Your plate isn't microwave safe

My guess would be the plate has absorbed moisture so now has an ability to absorb microwaves.

Nitpick:

~~absorb~~ be excited by

Waiter: Careful, the plates reaaally excited.

This happens most notably when I reheat soup in a ceramic bowl. I suppose the paint isn't safe then?

To test if a bowl or plate is microwave safe, put a glass of water and the object under test into the microwave and run for a minute. The bowl/plate should be cold. If it's warmed up, it is not microwave safe.

I do think it has something to go with the glaze they use, but it's been a minute since I researched it.
