We find that in the microwave oven, electromagnetic energy (microwaves) are converted in thermal (heat) energy.
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.
In a microwave, wasted energy can occur due to heat loss through the walls of the oven, inefficient conversion of electrical energy to microwave radiation, and energy not being absorbed by the food being heated. This can result in lower efficiency and longer cooking times.
Energy - of whatever kind - is measured in Joules. Power (energy per time unit) is measured in Watts.
A microwave oven uses electricity to generate electromagnetic radiation in the microwave frequency range. This radiation is absorbed by water, fats, and sugars in food, causing them to vibrate and generate heat, which cooks the food.
Microwave ovens are typically more energy efficient than conventional ovens because they cook food faster and use less electricity. Conventional ovens take longer to heat up and cook food, resulting in higher energy consumption. Using a microwave oven for smaller meals or quick reheating can help save energy compared to using a conventional oven.

Yes, items in a microwave oven can be said to absorb microwaves. The microwave energy causes what is called dielectric heating, and this activity takes energy from the microwave beam.

Heat energy
Yes
It can do certainly. In a microwave oven there is enough energy to heat food quickly

A convection oven microwave is a kitchen appliance that combines the functions of a convection oven and a microwave. It uses both convection heating and microwave energy to cook food quickly and evenly. The main difference from a traditional microwave oven is that a convection oven microwave has a fan and exhaust system that circulates hot air around the food, allowing for faster and more even cooking.
Kinetic energy is the mechanical energy (thermal energy) that does the heating/cooking in a microwave oven. The microwaves that the oven generates stimulate chemical bonds in food, and this is the conversion of electromagnetic energy into that heat we mentioned.
