When you microwave food, you are essentially running AC through it, using the food as a dielectric material.

When you make toast in the microwave, the inside of the slice of bread will turn brown, while the outside stays white. (Careful timing is require; a few seconds too long and smoke will start oozing out of the bread's pores while it is still white.)
