Can this be placed directly on top of, and in contact with, food on a plate. Thank you.

yes. Food that sticks, like cheese, is very easily washed off. And the screen dries in minutes.

Yes, it's "safe" to have it touching the food. But, it gets messy, even on top of a bowl, not touching the food. So, in direct contact with something wet like gravy or melting cheese, it will be even more difficult to clean. I think I commented in my review that a damp paper towel works better.

It comes in contact with the food I am warming and haven't had any problems. It cleans with a quick rinse, rarely I will soak it a minute if it got extra dirty with gravy or something similar. Shake out the wet cloth and it dries in minutes.

I don't see why not. I use it over bowls (soup, chilli, beans and the like) that lift the regular round plastic microwave covers causing them to sort of melt and become distorted. My guess is that if it was actually on the food it would sort of splatted right through it.

Do it all the time. Sometimes it gets sticky but it washes easily and dries quickly. Best space saver ever.

I use a salad plate to my corelle dishes. Works fine. I have even used a paper plate.

Yes, you can place just about anything on the top. The only thing the heat might affect is anything placed directly in front of it, otherwise there is no real change in temperature to the wooden surface.

You absolutely can microwave the glass. I do not microwave plastic, for health concerns, if it will touch food. You can set it on top as a splatter guard, but I usually go for a glass plate, if my dish does not have a glass lid, as this one does. If you microwave a plastic lid that has a tight fit, you risk warping as well, hope this helps:)

Yes it can but my review on this was TERRIBLE. The glass finish cracked after one use. I did not see this & used it again & the glass was all through my food. It is a piece of garbage in my opinion.

If you mean you want to attach it to a post on the botton of the feeder then I would say no. You fill it from the top but the bottom is completely removable for cleaning the feeder out. You could clean it from the top but the food gets moldy and stuck around that bottom piece.

Yes, you can hold the plate by the outside edges, but you do not want to hold the plate directly in the center on the bottom while hot. The center of the plate gets very hot.

No. The food can still go off,but I believe the purpose of the silicone is more for it not sliding around as other placemats do. Also those auctions bowls and plates work wonderful on this. I just got a second one for the Grandkids at my house.

Yes! You totally could. I just checked for you. You can't see in the display picture but the bottom of it has slats and the way they are made allowed the plate to rest beautifully. It's actually bigger than a regular size plate. You could totally fit a big platter and when I tried it the plate wasn't moving around either...it seems quite secure

Yes, just don't drag it across the top. You have to lift it to move it so it doesn't scratch the cooktop.

yes, that's what adds to its functionality. leave on top of oven, and then use as a hotplate later. i really like this product.

Not meant to. Never tried though. By the looks of it you could but it would be hard to get back on. Legs lay flat underneath for storing. I have used in oven as roasting tray on top of pan.

I have never tried that but I see no reason why you couldn't. I have fried bacon and eggs on it, did fine. Hope this helps. I love mine.

Not sure, what are you trying to put on it? A microwave might be able to sit on top.

I have not used it in this way but I think it would work. I have had good results keeping plates with food on them warm.

I am sure you can. I have only used it for a cake, but the knife didn't harm the plate or knife at all.

It is not recommended to place silicone cooking items in contact with direct heat. I would recommend still using a cookie sheet underneath.
