It's not that it's difficult to turn pan/bowl/dish yourself,
it's that it's inconvenient to have to keep stopping the oven
and turning it and you don't get the same quality of even
heating that you get when it turns automatically. At least
that is my experience.

And yes, I'm that lazy. Don't know about others. ;-)
