Microwave Problems

I need help with Microwave Problems!?

My microwave plate (the glass plate where the food goes) broke. Can I still use the microwave without the plate, should I put like a dinner plate in there, or should I put like a paper towel or something? Thanks! I called the Manufacturer and ordered a replacement part for $40. Until it gets here I will use a large dinner plate and a paper towel. Thanks again!

1. Use a paper Plate BUT you may have to change it from time to time (Burns a little)
2. You need to get a replacement for the glass plate. If you look on the manufacturer's website you should be able to find one as a spare part.
3. Did the plate rotate? Then whatever you place on it- there's a good chance that you'll break the rotating part/motor too. If you have a flat bottom rimmed plate like a glass pie plate- you could put that in there upside down- that way, you have a flat surface and the rotating parts are not touched and can move freely. You can either put your food directly on the pie plate or use a plate, white paper towel, paper plate. Do call the manufacturer and ask about the replacement part- it may not be that expensive and it's better for the food to rotate while it's cooking.
4. The glass plate is not essential. Use a dinner plate.
