>>2225949Microwaves work by projecting microwave radiation (hence the name) directly onto the water molecules in food and liquids, making them move rapidly, which heats them up
Convection heating heats the metal of the pot you are boiling, which the heats the water
I imagine you are right about it being fairly comparable of how quick heating is, but I would imagine microwaves would be overall faster. Correct me if I'm wrong
