Why do microwaves be like this :angery:

    Fun fact: if you know your microwave frequency you can actually estimate the speed of light with a piece of cheese, with <20% error

        Any slice of cheese should do it. Just put it on the microwave for a while (you'll need a bit of testing, and then measure the distance between two points that haven't melted and use that as the wavelenght of the microwave. Won't work with a rotating plate though

    don’t put it in the middle of the microwave, set it to 1 side :marx-ok:

    Your bowl has metal in the glaze, which means it blocks and absorbs a certain part of the microwave energy. Try a glass/pyrex bowl or a ceramic bowl with a different colored glaze

      This is the correct answer. If the plate/bowl is hot and food is still cold, then the plate/bowl are not intended for use in the microwave.

      It was actually a plastic bowl oddly. With a microwave safe stamp on the bottom.

        Generally yeah, just make one a lil damp and drape it over the bowl beforehand and it'll help. Depends a bit on the food/bowl/microwave in question. But if your bowls are super duper hot in under a minute they aren't really meant to be in the microwave and they are basically stealing all the warmth your food could be getting

      Need one of those ramen cooking plastic bowls, which yeah shouldn't heat up plastic, but they seem made of a durable plastic and it results in cool bowl, hot soup.

    Microwave for a shorter amount of time, take it out and stir the soup a bit, then microwave again. Continue until you have hot soup.

    Libs owned? Sorry for bit I don't really like microwaves for heating liquids too.

    Isn't the microwave one of the things being hampered by patent trolls (people who hold a patent and sue anybody who tries to do anything with any similar enough idea, instead of doing anything with it themselves)? I seem to remember that being an example in some documentary or story on the subject.

    Try putting a lid on the bowl (but leave a crack to avoid explosive decompression)
