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?

It depends, the microwave heats stuff from the inside by heating up all water molecules. Give it just a little bit more time in the microwave and your floppy dish will turn into a hard brick because all the water evaporated
If you use a toaster, you’re heating from the outside, most stuff with a crust doesn’t transfer heat very well, so it’s easy to burn it at the outside while it’s still frozen on the inside. All in all, the water is also evaporating slower using a toaster which compared to the microwave doesn’t steam the outside and makes it floppy
