To avoid arguing in vain about which plate can be used to heat up pizza in the microwave and which one is better to put aside, we suggest you familiarize yourself with the cheat sheet, which contains all the wisdom on this topic.

So, let's start with glassware, which has many strengths.

So, it does not absorb foreign odors, is easy to clean and is not stained by dyes present in products. We almost forgot another plus - it can be put in the microwave.

However, there are still some nuances: before closing the microwave door and pressing the button, make sure that there is no metallic paint or openwork patterns on the plate along the edges.

In addition, you will have to worry about checking the weight of the plate. This requirement is related to the fact that today's "craftsmen" have learned to produce dishes from a fusible material that looks very much like glass.

As you may have understood, such material is prohibited from being inside a microwave oven.

Next in line are ceramic items. Once in the microwave, they become very hot, which again makes them unsuitable for use in heating up lunch or dinner.

In addition, such dishes often have gold edgings, and since it is unknown what paint the plates were decorated with, we do not recommend taking risks and putting them in the microwave.
