There's hot spots in the microwave, the tray rotates your food through those to help heat more evenly.
As long as you don't center your food on the turn table!
I'm pretty sure every microwave I ever had, had a turntable. I had a microwave from Montgomery Ward. The source of the radiation is on the side wall so the closer side gets more.
and the center is the coldest place . put food off center
SO....did you just extract your head from your ass or is this your first visit to planet Earth?
Microwaves with turning platters are NOT NEW, they've had turning platters since the 70's and 80's, where the fuck were you?
The first, cheaper models didn't but the more expensive, brand name ones did.
If you never heard of microwaves with "spinning platters", what till you hear about the bullshit called "COVID19", or you could just go back into your bomb shelter, the 50's and 60's are over.
Can someone tell me what these strange looking horseless carriages are that are moving all over these black roads?
Also suprised you own a device capable to post here. Troll power
Fucking wrecked lmao.
Your old microwave oven had a slow turning aluminum stirrer fan in the roof, over the outlet of the magnetron’s waveguide. It helped bounce the microwaves evenly over the oven cavity. A cheap glass plate and a cheaper motor replace that, and it makes the plebs think something more is happening since they can see movement.
The better ovens used to have both.
Micro waves are not uniform so by turning you get even heating. If you want to see the heat wave pattern you can take the turning plate out, sprinkle shred cheese on a plate and heat it briefly. It will melt in some spots and not others if you measure between the melted spots you can even calculate the speed of light using and your microwave.
Cheese is hard to clean and expensive. Just use tin foil and look at where the lights dance before the fuse blows.
(Jkjk ->>> sad feeling that maybe necessary)
It's perfectly safe as long as you remember to put some gasoline on the foil.
Can vouch, when the microwave is emitted at one point in a cubed Faraday cage the waves bounce around unevenly, turning platters, building spherical microwave ovens or putting tinfoil over your food to disrupt them are the only options for evenly cooked food.
only since the last 35 years, yes
Welcome to 1990. We've been waiting for you for what seems like THIRTY FUCKING YEARS.
Huh? This isn't that new of a feature, at least 20 years...probably more.
And it makes absolute sense, it isn't a source of heat, it is a source of microwave radiation that travels in one direction and when that radiation contacts the food, the molecules are excited by the radiation, and heat up. Radiation is absorbed most on the side emitting the microwaves, meaning it will heat most on that side. Spin it, and all sides(except the inside) heat up at an even rate.
Just wait until you find out about the microwaves with metal shelves.
Wait until you hear of this novel concept called a toaster oven, it will change your life
