Comment on Do rotating plates in microwaves help when heating food?

The Cheese Test (youtube link) is a great way to visualize this. If the food doesn’t rotate, you end up with hot and cold spots.
(This was just the first video I could find of someone performing the test for people who hadn’t heard of it, I didn’t listen to the video, only confirm that that’s what they’re doing)

The theory is that a rotating plate heats food evenly
In practice what ends up happening is my ceramic bowl heats to 500 degrees while the contents somehow get colder???

Y’all need to try lowering the power setting on your microwave and heating your food a little longer.
Also, if you’re heating something like lasagna where it’s almost impossible to properly heat up, cut it up into smaller slices so there’s less insulation. Still isn’t perfect, but at least it won’t be literally cold after 3 minutes.

Do you put the dish in the center or on the edge?
Ever since I switched to on the edge it’s noticeably improved, the bowl still gets hot but at least the food also gets kinda hot

Potatoes on edge, rice chicken and leaves in the middle
Lasagna: slice it and make a ring
