Microwaves heat things up by agitating molecules don’t they? So isn’t it possible to modify the waves so that molecules are aligned and slowed so that your food could be instantly frozen?

Not really; the fact that you are adding energy to the object is what agitates the molecules, not the fact that the energy is arriving by means of waves (although to be honest there may not be any other way to deliver energy to an atom/molecule that doesn’t’ involve waves, at some scale).
That would be similar to the method used to achive a Boose-Einstein condensation; use a laser to smack a few atoms into motionless; however, doing the same with a turkey would be impossible. AFAIK
Well, that would be (quotes with fingers ala Dr. Evil) “LASERS”, not just one.
Anyway, this reminded me of Thermoacustic Refrigeration , cool tunes indeed, dude.
