Why does heat from the microwave make bread floppy while heat from a toaster makes bread crispy?

I made a toaster waffle for myself this morning. Growing impatient, I popped it out before it was all the way done. As I was buttering it, I noticed parts of the waffle were still cold. Since there was already butter and syrup on it, I couldn’t put it back in the toaster. I threw it in the microwave for 20 seconds and it came out floppy instead of crispy. What gives?

One is heating the air, the other is heating the moisture.
Personally, I love the [Pizzazz Pizza oven](https://www.amazon.com/Presto-03430-Pizzazz-Plus-Rotating/dp/B00005IBXJ), I can put what I was going to put on it, ghee, butter, whatever, and put it for a certain time, and if I miss the end, it’s still going to be in the cooldown phase keeping it warm for longer than a toaster. Larger counter space, but so many uses.
