Some clay dishes get hot in the microwave because they contain minerals that absorb microwave radiation and convert it into heat. This can cause the dish to become hot to the touch when heated in the microwave.

Can using melamine dishes damage a microwave oven?

In most cases no, the microwave is more likely to damage the melamine dishes. If you got real careless though and let melamine get hot enough to ignite something then it could damage the microwave. The main problem with melamine in a microwave is it can easily get hot enough to burn you, causing you to drop a hot dish of hot food. I used melamine frequently in my microwave, but only for reheating cold refrigerated leftovers. And then I always made sure the dish was completely full, so that the food would be heated by the melamine as well as partially shielding the melamine. Also I always checked it closely, usually breaking the cook time into 3 or 4 shorter intervals. Hot food on a warm melamine plate stayed hot much longer than food on a paper plate. I don't recommend this however, get careless at all and you will crack and char your melamine dishes.
