this out???

Things moving in a microwave oven is desired, that's why some have a
turntable.

If it's to rough, don't use it.

Use a small microwave.

If you are routinely going to use the microwave in heavy seas,
obviously your first task is to secure the microwave itself. After
that, wedge some styrofoam around whatever it is you're heating up.
(You can cut up some of the "take out" containers from a teriyaki
joint).

Use some aluminum foil and build a little base for whatever you are
planning of microwaving. Kind of pad the sides and let 'er rip.

I have been told that foil in a microwave is a bad thing.

Depends on your point of view.

The light show is pretty cool. :)

Interesting! Do you do that or is it only a suggestion? I thought you'd get
electrical arching if you insert something metallic of the wrong size into
a microwave...

Well, that's true enough.

But hell, think of the light show!!!

Sorry - I was bored. :)

This got me to read up on metal in microwaves. My (combi-) microwave is
actually fitted with a metal grate also used for grilling and in the
instructions they ADVISE putting a metal spoon in any glass of liquid you
want to microwave to avoid superheating.
It turns out you actually gave some sort of useable answer - in spite of
yourself :-)

I just have to get some solid tin foil and attach it to my grilling grate,
which is not very difficult.

I'd try a couple socks filled with sand or styrofoam pellets. I'd not try
the foil, but hey, if the tv doesn't work and you're bored, the light show,
as Tom says, may be pretty good.
