Best Answer

The actual process of heating would be exactly the same. Microwave energy would begin to excite molecules of water, making them move more quickly and heating them up. Eventually the ice would melt, then boil. The water would heat up then boil.

What is the temperature of Microwaved and boiled water?

With the microwaved water, it pretty much depends on the microwave Owens temperature. Though boiling water is 100 degrees Celsius. (I would like to add): The water's temperature depends how long the microwave runs and the power of the microwave. However, if the water is boiling in the microwave, it is the EXACT same temperature as water boiling on the stove. The microwave is just another method of boiling the water.
