Things like hot pockets and microwave pizzas use what is called a susceptor (usually in the form of a sleeve or container). These susceptors convert microwave energy into heat, which help crisp up food in the microwave, countering the effects of sogginess that is synonymous with microwave ovens.

What keeps most nutrients in food-microwave or boil?
Microwave. Boiling food enables the nutrients to 'leech out' into the boiling water. Microwaving simply agitates the water molecules within the food.
Which element in the microwave heats the food and is it good for your health to eat food made in a microwave?
Microwave ovens have a "part" or device inside them called a magnetron. The magnetron is a microwave generator, and when we energize it, it generates electromagnetic waves at fairly high power (several hundred watts) and at a microwave frequency (about 2450 megaHertz). The non-ionizing electromagnetic waves or rays generated by the magnetron cause the bonds between hydrogen and oxygen atoms in water molecules to "vibrate" sympathetically with the microwave radiation. The result is that the water molecule is "given energy" by the microwave, and this energy is expressed as "vibration" of the water molecule. It is thermal, or heat energy, and the oven heats/cooks food by heating the water in the food using microwave electromagnetic energy. As stated, this radiation is non-ionizing radiation, and it will not "harm" the food, per se. Normally heated or cooked food that is put thorugh a microwave oven is safe to eat. You will not suffer any ill effects because of something the microwave oven did to the food item(s). Note that the oven can burn food, and burnt food has some toxins in it.
