Do liquidy foods thaw faster or slower in the microwave?

Asked by Flavio (1111points) August 29th, 2010

It’s always a mystery to me why some of my leftovers take so long to thaw in my work microwave and some heat up so fast. I know that the microwave over works by generating friction between the water molecules in food. I don’t know if more liquidy foods heat up faster because of this or if they take longer because more water has to thaw. Any thoughts?
