"Designed by smart people with lots of letters behind their names" hahaha, this guy is great
If every sales guy was like this, I'd buy from them all the time.
Right?
Just bought a brand new Whirlpool microwave with a rack! I was so worried because the rack is metal.. YOUR VIDEO WAS WAY MORE HELPFUL THAN THE WHIRLPOOL WEBSITE!! THANK YOU!!!
This was really helpful, thank you. Always been wary of using the metal rack in the microwave. This dude has a good personality and camera presence. Thank you!
You rock Keith, this is exactly what we were looking for
Thank you. I was shocked why there was a metal shelf in the new microwave that came with the RV. I took it out and will use if needed. Thanks for your straight forward answer!
Thank you for doing this video. The guy installing said “just toss it”. I do like the idea you gave on reheating 2 plates. I see that as a plus. So thank you. PJ
Thank you for posting this video...
Just got a new Whirlpool microwave convection oven combo, and was confused very confused!!
I wasn't sure if the rack was meant to be used for the microwave function or for use with the convection part.
I'm glad to know I can use it with the microwave!! Because of your explanation, I won't leave it in all the time, and will ONLY use it for reheating multiple items or during the holidays... I had no idea that if the rack became unseated, it would cause arcing and possibly damage
my microwave!!!
Thank you again, you probably saved my oven!!
Thank you for this information. I found the manual for my microwave and all it said was to use for bi -level cooking. But nothing about what that means to the layman. I understand the concept of bi-level, but was totally in the dark about how to use. Now no fighting over the microwave at Thanksgiving.
Thank you soooo much for explaining that! I bought my microwave/convection/air fryer from Appliance Factory and couldn't be happier!
Thanks for the kind words and support!
Wow. Incredible that you gave the pros and cons of the shelf.
Thank you, your video was very, helpful.
Exactly the info I was looking for! Thank you.
Thank you! Very informative...I'm throwing my metal rack out...never used it, I'm not going to start now. Thanks again!
U got a kewl personality.. u should be on TV.. thank you so much for sharing.. u truly are very resourceful! :-)
Thank you! Very informative.
This was practical and useful.
Great info and good sense of humor
THANK YOU! Finally understand why is there a rack.... I have it storage away and it will be like that for good
Thank you very much for the information
Thank you! The manual did not go into this much detail.
So helpful thank you!
Knowledge is a good sales person.
Keith is the best number 1 fan! I prefer Panasonic microwave... My 13 years old mw still work fine!
Great tips!
Love this...was so curious, never used the rack didn't toss it but put on a shelf in cabinet ....still got the rack but a new microwave...😂
Thank you!!
useful and got to the point
The explanation is good, as far as it goes. The last two built in microwaves I have had have no turntable. They were both made by the same manufacturer, but in one, you can leave the metal rack in place as it has the ceramic clips/supports as shown in the video (ie not conductive) but in the other, you cannot leave the rack in as the rack supports are simply a "moulded" shape of the sides, so there is direct continuity. The instructions with both microwaves are quite clear - one says you can leave the rack, the other says "take it out." But with no rotating turntable, it is important to move the food about during cooking, or you will get hot and cold areas.
Thank you for the explanation. I won't be cooking with the microwave, so the rack will be donated to the Goodwill. Somebody might need a new rack for something.
My Samsung one comes with a round one with legs that attach to the turn table, thus both the glass bottom & the rack rotate.
I was wondering what that one was for mine came with both types of racks lol
I love honest salesmen like this guy. Its very refreshing to know that people like him still exist in this new kind of bloodthirsty gangster capitalist world. I would definitely buy a product from this dude.
So you would engage in capitalism? 😂 Why, comrade, why?!?!
Thx
Thank you for the explanation. What model microwave oven is this?
Yeah, I wanted to see if my popcorn bag could fit, because I got sick of removing the tray. Got that sparking. Explained by a $75 (after house warranty) service call later...
Don't get rid of it. Just store it, just incase someday you might want to use it. Don't throw it away.
I just got a new microwave that has one. Just wanted to know about it before I have it installed..
Thanks for info I could use metal rack But" other users might not do to well,I will remove rack to save microwave from blowing up LOL.
