minus-squareKingofthezyx@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up18·11 months agoGuess what, that plate is not microwave safe.
minus-squarehakunawazo@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up7·11 months agoI use ceramic plates. But TIL pores or microscopic cracks could be the reason for hot plates. Or my microwave hates me.
minus-squareAngryCommieKender@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·11 months agoMy microwave safe corel plates still get hot where the food is. That could just be normal thermal convection.
minus-squareKingofthezyx@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up1·11 months agoYeah, that’s normal - ceramic and glass will get hot from the food or steam, just if the plate itself gets hot, it’s absorbing microwaves itself. I know because I used to have a mug that would get hot when microwaved, and one day it exploded.
