It Only Took Me 10 Years

Sometimes things amaze me, and they aren't always interesting or exciting things, mind you. Take my microwave, for example. It has a turntable inside, as many do these days, that spins round and round when you microwave something. It has the normal features one might expect. Quick punch starting, for example, you hit a 1 or 2 or 5 or whatever and it automatically cooks for that amount of minutes. It has a timer. It has a defrost feature, which I use all the time. But it also has a button that allows me to turn off the turntable, which I did not know was a feature it had. I just discovered it the other day when I went to change the clock yet again for the nth time. I saw it, "Turntable," and thought, what the heck does that do? I hit the button and it said, "Turntable off." I hit it again and it said, "Turntable on." 10 years owning the stupid thing and I had no idea I could turn the turntable on and off. lol

I was so proud of myself for being able to change the clock after the daylight savings thing. Took me 1 minute. . . after owning the same car for like 8 years.

Sometimes life can be a challenge. Okay, that comment is done. Now I can get on with the 7-day ignore. See you on the 24th, and happy birthday.

I don't have that feature on my microwave oven, so consider yourself special. I do have a grill in mine, though.

Just now
@porwest The coils are up at the "ceiling" of the oven and only heat up when I push the grill buttons. Works like a toaster oven.

A grill in your microwave? How on Earth does THAT work?

I don't have that feature on my microwave. I have never noticed it on any either when shopping for a new one!!

Either way, I can find no reason to even use the feature. Why would I not want the turntable to be on? Edit: Looeyville's comment makes sense to me. That might be ONE reason. Hadn't thought about it until she mentioned it.

Yeah, when we have an oversized dish that can't make the turn radius, we have to turn off the turntable.

Hmm. I had not thought about that. That does make sense to me.
