Once materials get hot enough to turn to carbon only exacerbates the problem. Microwave ovens are designed to focus most of the energy to the center of the lower area of the cavity. This is so popcorn can pop faster. I place my plate of microwaveable food (except popcorn) on a clean dry bowl to raise the food off the lower center area meant for popcorn. Elevating the plate will also eliminate the problem of over cooking areas that get burnt, dry, or rubbery while other areas are still cold.

Seeing the scorch marks from the aluminum foil tests made me laugh.

Lesson to be learned ... Don't let idiots use microwave ovens ... thanks for proving it to us🙄

[@user-sy4xg1zz8r]

having food on the plate before you microwave is prevents the plate itself from reaching such high temp;....

[@SamOaks]

only uncoated paper plates should be microwave safe. Other paper plates have a plastic coating.
