This is not the case as microwave ovens deposit heat the surface of the food in much the same way as conventional ovens. The difference is that microwaves penetrate the food deeper,which is influenced by the density of the food and depends on the water content of the food. The depth of penetration is also down to the length of the microwave, with shorter microwaves penetrating deeper.
