A turntable in a microwave oven rotates the food being warmed or cooked, with evenness of heating being the aim. A microwave oven is a sealed box, a Faraday cage, into which microwaves--nonionizing radiation of about 2.45 GHz frequency--are injected. The microwaves are generated by a magnetron and fed into the box at only one point via a waveguide. So better ovens will use a microwave stirrer, a turntable, or both to help the microwaves more evenly reach the food.
