The microwaves cause vibrations in the moisture molecules in the food and the friction causes heat. In this way microwaves cause food to cook from the inside out and is why it does not create browning on the outside.

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

No, sound waves cannot cook food the way microwaves do. Microwaves heat food by causing the water molecules inside to vibrate rapidly, generating heat. Sound waves do not have the same heating effect on food as microwaves.


What does it mean when a microwave oven uses convection microwaves?

A convection microwave uses both microwaves and convection heating to cook the food. The convection cooking allows the food to be browned and cooks the outer part of the food while the microwaves cook the interior of the food.
