- Just your imagination. Microwaves heat food by heating the water in the food
- through absorption if microwave radiation. Conventional ovens, for example,
- heat the food by applying a higher temperature. Nevertheless, once a given
- food is heated to a given temperature, it will cool the same regardless of
- the process of heating.
