Why Do People Clean The Inside Of Microwave Ovens?

Wouldn't the radiation destroy any harmful germs when its heating food?

Microwaves surely can't be that short as otherwise you'd not need the turntable to avoid hot & cold spots.

OG, my large microwave is a flatbed, no turntable and no cold spots.

My last smaller one was a flatbed too

If spattered foods has a high sugar content it could catch fire

Manky microwaves smell.

Something must be spinning, because original design needs one. Maybe the generator moves instead ?

[Old_Geezer]

Or maybe different ovens have different frequencies ?

[THECORBYLOON]

"Rather than rotating food on the turntable to heat evenly, a flatbed model has a rotating microwave antenna that is located underneath the base of the microwave.

[THECORBYLOON]

That emphasis was there already and I couldn't change it.
