Microwaves tend to come in 2 types, ones with a rotating plate and ones without. Assuming everything else is equal about a microwave does rotating the food assist with the reheating?

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)
Only on microwaves that are designed to rotate food. there are designs that work without rotating but most people like to see their food go around so that is what most get.
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??? Except for like, one carrot that is now glowing red
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
