> Also it heats food inside out equally as compared to stove which transmit heat from the out layer to inside
This is also false, photons don't teleport themselves to the inside of food.

This frequency does not happen to be absorbed by cooking oils very much.
An approximate rule of thumb is that a nominally powered microwave oven will penetrate an inch to maybe two inches into ordinary food before all the energy has been absorbed so that's about as far as it will heat "toward the inside" rather than from the inside. Unless it's little things like small potatoes where the needed heat forms through-and-through. For much bigger stuff where the deep part can not be energized directly, it can be good to take it easy so the outer target layer can be kept from overheating long enough for the outer layer itself to cook the inside thoroughly.
Or take a break a couple times to stir a large bowl of soup between heating sessions.
