No, not that kind of baked.

Smart Microwave
Microwave turntable that always stops in the position it started

Microwave turntable remembers start position, and either adjusts rotation speed so it ends up where it started, or continues turning after the cooking stops, so it ends up where it started.

Anyone who's ever reheated a beverage, and pawed frantically at the superheated vessel to try and get the handle in a reachable position - this one's for you.

       I swear this was the main selling point of a microwave advertised on TV a few years ago... can't find it though.

       I rememeber this being advertised in the late eighties or early nineties as a 'boomerang turntable'.

       I thought modern microwave ovens didn't have a need for turntables.

       Curiously, BrauBeaton, I use the very microwave you link to at work, and it was its ability to leave the cup in exactly the *wrong* place that made me think of this. Baked, yes, but the implementation's definitely half-baked ...

       Baked? Certainly not widely known to exist! I likes.

       The existence of rubberised novelty fish is arguably not 'widely known' either.

       God point. I'm with you [Texticle].
