i recently learned you’re not supposed to run a microwave with nothing in it/it can fry itself broken.

but i want to heat up a plate to help keep the pancakes i put on it warm like they do in diners. putting just a plate in my microwave causes it to start freaking out 'cause i guess there’s not enough stuff in there to absorb the energy(? this is what google tells me).

are the diners just putting the plates on a burner on low? that feels wrong.

    I just put them in, set it to 150 (lowest it will go), and set the timer for like 3 minutes. At that low of a temp, it really doesn’t take long to warm the plates. If you’re really in a hurry, you could move the top rack as high as it will go, put the plate there, and set it to broil for 1-2 minutes.
