Probably a stupid question, but will we ever have something like a microwave to make things cold? Is there a reason this can't exist?

It's not. A device that rapidly cools things down placed inside it isn't implausible. He's not asking for a beam of absence, he's asking for an enclosed space that subtracts heat.
Shooting something with “cold energy beams” is an anti-microwave
We aren’t talking about machines to make things cold, I was asked if we could make microwaves that make stuff cold
I do believe that's a freezer.
Yes or one of those weird ice cream things that has an extremely cold surface, or one of those things where you roll it in ice water or a million machines. "Machine that makes things cold" isn't sci fi.
