    It’s an effect of how they work which is inherently uneven saved depends largely on what it is cooking or rather it’s water content.

      Yes a wave has peaks and valleys

      Rotating reduces this short coming

      And waiting allows the heat to spread

        Not just that they have peaks and valleys, some things are simply not heated by microwaves. The ice crystals in frozen food are only heated by-proxy because the tiny amounts of already melted off water will heat up and melt more ice, so there is no benefit in blasting an ice cube at full power for 40 minutes.
