When you cook food in a microwave oven why doesn't the plate get cooked?

Plates are usually either ceramic or glass. Both materials are transparent to the microwave radiation in a microwave oven. The electromagnetic energy goes right through the plates like they weren't there. It is the food that heats the plate as that food is being heated. Remember that the microwave radiation is "tuned" to work on the hydrogen-oxygen bonds in water. It gives them "energy" and heats them up. There are some plates that will actually get a bit hot directly from the microwave energy, but that depends on the composition of the plate.

How do you cook an already cooked human?
If you are trying to cook an already cooked human, you must be trying to reheat it. Therefore, putting the already cooked human in the oven or microwave would be the best thing to do. Depending on how well-done you want the human to be, you should preheat the oven to 350 *F. If you are using the microwave you should set the microwave power to 10. After that, cook the human for 10-15 minutes before removing form heat to let cool. That is the best way to cook an already cooked human.
