Microwaves That Fit Large Dinner Plates

Large dinner plates and serving platters typically run 12 inches in diameter. Fitting one on a turntable without it catching the door or interior walls requires at least 13.5 inches of clearance. The models below all have turntables of 13.5 inches or more — your plates spin freely and heat evenly without adjusting by hand.

• ✓ A 13.5" turntable comfortably fits a 12" dinner plate or a standard serving platter — the most common "large plate" size.
• ✓ At this turntable size, the microwave interior is typically 1.5 cu ft or more — enough for most family portions.
• ✓ Check interior height as well: a tall serving bowl may not fit even if the turntable is wide enough.
• ✓ If you use a microwave-safe cover (splatter guard), factor in the cover's diameter — it's often wider than the dish itself.
