All my experience with reheating and conventional ovens shows that

burn stuff. Microwave ovens require pretty heroic measures to get them

A friend of mine once tried to melt some chocolate in a microwave. After
about a minute, it still looked the same. So she zapped it a bit more...
and a bit more...

In the end, it still didn't look melted. In fact it looked rather like a
piece of chocolate-shaped charcoal.

Whereas if she'd stirred it after the first zap.

Or she realized that things continue to conduct heat after the
microwave stops.
