Hypothetically could sound be used to cook food the way microwaves cook food in a microwave oven?

Yes. But you wouldn't want to be near it. Yikes!

Do microwaves work with sound waves at all?
Microwaves and sound waves are similar because they are electromagnetic waves. The main difference between the two types of waves is the length of the wave. Sound waves are longer than microwaves.
Which of the following is not a form of radiation A Radio waves B Sound waves C Microwaves D Gamma waves?
Sound waves
What travels the fastest sound in air rocket in space light in vacuum microwaves in glass?
light in a vacuum
Is the interior light a necessity for a Panasonic microwave because your light is not on when your microwave is in use?
The purpose of the light in a microwave oven is to enable the user to observe the progress of the cooking, and to serve as another indication ... in addition to the sound of the fan ... of when the oven is energized. The light is only a convenience, and has no effect on the operation of the appliance.
Can you convert sound waves to light waves or viseversa?
Yes, this happens all the time with communications. As radio and microwaves from mobile phones and radios are a form of the EM spectrum, which are converted into sound waves in the form of a person speaking or a song playing.

Is it possible to make a microwave oven that would play music but with microwaves - heating up your meal with Beethoven symphony?
Yes, but I'm not sure why you'd want to. You can modulate a magnetron so the plasma it generates will throw off audible sound...if you add a LOT of parts to the microwave oven. Some crazy man in Europe did this. It works, but the webpage he put up says this could kill you. And he's right. A less-dangerous way would be to put an MP3 player in the microwave, and a speaker in it, and control it with the microwave oven's timer.
How do sound waves escape microwave ovens?
I think it is to do with the wavelenght of the sound waves. I think there are tiny holes in the microwave and the sound waves are small enough to escape out of the microwave - meanig we can hear our food cook!
What energy is wasted by a microwave?
Sound
What energy transformation occurs in an oven?
The electricity (electromagnetic energy) that drives the microwave oven is routed to the magnetron, which generates the microwave energy. (The electricity and microwave energy are both forms of electromagnetic energy.) The microwaves travel through a waveguide into the cavity (the cooking space) in the oven, and used to excite chemical bonds in the food items. This is a conversion of microwave energy (electromagnetic energy) into the mechanical energy of heat.
What also travels as a wave?
Light and sound travel in waves as do microwaves.
What are sonar rays?
Sonar is a method of detecting underwater objects with sound pulses-like radar but with sound not microwaves
What energy transformation in a microwave?
The microwave undergoes a variety of energy transformations when you are heating food. Starting from electrical energy (obtained via the mains power point/wall socket), the energy is transformed into microwave/thermal radiation (electromagnetic radiation/energy). These 'microwaves' react with the water particles in the food and cause them to vibrate. The friction produced by these vibrations produces heat and ultimately cooks/heats up your food. However, there is some energy that is transformed into light (the light you see when the microwave is one), sound (that humming noise you hear when it's operating) and kinetic energy (the rotating disk inside the microwave). Energy is transformed from electrical to heat, sound and light (if the microwave has a light). Energy is transferred to the food via the process of convection.

yes sound travels in a wave known as the soundwave like many others(radiowaves,microwaves,and heatwaves)
