    It’s related to thermodynamics but it’s basically the square-cube law: the bigger you get the more your internal volume grows compared to your size.

    Heating something large evenly is very difficult because of this. It’s why burritos are lava on the outside and icicles on the inside out of the microwave, or why you need to cook a large roast slowly.

      Hopefully we won’t use basic microwaves then :-)

      I read about nano particles spread out in the tissues, made to vibrate (probably by EM) to heat up larger portions uniformly.

      It’s just a matter of time and effort.
