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.

When certain plates are placed in the microwave, they can get hot because they are made of materials that absorb microwave radiation and convert it into heat. This can happen with plates that contain metals or certain types of ceramics that are not microwave-safe.
Some possible dangers of microwaves include the risk of burns from hot surfaces and liquids, exposure to high levels of electromagnetic radiation if the oven is damaged or not sealed properly, and potential leakage of harmful chemicals from certain types of plastic containers when heated in a microwave. It is important to use microwave-safe dishes and follow safety guidelines to minimize these risks.
Yes, it is normal for the inside walls of a microwave to get hot during operation. This is because the microwave radiation heats up the food and the container, which then transfers heat to the walls of the microwave.
When food is heated in the microwave, the microwaves cause the water molecules in the food to vibrate and generate heat. This heat is then transferred to the plate, causing it to get hot as well.
A microwave dinner or a heated blanket would remain hot even when it's cold outside.
I have some ironstone dishes which say on the bottom of the 10" plates that they can be put in the microwave. On the other hand, they have developed crazing. There are fine cracks under the glaze.
Microwave baking can be very successful, but recipes and baking dishes need to be appropriate for microwave use. Recipes that depend on a crisp crust created by a dry hot baking in a conventional oven are not appropriate. I think so !
Good answer below. SOME glass and ceramics may not be microwave safe because of metals mixed in with the material itself. These can become hot to the touch when microwaved. An example would be glass that has a pale blue-green tint- caused by iron mixed in with the molten glass.

Some popular dishes that are traditionally served with Lebanese hot sauce include falafel, shawarma, kebabs, and grilled meats.
Some Chinese dishes are spicy (anything with Szechwan in the title is usually quite hot) . Most dishes are just "aromatic".
Hot stones, hot sand and soil, leaves, clay, bark dishes, large sea-shells, long sticks, etc. Sometimes they put food directly on the embers of their campfires, just as some modern campers do.
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.
when you wash your dishes, with hot water and soap, and rinse them off in hot water,
Microwave ovens heat by passing specific frequency micro-waves though food. Only certain molecules, fat and water, are affected by this, as there is no water or fat in a plate so this will only get warmed though contact with the heated food...
A microwave that opens from the top can be more convenient to use as it allows for easier access to the food inside without having to reach down. This design can also save counter space and prevent spills when removing hot dishes.
When serving hot food and handling hot cookware and dishware, you should wear cooking mits to protect your hands from burns. Ladle food carefully to avoid spilling and possible burning yourself or others and carry the dishes of hot food carefully.
