Yes and no. It cook evenly food needs rotated, a turntable will eliminate the need of rotating 1/2 way through the cooking. I've had both, and I vastly prefer the one with turntable. A major problem with microwaved food is heating unevenly. A turntable virtually eliminates the problem. Also- put a saucer in your microwave, and put the plate or microwave dish on top of it. It will heat more quickly, and more evenly, because the waves can enter the food from the bottom as well as top & sides.

It will still heat the food. You may want to stop halfway through the cooking and rotate the food 90 degrees.

Why does a microwave oven turntable rotate in either direction?

The turntable in a microwave oven is driven by an alternating current motor which may start in either direction at random and continues to travel in that direction until stopping. The reason for using a turntable in a microwave oven is that the microwave energy is not evenly distributed across the oven. The turntable allows the food to receive an equal amount of energy by turning across the uneven microwave field. The microwave energy is turned to heat within the food. It actually does not matter in which direction the turntable rotates in order to evenly cook the food.

All microwave ovens have turn table. The heating in microwave takes place due to radiations and for getting uniform heating turn table is necessary. The fan helps in uniform distribution of heat which means the oven with fan for air convection will give better results.
