Maybe your hands are cold and you want something warm? I don't really see a time when you would want to heat plates up on their own...

I feel like there are more effective ways to burn down your house and/or kill your pets.

This actually doesn't sound bad on paper
If the plate is already warm/hot, when you put food on it and reheat it all that disgusting atrocity that is microwave condensation will be vaporized again >;}
of course I never tried it so tell us what would really happen op :]

you can't microwave nothing, otherwise you'll get a fire. if you put a plate in microwave it will get hot, and it could also either blow up or ignite into flames

Maybe you just want two plates so you put it in the microwave and let it split in two :)

I'm pretty sure we all learned in school about the Electromagnetic Spectrum, right? Microwaves give off heat that kills bacteria and crap on plates. That's why you'd heat it up, to kill all the bacteria.

lol Heating empty plates in microwaves? Never heard of it. Maybe that do thing like that are having assumption that heating empty plates in microwaves may disinfect it.

Sorry, nevermind. Forget what I said before. Those are just baseless opinion.

I rarely even use a microwave these days.

If I lived by myself, I wouldn't even bother getting a microwave. They waste more electricity displaying the time than they do cooking food.

If your hands get cold often like mine do, maybe you would do it just to have something warm to rest them on? I mean, running them under hot water works just fine, but there isn't anything wrong with trying to be a bit creative from time to time.
I don't know.
