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.
They use a salamander. (A broiler.) A sort of oven with the heating elements on the top of the chamber.

No, they use plate warmers.
My kitchen does not have enough room to accommodate something of that magnitude. Phooey.
Do you have an oven?
I do, and I’m learning from this thread that that may be my solution.
Now to learn about what makes a plate oven-safe, though I’m sure it’s fine at the lowest temperature.
Assuming the plates are ceramic, there should be zero issue. Same with glass.
I wouldn’t put plastic, melamine, or paper in the oven simply due to the possible disastrous fallout were the temperature somehow set too high by accident.
I appreciate your clarifying what shouldn’t be put in the oven given the context of the community we’re in.
Plus I may have, at some point in my life, put a plastic (electric) kettle on a burner when my parents asked me to put the kettle on.
…I should probably be dead by now.
As a danger to yourself and others, you should put up a sign that says “Beware of Doug.”
I need to delete this thread in the event my spouse sees it and gets any ideas.
I’m texting them right now
Maybe a heat lamp?
I need that for my
weedvitamin d deficiency, and my cats hogs it.
