Having a little debate with my Mom about microwave turntables

[monster]

Did you throw the turntable away? could you have it adapted so it's easier to put back on the track?

I imagine your mum's worried about you consuming too many microwaves if your food has hotspots, or some such. I remember when microwave ovens came out in the UK, people were convinced that if the food wasn't properly rotated, the radiation would kill them. She would be of the right age to remember all of those scares, and such things can stay at the back of your mind like superstitions.

She loves you, she's just trying to look out for you.

Never thought about it.

Not really. Most things I heat up are only for 2 minutes. Never had a problem without the turntable. The center of the triangular in mine is circular, so it's kinda like a turntable. If I had a digital camera, I'd take a picture, and show yous guys.

I try to keep her updated. She's "with it."
