It doesn’t cook outside in or inside out but both get the same amount of power. Problem is that microwave doesn’t do it evenly and lower power allows the heat to spread more evenly instead of couple auper heated spots drying while some parta are still cold. Rotating plate is a hack to try spread the radiation more evenly but doesn’t work too well.
This is not even remotely the same thing…
Ovens cook food from the outside in, this means higher temperatures can burn the outside.
Microwaves cook food from the inside out (sort of). You can get away with higher power for this reason for most foods.

Smaller masses help. Say for mashed potatoes, make essentially a ring on the plate as opposed to a big lump
While good in theory, in reality I never eat so little that I could possibly do that.
