    Yes a wave has peaks and valleys

    Rotating reduces this short coming

    And waiting allows the heat to spread

      Not just that they have peaks and valleys, some things are simply not heated by microwaves. The ice crystals in frozen food are only heated by-proxy because the tiny amounts of already melted off water will heat up and melt more ice, so there is no benefit in blasting an ice cube at full power for 40 minutes.
