My carousel turns one revolution in 7sec. So when I heat my coffee cup I use a multiple of 7 so that it ends up in front where I put it. Brent On 1/27/2014 12:58 PM, Dan Asimov wrote:
I've noticed that when I put my cup of water+teabags in the microwave to boil, it almost always end up with the cup handle pointed toward the *back* of the microwave -- the most inconvenient position for removing it. (Oh, the perversity of inanimate objects!)
(I often vary the time that it's in there. The "teacup" is a modern 2-cup pyrex measuring cup, so the handle is a significant fraction of the cup's weight.)

Why do microwave ovens alternate between rotating the food-carousel clockwise and rotating it counterclockwise (or, as the Brits would say, anticlockwise)?
