Why do microwave ovens have turntables?

Many microwave ovens have turntables inside to help cook the food more evenly. If your microwave does not have one, a turntable accessory can be purchased to help prevent hot spots. You can determine where the hot spots are in your microwave by conducting a marshmallow test.

Low Mix combines convection heat with microwave power for perfect baking results. Use the Low Mix setting for baked goods that require more than 20 minutes baking time. Angel food and bundt cakes, quick breads and yeast breads and large muffins are examples of foods that bake perfectly at this setting.

When it comes to turntable microwaves, you can heat food in it without the platter, but there’s a big flipside. If it’s not rotating continuously within the microwave, the food just won’t heat evenly. You’ll need to regularly stop the microwave, stir the contents, change the position of the container, and so on.

No. Many plastic bowls which are safe in dishwasher or microwave oven may melt or catch fire in an ordinary oven.

Convection Microwave turntables should rotate during preheat in Convection Mode. Standard Microwave turntables should always rotate during use.

The oven should not be used without the turntable in place, and it should never be restricted so that it cannot rotate. You may remove the turntable when preheating the oven and when preparing food to be cooked directly on the turntable.

The motor tends to be a cheap Synchronous AC motor. The design uses the shift in AC polarity (Going from Positive to Negative phases and back) to create a magnetic field in a coil, which interacts with a multi-poled permanent magnet.

It can rotate the big glass plate and on it all your food and dishes. When you connect the motor to its nominal operating voltage supply ( 220 Volts ) it rotates at 6 rpm

It does rotate. It is easy to stop the rotation by the push of a button. Sorry, there was a problem.

Unlike microwaves with a glass plate, most microwaves without turntables come with a dial timer. However, you can also find some non-rotating microwaves with touch control keypads.

Convection Mode: Utensils made of Glass, Silicon and Metal can be used. Utensils made of plastic, paper or wood should not used.

Cooking bags also provide safe, even cooking. Stir, rotate, or turn foods upside down (where possible) midway through the microwaving time to even the cooking and eliminate cold spots where harmful bacteria can survive. Even if the microwave oven has a turntable, it’s still helpful to stir and turn food top to bottom.

A noisy humming or vibrating noise can mean you need the magnetron tube replaced. An abnormal clicking sound can also be a sign of a bad magnetron. A grinding or groaning sound can signify a problem with the turntable roller guide or turntable drive motor. Grinding can also mean there’s a problem with the stirrer motor.
