Microwaves tend to come in 2 types, ones with a rotating plate and ones without. Assuming everything else is equal about a microwave does rotating the food assist with the reheating?

    Tray-less microwaves have a spinning metal “stirring fan” below a plastic floor you set your food upon to mix the bounce path the microwaves take. Since they expose fewer moving parts to the end user they are easier to clean and more resilient making them a good option for commercial / high volume settings.

      I haven’t seen one for sale in a few decads though. Where can I get one?

        The keyword is “flatbed”. They are well available. Mine is a noisy Whirlpool MWF 421 BL with a glass floor and door, coarse pulse width modulation fractional power (overheat and cool down alternating), and a grill that doesn’t work at the same time with the microwave (heat first, then brown). I’m looking for a quieter one with inverter for real fractional power.
