Abstract: A microwave oven turntable having a load-responsive mechanism for self-activating the turntable upon the placement of foodstuff thereon. The turntable includes a base assembly having a planar bottom and upwardly extending sides to form a base interior in which a drive shaft is rotatably driven by a coil spring.
