        I feel like your comment is a little sarcastic. I have actually had a non-microwave safe plastic plate (that predated the omnipresence of the microwave) actually explode. It boiled faster than the food heated and made pressure pockets inside.

      Fun fact, most modern microwaves are fine if you leave a metal fork or spoon on your plate, sometimes sharp tips of knives can arc a little but for the most part, modern microwaves are tuned to not turn into Terminator time-traveling if you leave a metal object on your plate.
