Hey you know, sometimes you don't have a kettle on hand and even if you do, it's all crusty and gross looking. Plus, it takes forever to boil the water. Microwaves on the other hand: you just put the water in it, wait a little bit, bada bing badda boom, it's done and ready to go. So like, if microwaving water is a crime, then lock me up
Sometimes you can superheat water in the microwave that explodes when taken out scalding you in the process. Fun science experiment.
Heating up food using microwaves does exactly that. It works because the waves are emitted within a certain frequency range that affects the water content within it, from which the heat spreads to the rest of the food over time.
