Microwave features
The rotating plate that became a standard feature on most microwaves some years ago were a great addition. They enable food to be cooked more evenly. The bowls and mugs best for microwaving have handles on them to protect your hands from the freshly heated contents. If you build microwaves please bring these two features together and build a microwave that stops the rotating plate in the same position it started in so hands aren’t burnt trying to rotate the mug to grab the handle.

That’s not as simple as it sounds, since varying cooking times will rotate the platter to varying positions.
Of course, you could propose a platter that rotates between X and Y times per minute depending on the total time, but given that you can also stop a microwave in mid-rotation whenever you like, it becomes….tricky.
They could simply have the platter start and stop in the same position every time.
Wouldn’t that depend on the speed of rotation ?
If I need it to run for 20 seconds but it takes 12 seconds to go round, it would have to stop after either 12 or 24 seconds, both of which are probably ungood…
It could just continue after the cooking time but stop if someone opens the door.
