Two or More Plates

Two 10¹⁄₂-in. (26 cm) plates may be heated side by side, or one dish larger than the turntable, plus 2 plates on the cooking rack. For best results, halfway through heating, turn the plates (or larger dish) halfway around, and switch plates between top and bottom (if heating more than 2 plates). See “Cooking Rack” section.

The turntable must be turned off while heating 2 bottom plates or one larger dish. See “Turntable” section.
