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 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.

        I need to delete this thread in the event my spouse sees it and gets any ideas.
