More than one. If you only wanted to heat water the optimal frequency 
would be quite a bit higher. However that would increase the problem of 
the center of the mass not being heated very well.

The dielectric heaters I worked with were around 100 MHz and used the near 
field effect. The material was placed inside the two plates of a 
capacitor. It heats the material more uniformly but isn't practical for a 
counter top unit. 

I worked in that field before consumer microwaves were widely used but it 
didn't take long for the factory workers to discover that what could heat 
a phenolic preform worked well with pizza. We had one of the smaller units 
in engineering that was great for reviving day old pastries from the 
bakery down the street.
