heat energy
A microwave oven uses electrical energy (which is electromagnetic energy) from the mains, and it generates microwave energy (which is also electromagnetic energy) to heat/cook food items.
compare microwave oven to conventional oven
The microwave energy in a microwave oven is of a much lower frequency than light, but light is electromagnetic energy like the microwave radiation is.
We find that in the microwave oven, electromagnetic energy (microwaves) are converted in thermal (heat) energy.
The energy waves produced in a microwave oven take the form of electromagnetic radiation at about 2,450 MHz, which is in the microwave range.

electrical energy of when you turn the oven on to thermal energy when it is heating up
The electromagnetic energy (electricity) the oven operates on is being converted into mechanical (sound) energy when the timer beeps.
Energy - of whatever kind - is measured in Joules. Power (energy per time unit) is measured in Watts.
