How many times has this happened to you? Wanting to
get back your heated arguement over halfbakery posts
as to whether the fishbowl rolls or not, during your few
minutes of lunchbreak, you walk away from babysitting
the office microwave during the first 3 minutes of its
heating cycle, only
to come back 3.5 minutes later and
discover that someone has removed your meal before
you could stir it and complete the latter half of the prep
instructions. And this says nothing of the mess left in
the microwave by the onslaught of opened wrappings
required by the Soup Nazis that designed the meal
heating procedure.
Grr....
This little microwave-safe device ships inside your easy-
prep meal, and includes a clockwork catch and plastic
spring system that releases its stored potential upon
heating, stirring your turkey tetrazzini without the rest
of the agony. Simply pop it in, leave it in.
Maybe tinker with your microwave to add a rotating magnetic field?

Alternatively, stick the stirrer to the roof of the microwave, and let the spinning platter take care of the stirred

Going back to the magnetic stirrer, someone's tried it with the microwave:

As a simpler solution, why not include a memory-
metal coil inside each microwave meal? As the food
got hotter, the coil would progressively unwind and
then, cunningly, would coil in the opposite
direction. In so doing so, it would stir the contents. |

The question is why microwave ovens heat unevenly. It would be interesting to have some sort of solid which would change color on microwaving, to see what pattern the microwaves make. I have heard that if one attempts to microwave a cockroach, it will move to an oven area free from microwaves. |

One would this that the solution would be to have the microwave emitter on some sort of oscilator to move around. Or some sort of crazy rotating tray built right into the microwave. |

It depends. If the cockroach is less than
centimetre or two long, it will usually find a low
point and sit there (or run around the rotating
platter to remain there). Larger cockroaches (or,
indeed, cats) will try this approach but only for a
short time. |

If it's a Manhattan cockroach, it will just jam a
switchblade into the magnetron, kick the door
out, and then explain to you the error of your
ways. |

I'm going to pretend I didn't read that no matter how
many borg are driven to gales of joyous laughter. |
