Abstract

A stirring device is adaptable for use in microwave ovens with turntables. The stirring device includes a gear train assembly that increases the normal rate of revolution of a microwave turntable by several fold. A driving head coupler is connected to a driving end of the gear train assembly and engages a turntable driving head, so that rotation of the driving head during use of the microwave oven causes rotation of the driving head coupler. A magnetic stirring actuator is connected to a driven end of the gear train assembly for rotation therewith. A magnetic stirring device is positioned in a container along with the contents to be heated and stirred. During use of the microwave oven, the turntable driving head rotates at a first rate of revolution and thereby causes a corresponding rotation of the actuator at a second rate of revolution greater than the first rate to thereby simultaneously heat and stir the contents situated in the container at the second rate of revolution. The driving head coupler is adaptable for use with microwave ovens having different sizes of driving heads.
