Yes, a flatbed microwave is much better than a turntable one. Instead of using a traditional turntable used for cooking and heating, flatbed technology microwaves come with a sleek flatbed base where microwaves are fed through a rotating antenna placed beneath the floor of the microwave. Since the turntable is absent, this ensures that there is much more cooking space and capacity inside the microwave that can be utilised well. This extra space allows you to cook with dishes of any shape and form inside the microwave cavity. As there is no turntable to create an obstruction, cleaning spills and splatters in a flatbed oven becomes super easy too! In fact, flatbed microwaves also tend to use much better cooking technology which ensures that your meals are cooked evenly throughout. These are some reasons why most of the Hafele microwaves and microwave ovens make use of flatbed technology instead of a turntable.
