ELI5: Is 1 minute in a 500Watt microwave the same as 30 seconds in a 1000Watt microwave?

Same amount of energy applied, but if it's a food that can't be uniformly heated, you won't get the same result. Sort of like putting a chicken in a 700 degree oven instead of 350 and expecting to cook it twice as fast. Microwaves penetrate more and heat water and fats, so not a perfect analogy.
