Abstract
A shelf structure is provided for use with a turntable in a microwave oven. The shelf structure includes a food-supporting platform and a base which rests on the table of the turntable. A first food product is placed on the turntable, and a second food product is placed on the platform above the first. When microwave energy is introduced toward the top of the oven cavity, the food product on the platform is exposed to more of the energy than is the food product on the turntable, and therefore tends to cook at a faster rate.
