It all depends on the construction.
Most plates made of pottery are OK as long as they do not have design containing metal. Some decorated plates have a gold stripe around the edge or in the design, avoid these. It is best to use cheap, white or plain plates.
Plastic plates are OK.

Why does a microwave oven turntable rotate in either direction?
The turntable in a microwave oven is driven by an alternating current motor which may start in either direction at random and continues to travel in that direction until stopping. The reason for using a turntable in a microwave oven is that the microwave energy is not evenly distributed across the oven. The turntable allows the food to receive an equal amount of energy by turning across the uneven microwave field. The microwave energy is turned to heat within the food. It actually does not matter in which direction the turntable rotates in order to evenly cook the food.
Why does your microwave oven go on whenever door is opened?
There is a switch in the door, when the switch is activated the light comes on, not the microwave itself. Additionally the switch actually prevents the microwave from activating (while the door is open).
Does a microwave oven make you dumber?
No, It doesnt make you dumber, it is used, incases if you need to cook a meal in a hurry.
What oven operates on short radio waves?
The common, ubiquitous microwave oven operates in the "ISM" radio band of 2.45-2.5 GHz, corresponding to a wavelength of something like 12 centimeters. You could use somewhat longer or shorter wavelengths to cook food, but this is the frequency band dedicated to that service. The 2.5 GHz band was the desirable choice, because it is a wavelength efficiently absorbed by the moisture in the food. The shape and size of the 'cavity' in the microwave oven ... the box where you put the food to be cooked ... is closely related to the wavelength of the RF energy used, in order to assure that the RF energy stays in the box and gets absorbed into the food, and is not reflected back into the device that generates it.
Can microwaves leak out of a microwave oven?
Yes, microwaves can leak out of a microwave oven. The microwaves are directed into the cavity (the cooking space) of the oven, but they can leak around the seal provided by the door. The door seal is the most probable and common place for leaks to appear. (Most of the rest of the cavity construction does not lend itself to "breakdown" and microwave leakage.) It's not a good idea to slam the door of a microwave oven shut. Shut it gently. And never lean on the door, not when it's shut, and never when it's open. You and the other users of the appliance have control over how it is treated. If you have doubts about the integrity of the door of your oven, call a repair center in your area. Ask about checking for leaks, and they'll give you the scoop. It is cheaper to take a unit in for a leakage check than to have someone come out. Additionally, the meter used by the professional to do this costs a ton of money and has to be calibrated at least annually. (That's why there's a fee associated with the check.) If you (and others) use your oven per the manufacturer's instructions and take care of it, leaking microwaves should not be an issue. But anything that damages the door may affect its seal, and a check is in order.
What kind of materials can you put in the microwave oven?
plate
does this have a plate inside?
Yes, this Whirlpool microwave oven does in fact have a plate inside of it.
Why you can't put metal plate in the microwave oven?
Metal plates in the microwave can cause sparks, potentially damaging the appliance or starting a fire. Metal reflects microwaves, causing them to bounce around the walls of the oven and creating electrical currents on the metal plate. It is safer to use microwave-safe materials such as glass or ceramic.
Do you put a hot cross bun in a oven or the microwave?
microwave
When you turn on my microwave oven there is arcing and sparks?
There is some kind of metal in the microwave. Maybe you have a gold edge around your plate or a metal twist tie. You can not put metal in the microwave (one metal spoon or fork will be okay.)
Is it safe to put a plastic plate in the microwave?
It is generally safe to put a microwave-safe plastic plate in the microwave, but it's important to check if the plate is labeled as microwave-safe to avoid any potential risks.
Can you put microwave popcorn in the oven for a different cooking method?
No, it is not recommended to put microwave popcorn in the oven as it is specifically designed for microwave cooking. Using the oven may result in uneven cooking and potentially cause a fire hazard.
What can you reheat in a microwave that you cannot in an oven?
You can heat any food in an over that you would in a microwave, you'll just have to put it in an ovensafe container. For example, you can't put plastic in the oven but it works in a microwave.
Can you put a ceramic plate in the oven for baking?
Yes, you can put a ceramic plate in the oven for baking as long as it is oven-safe and can withstand the heat.
What food can't you put in a microwave oven?
salad can not be cooked in the microwave.
Can put something in the oven if its already microwave safe?
No, just because it's microwave safe does not mean it's oven safe. The thermal mechanisms involved in microwave radiation and convective heat are completely different. Many plastics are microwave safe, but you should never put plastic in the oven.
What happens when you heat food on a glass plate?
If you put a fire under a glass plate or even put a glass plate in the oven it will heat up and break. Depending what is on the top of that plate it will more than likely catch on fire. If you're referring to the microwave then the food will get nice and hot.
