Nah dude, surface tension is, like, electromagnetic and stuff.  delta Hvap is potential energy converted to kinetic, not a transfer of kinetic energy via collision a la Boltzmann.

NERD FIGHT!!

Not relevant.

" A rise in the temperature of matter makes the particles vibrate faster. Thermal energy is what we call energy that comes from the temperature of matter. The hotter the substance, the more its molecules vibrate, and therefore the higher its thermal energy. "

Back to steam vs microwave. Steam temperature is 212F, it can overcook some food if you are reheating. Microwave (inverter type microwaving) can give you better reheat control.
