Flash freezing things is a thing.

Well, it does exist, it's called laser cooling, but it's only if you want to have things really cold

Call it Macrowave!

Probably not. Nice choice of pic to illustrate the need, though ๐Ÿ˜„

It's a lot easier to generate heat from electricity than to transfer them out. Closest bet would be just blasting cold air but heat transfer will be slow so it's still quite limited.

Liquid nitrogen bath, works opposite of a microwave, freezes it from outside and towards the middle.

You would need to find a way to make food spontaneously emit microwaves so it loses energy and cools off. That probably involves altering the strength of one of the nuclear forces or something.

There is a drink chiller that chills drinks in about a minute. You could use the same idea for other things.

The Chill-O-Matic is smaller, cheaper and probably easier to clean as it doesn't seem to have tubing.

The design of that machine in your link is a lot of overkill for something simple.
