Default Slow microwave ovens

I had a Phillips like that, it made no difference but the problem is one of
standing waves inside the cooking cavity, and hot and cold spots due to
those.

They do. Some microwaves had rotating wave guides hidden above the cooking
chamber in an attempt to even things out. Haven't looked to see if they
still do
or just rely on the turntable, which doesn't work all that well. Suspect
the
density consistency and evenness of the water content of the item being
cooked
is the reason.
