Microwaves

Microwave ovens heat foods using electromagnetic energy that produces heat within the food. Heating may be uneven because of differences in food shape, density, moisture, and microwave distribution.

For safe cooking, cover and rotate or stir food when appropriate, allow the recommended standing time, and check internal temperature at multiple locations with a food thermometer.
