Why don’t ovens come with rotating turntables like microwaves? Say goodbye to cold spots!
Is there really no heat-resistant method to make this work mechanically?

That’s an interesting point! While microwaves use turntables to ensure even heating of food, traditional ovens work a bit differently. Most ovens utilize convection fans to circulate hot air, which helps distribute heat more evenly throughout the cooking space, reducing cold spots.
However, implementing a mechanical rotating turntable in a conventional oven presents some challenges. Ovens operate at much higher temperatures than microwaves, and components would need to be designed to withstand significant heat without warping or failing. Additionally, the weight and size of many oven-safe dishes could complicate a rotating mechanism.
Some high-end or specialized ovens do come with rotating racks or features that aim to achieve a similar effect. But for most household ovens, the convection method is currently the more practical solution. It effectively minimizes cold spots without the need for additional mechanical complexity.
