Put a damp paper towel (squeeze the water out) over whatever you are heating up.

Microwaves heat up water molecules so by doing this the “micro waves” hit the towel first and you get a better and uniform heat. So your plate won’t be as hot.

Just leave a hole in the centre, and it heats the food evenly, Honestly, do people still not know how to use a microwave properly

Not exactly how microwaves work.

Microwaves excite molecules, especially things that are the same size as the wavelength (1mm-1m depending on the frequency), i would guess that the plate being bigger than the food and full of impurities, it's molecules absorb more waves/energy.

Or it's just that that person's microwave has a lot of standing waves at the very bottom of the pedestal.

A fun thing to look into: Electrobooms microwave standing wave video and the one where they create plasma in grapes (grapes that are the same diameter as the wavelength)

I imagine because the plate is thinner than the food so it takes less to heat it up because the heat has less atoms to travel through
