The turntable in my microwave like split in half while making popcorn. How could that happen?

GuruMicrowave popcorn gets VERY hot while cooking.
Even though the turntable is made of temepred glass, intense heat applied in the same spot over and over can weaken the molecular structure of the glass.
After so many expansions and contractions, it will crack because fatigue will cause some molecules to expand less than others, creating stress.
This is yet another reason I recommend to my customers that they place the food off-center on the tray - not in the center.
The oven also heats better when the food is off-center because the food is more thoroughly exposed to the microwave energy.
Until you get a new tray, the photo below can help you.
