If you could transport that heat inside the food by something other than heat conduction, you could cook faster. Heat conduction takes time, so you have to let the inside of something heat up before the outside burns.

Microwaves do that, and tend to cook faster. Unfortunately, microwaves don’t cook evenly, and are limited to about 1100W for most houses
