No, it is not an oceanic plate. It is a continental plate but with oceanic crust. Crust is different from plate. A plate is made up of many crust. The crust under the ocean is oceanic crust, while the crust where continent is found is called continental crust. Most of the plates are made up off both continental and oceanic crust. If a plate has continental crusts, then it is a continental plate. Only if a plate is all made up of oceanic crusts, meaning that there is no land on it, then the plate is called oceanic plate. In the world, the major oceanic plates include Pacific Plate, Nazca Plate, Cocos Plate and Philippines Plate. Other are all continental plate.

Why does the smaller plate heat faster than the big plate on the stove?
This is due to surface area, size/volume and compactment. The smaller plate heats faster because it has a lowwer volume and size than the big plate, which makes it posses a smaller surface area and also in a smaller compactment. This allows heat to flow through the smaller plate and covering its entire mass in a shorter time than it does in the big plate, making the smaller plate heat up faster and sooner.
