Er - you know a magnetron doesn’t actually spin, right?

  As a first approximation of referring to magnetic fields and their flux and inertia, "spins" is still a useful and common word for that. But yes, not necessarily the best technically correct word.

  Ackshully that's not strictly true. Some (very) old models did not rotate the food, but instead rotated the microwave emitter in the top of the cavity.
