Flash freezing things is a thing.
Well, it does exist, it's called laser cooling, but it's only if you want to have things really cold
You just have to rotate the food the other way in the microwave like in Steins;Gate.
Call it Macrowave!
There is! It's called a blast chiller and just takes a dumby amount of energy proportional the amount of energy removed from the food. It's easier to add than subtract.
Probably not. Nice choice of pic to illustrate the need, though ๐
It's a lot easier to generate heat from electricity than to transfer them out. Closest bet would be just blasting cold air but heat transfer will be slow so it's still quite limited.
Liquid nitrogen bath, works opposite of a microwave, freezes it from outside and towards the middle.
You would need to find a way to make food spontaneously emit microwaves so it loses energy and cools off. That probably involves altering the strength of one of the nuclear forces or something.
