Converting between different grid frequencies would need a rectifier/inverter or rotary converter - and one that can handle high power (1200W+ sustained) as well. That's quite a bit of equipment to run just a microwave...

Edit: Looks like units capable of dealing with these kinds of power specs run for around $2300 USD, e.g. http://www.gohz.com/2kva-frequency-converter
