Tangentially, there is an opinion (Shitas HoRashbo) where it can be extrapolated that for the purposes of Bishul after Bishul, microwave based cooking isn't considered bishul as it doesn't involve fire and so a potato kigel heated up the first time in this way may not be considered halachically d'orayso mevushal and one couldn't reheat it in a permitted way on shabbos. From what I recall the Rambam looks at the result, and the Rashbo needs it to be through fire for it to be bishul d'orayso. I could be wrong, of course :-)

Yes. Bishul :-)
