Some time back, the glass plate in the micro got broke.

No way to repair, so since I've used a plastic plate.

The plastic plate stands up well to the microwaving process & also when the grill is used.

The only snag being that the original glass plate had mouldings on the bottom to engage with the 3 prong rotating doofer.

My first attempt to make something suitable was to drill 3 small holes equidistant in a triagular formation, then placed short bits of wooden skewer through to catch on the doofer prongs.

Ok for a while, 'cept the bits've wood couldn't be fixed securely & the drilled holes would cause the plate to develop cracks after a few weeks use.

I now use 3 double-side tape pads on the plate, works a treat!

Suggestions for the OP's prob, string, wood [maybe a thin skewer or cocktail stick as replacement wheel axle] or plastic rawlplug, carved to fit