I use the rack all the time for the convection part. I thought I had to take it out when it was not being used for baking or roasting. OMG We cook in our microwave. There are tons of recipes. So we do cook in the microwave. I will now leave the rack. Thanks!!
Hey Tracy, are you sure that you can use the rack with the convection setting? My whirlpool manual claims that I can't use the rack with convection. Also, what do you cook in your microwave?
@@BigBrownTruck22 Hi! Yes I have a Kitchen Aid microwave convection oven. I use the rack for baking. It is great. I haven't left it in for the microwave part, but i can see how it is safe since it is on plastic feet. I am assuming it is safe because the rack doesn't touch anything and the whole inside of the oven is metal. Microwaves have come a long way. My husband only cooks with the microwave part. He uses paper plates but there are microwave safe dishes out there too. He will use to paper plates to make scrambled eggs. he sprays one plate, added the seasonings, a little butter, then the eggs, either liquid or shell but you must scramble them before you add them to the plate, he microwaves them for 3 mins then checks if they are liquidy when you move the plate then he cooks 3 more mins. This is with a large paper plate not the medium size. He does cook a lot of things in there. We buy sleeves of frozen raw hamburger patties too. You can cook them in the microwave too. I told him to write a book but I am sure there are others who already wrote a book on cooking in the microwave. The key is to use two paper plates. I am sure with the proper microwave safe dishes you can do it too. There are UA-cam videos on baking a cake in there too. You can boil noodles in there too. We have three microwaves. All three have convection settings. I love the Alexa one it is a convection with air fryer and microwave that we can tell Alexa to cook at whatever temp for however long. You can tell is to microwave for X minutes too. She sends messages to the phone when preheating is done or the food is done. I use it all the time. The third one is GE and can broil and air fry too. I haven't tried the broil yet, but I plan to broil a steak. Our traditional oven is never used. The Kitchen Aid is large enough for everything I cook. I plan to get rid of the traditional range oven and replace it with a possibly radiant cooktop. No more ranges.
@@tracygarner5912 thank you! I'll try out the convection setting soon. I want to bake potatoes with it mainly
I'm shopping for a new microwave after 15-20 years, and keep wondering how the heck you are going to use the rack. Thanks for making me a better informed buyer, and now I can warn my kids if we leave the rack in.
Do you have a demo on how to use a Kitchenaid Model KEMS-308 SSS 04..not sure how to use the convection oven in the microwave.
Any insight if their is consequences if the chrome(?) plating on the rack is flaking off? Thank you.
I have a microwave with a rack.. I do use it from time to time.. sometimes if I am storing bread and chips and stuff I use the rack to separate it to keep stuff off the counter. I have a question for you.. Mine is a GE Space Maker model JVM1642AB and on the rack it has clips.. Slowly they have been popping off one by one. The other day.. My rack was in as it should be but a fire started at one of rack holders in the back.. My guess is the clips on mine are suppose to keep the space between the rack and the wall to avoid contact to the side of the microwave. Why doesn't the one in your video have the clips? Do I HAVE to have them on mine? They are pretty hard to find.. Just thought Id ask.

Can you tell me- we have a Zanussi microwave oven combi- do I leave the metal shelf supports IN whilst I’m microwaving only?
Can you please show how to use the convection oven part of the microwave? Do we still use the glass turntable while using the convection part? Thanks.
Yes, place the round tray on top of the glass turntable and then the food on top of the tray (not shown in this video). The tray will turn with the turntable.
Got one with ours. Never used it.
But could you say put food wrapped in metal foil on the metal rack as long as it only touched the rack, would that work?
Hi my microwave lights of and looks like dead what should I do
It’s whirlpool
got it, get rid of the rack thanks!
The shelf stinks. I've had two microwaves with them, and either the top or the bottom entre is boiling lava hot, and the other cold. Now I have a microwave with an actual grill on the top.
This guy microwaves
I thought u can’t have metal in a microwave
He says EVERYONE get a metal rack in their microwave they just throw it out UMMM EXCUSE ME BUT... I have bought 3 new microwaves and NEVER have I EVER got one with a metal rack in it!
