Answer 1

To actually answer your question, regular ovens use a chamber that contains a heating element.  The heat then cooks the food.

A microwave oven uses high frequencies to cause increased molecular action in the food.  It uses no heating element.  The molecular action in the food is what generates the heat, and cooks the food, usually more quickly.

Just like different kinds of cooking will have various effects on food, such as baking, roasting, broiling, frying, etc, the microwave oven has a different effect on cooking.  Baking or roasting in a microwave oven can be done, but it doesn't really seem to work out as well as a regular oven.  For quick cooking, though, it's very energy efficient and fast.
