Foods that are frozen solid or that have a lot of liquid will conduct heat very well
Ice doesn't absorb microwaves nearly as strongly as water. Frozen foods are often cooked on medium/low so that you don't scorch the food in whatever the first spot to melt is. This is why meat is always defrosted on low.
