AnswerYes. Everything solid has a temperature which will make it melt. Ice starts to melt into water when it gets past 32 degrees Fahrenheit, 0 degrees Centigrade.Candles melt at about 125 degrees F, 55 degrees C.

Above that temperature it will harden until it is solid.

Is wax paper better than plastic wrap in a microwave?

I would advice against using Wax paper in a microwave. The wax would easily melt when heated up by the waves. Wax would blend in with the food and then you eat it. Not sure if eating wax is harmful in any way, but I imagine there being certain additives to it like anti fungal chemicals. Probably not very harmful in small quantities but still.. Plastic wrap, if choosing the right type, does not give off chemicals to the food.

if you want it to melt then yes, but otherwise no No it will melt. --- There are special kinds of plastic wrap that can be used in a microwave.
