Why are microwaves used for Microwave Ovens instead of visible or infrared light?

If there is more energy in visible light and infrared, why do we use microwave light for Microwave ovens?

Wouldn't a Visible Light appliance with the same concept of a Microwave be even more efficient at beating our food? The same could be said for Infrared Light?

No, a 600 watt incandescent light bulb would not last as long as a magnetron. The heat would be dissipated mostly in the oven walls. It would not penetrate the surface of the food. It would be a conventional oven. Microwaves penetrate around 10mm and they don't heat the walls. 

The GE trivection oven uses convection, infrared, and microwaves. It was invented by Jack Donaghy.
