Microwave hack

Cut a pool toy float tube to size and gently wedge it in microwave to keep glass tray secure when towing. May not need one but keeping everything in your rig from bouncing around when hitting dips in the road always helps!

We usually fill our MW with bread and buns.

This is a great idea for the ride back home.

Clever. We normally wrap ours in a dish towel and turn the tray upside down; this should work better. Thanks.

I learned about this hack two years ago on another forum. It's been working great for thousands of miles.

My microwave is installed 90° clockwise rotation from your photo. My plate doesn’t fall out.

Edit - if I’m the only one seeing the OP’s photo rotated, then this attempt at a joke is going to look really stupid.
