Comment on Do rotating plates in microwaves help when heating food?
Schlemmy@lemmy.ml 2 days agoI know what you’re trying to say but it just isn’t that simple.
With my mother’s 40 year old microwave the center is the worst spot but mine is just different. How the energy is distributed will differ from device to device.
You can’t know where the standing waves occur so you’ll just have to experiment but I’ll agree that the safest guess is to put your food slightly off centered on the rotating disc.

No you’re completely missing the point.
It’s about how much of the volume the object can take up due to the plate spinning.
If it’s perfectly centered, it only takes up its own volume. If it is off to the side it swoops around and takes up the volume that it takes up but on every quadrant of the plate as it rotates
I don’t have any interest in discussing this with you any further
