Abstract: An insert for an oven, such as a microwave oven, includes an adapting mechanism compatible with a drive mechanism of the oven, a food treatment element, and at least one drive shaft coupled between the food treatment element and the adapting mechanism. The insert converts rotational forces conventionally used for driving a turntable into forces for driving a food treatment element, such as a rotisserie element.

Abstract: Portable apparatus for use in a microwave oven removably supports and rotates a food treatment attachment simultaneously about first and second orthogonally related axes within the oven. A wheel of the apparatus frictionally engages the oven floor as the apparatus is rotated by the turntable drive mechanism of the oven. Rotation of the friction wheel imparts rotational movement to a food treatment attachment so that the attachment is simultaneously rotated about first and second orthogonally related axes.
