    I know, for example, that my microwave completes one full rotation every 10 seconds. If I want to heat something for 45 seconds, it’ll end up backwards. But that’s on me for not using a multiple of 10 seconds.

      For my microwave its 20 second intervals. But also, let’s say I open the door mid-run, if the tray is rotating clockwise, when I restart it it will rotate counterclockwise. Every time you open it it reverses it’s rotation.

      I don’t know if all microwaves do this, or just mine. I never really had cause to notice until I started making desserts and candies, where you often nuke for 10 seconds, stir, 10 seconds, stir to melt chocolate. Easiest to just set for 40 seconds and open/close than it is to reset each time. This is the only microwave I’ve done that with, though, so idk if it’s common
