Do you warm plates in the microwave?

Always put a cup of water on top of plates or your Microwave could be damaged. Microwaves should always have something ‘wet’ in them when switched on.

I put hot water on my plate, to warm it. If I had several plates to warm I'd put them in hot water in a basin.

I bought from Lakeland a pack of 3 special rubber mats that I put between the plates and heat on high for 1 minute. All sorted.

and expect prompt attendance when I call
Can I send DH round to yours please?
He needs sharpening up.
(Although he did cook tonight)

I put plates in the top oven if the main oven to on but if it’s not on I don’t bother, never in the microwave.

I always use the microwave to warm plates. Neither plates nor microwave seem to have come to any harm (so far!)

I always warm my plates in the microwave if the oven isn't on, convection at 150°.
My DS hasn't got a convection microwave but has always uses it to warm her plates.

I don't like any shillyshallying about or extra work

Same here, MissAdventure.

I never warm plates.
I serve food piping hot and expect prompt attendance when I call.
Then we gobble it down quickly because it's hot, so no need for warm plates.

I put a splash of water on a plate before warming it in the microwave it. I started doing this after cracking one or two.

I don't think you would have damaged your microwave. It's the plates that suffer

I thought you always had to have food or liquid in a microwave. If I warm plates in mine, I put a mug of water on top.

I'd never warmed plates in the microwave but a friend said she always did that.
I do now occasionally but always run them under the tap first so they are wet, then finish off drying with a tea towel.

I ALWAYS warm plates in microwave ( if the oven isnt already on ) and until i read your thread, i never heard nor read this before.
