Why on a microwave ready meals does it always say put on a plate?!
Answers: What difference does that make?
I've never bothered and i'm still alive and unpoisioned so i guess it must just be a guide its just like the guide of how to cook a pot noddle as if we really needed to know that you have to take the lid off before we fill with water o-0 these compaies think the general public are really stupid and we must be to eat this stuff in the first place!
saves making mess on table
Because the thing gets hot! The plate not so much.
Because they assume you're civilised.
It saves on having to use the microwave twice
Firstly to heat your food
Then to heat up a plate to keep your meal warm
Following their instructions leaves u with a nice warm plate to serve your food onto, keeping it hotter for longer

because the plastic trays they come in can get very hot n then become very unstable n the food could spill out easily n scald someone
because some people may assume that the turn-table inside the microwave will surfice as a plate... can be messy and dangerous serving up slop from that!
they have run out of banana leaf
Some of the containers release harmful toxins if heated by microwave
I read somewhere that having it raised up off the turntable helps it heat better, so a plate would raise it up a bit.
Just don't heat the food too hot on a plate that could break. Microwave won't break it, but too hot food could.
Because it might spill or splatter
Because the packaging is not microwave proof. DERR

he food gets hot the plate not so hot
To avoid you getting burnt by the heat of the meal package, the steam it can produce and any spillage. Also because sometimes the packaging gets softer with the heat from the food inside and bends, making it a hazard.
