Yes, a microwave can disinfect plates, but it requires specific conditions. Microwaving plates for a sufficient time can kill some germs and bacteria, especially if they contain a small amount of water, which generates steam. However, it may not be effective against all pathogens, and some materials, like plastics, can release harmful chemicals when heated. For thorough disinfection, it's better to use a dishwasher with a sanitizing cycle or wash plates with hot, soapy water.
