Sorry the format sucks, I’m on mobile.
So, I have a 4 month old. On occasion I warm formula that has been in the fridge in the microwave. 20 seconds, All it needs. Yes, I shake it and test it on my arm everytime to make sure it is just right and i barely do this as i have a baby brezza. Don’t come at me. Lol.
Now today my 9 year old who is dealing with sensitive teeth asked me is I could warm her pear juice for her. Sure, no prob. The pear juice took 40 seconds just to reach room temperature. Why is this? Is it the sugars? I don’t know why this just occured to me and is bothering me but here we are.

Something called specific heat capacity means that liquids like water require more energy to make them boil https://youtu.be/18pK7rPtAAk
However there is also the issue with microwaves which use dielectric heating, basically rotating a molecule back and forth which water does very easily, but fat doesn’t https://youtu.be/V0dtq3rCEjw
