Radarange Touchup

[perc-o-prince]

Miele has been using the "stirrer blade" in the roof for years in the speed ovens. Those have a major flaw though when it comes to cleaning though. There's a thumb nut near the right end of the broil element that you can remove. The element then swings down, hinged on the left end, but not enough to get a regular human hand in there to wipe the ceiling. Bits of stuff burn to the cover over the stirrer blade and eventually cause failure of the cover, blade, or both.

We pop corn in ours pretty regularly for the convenience. However, we buy "economy" microwaves because of the use pattern. The one we had before the current one went about 10 years, then off to the recycler that comes to town 2-3x a year.

Popping Corn In A MWO

Hi Rich, I would not pop corn in any MWO that I cared about unless you have a spare magnetron and don't mind changing it as needed.

 

It is also so much faster to do pop corn in a pan on an electric range, if you time it right you can pop a gallon of PC in under 4 minutes and have just about every single kernel pop on a 6" 1500 element.

I would try

One of those art magic markers which come in so many shades of each colour as well as various black and whites. Or, finger nail polish.

When you find the shade which works, if it looks good enough, done. If the right shade but too easily rubbed off, then a slight bit of top coat (non-glossy clear finger nail polish) works for me.

As to the whole even cooking thing, these microwaves cooked very evenly.

As to the whole efficiency thing, we're splitting hairs.

As to the whole power thing, unless you go up to a commercial, two wave unit running at 2KW output power or more, you're not going to see a difference between 800 and higher which is worth the one or two extra seconds you save.

With the help of several kind people, here, we were able to fix an earlier RadarRange many years back. Worked great and the 750W output was quite adequate.
