I bought one recently and I love it!!! Does anyone else here have one?

No more messing with that flippin' plate and making sure things fit as it

Boy you get a lot of gadgets! Are you running a test kitchen?

I'll have to do some research on that product. The problem with microwaves is getting the radiation to move around the oven cavity without creating dead spots and standing waves. The simplest way around that is to move the food around in order to average out the exposure to the waves. How did Panasonic solve that problem? Beats me.

I'll keep my peepers open for information.

Well I sure don't move anything around Hey, how did you
know it was a Panasonic)

It is a regular oven and grill too, but I hardly use
it for that. I hope you do get one and we can compare notes)

The one we had used a paddle rotating under the floor. It caused the
radiation to move around instead of the food. Worked well enough.

It was presumptuous of me to say Panasonic - that was just a slip of my tongue. I associate the brand with microwave oven technology.

As it goes, I was not aware of this type of microwave oven. The problem with microwaves is that they travel in straight lines and getting them to move about evenly in a oven has always been a problem. The highly directional nature of microwave propagation is what makes radar technology possible but it's not so good in microwave ovens. Anyway, I will research this, thanks.

I believe that all microwave ovens have these paddles to dissipate the microwaves. Typically, they are located on the top or the side and resembles a fan blade. My guess that a disco type ball design would probably work great..

Please report back Just so you know, it works fine but the bottom of the

My microwave won't pop popcorn worth a shit.

The bottom of the dish should always get hot. That's how you know the food
is heated through.

LOLOL It's funny you should say that. The microwave I had in my
apartment before I moved here had a turntable and that flippin' round
plate!. I recall posting here that I didn't like it. Everyone told me
there should be a way to turn it off. There wasn't. Then it was
suggested I just remove the glass plate. Sure, I could do that but I
couldn't remove the built-in carousel that turned the plate or shut it
off. PITA when it came to using a rectangular pan or something slightly
larger than the round plate, arrgh!

I love having a flat bottom microwave. Mine is very old, though.
Enjoy your new one without the turntable. I mean really, how difficult
is it to turn a dish in the microwave?

The bottom of the dish should always get hot. That's how you know the food
is heated through.

Yes but I would have thought all the food in a microwave would be mostly the
same.

Near as I can tell the microwave generator is located on the bottom of the unit. Most standard ovens will have the magnetron on the top. Why on the bottom? I don't know. It seems so counter-intuitive. Moving the microwave source closer to the food with no rotation would seem to invite hot and cold spots. I need a book on microwave oven theory.

Did you know that most ovens with turntables will rotate the food 6 times per minute?

Well I didn't, but I have only ever had ovens with turntables. My last one

When I first got it I did a search, but I can't find it now. It pictured

It does make sense. That looks like the square wave output of the magnetron, which generates the microwaves. A magnetron works exactly like a flute except instead of air, a stream of electrons are used to excite an enclosed chamber and instead of sound, the output is electromagnetic radiation with a frequency of 2.45 GHz. That would be around a D on the music scale - a really high D!

It does make sense. That looks like the square wave output of the magnetron,
which generates the microwaves. A magnetron works exactly like a flute
except instead of air, a stream of electrons are used to excite an enclosed
chamber and instead of sound, the output is electromagnetic radiation with a
frequency of 2.45 GHz. That would be around a D on the music scale - a
really high D!

Heh I tried to make it more clear but I see you understood)

I've been meaning to ask, how is that different to a microwave with a
turntable.
