In restaurants serving "à l'assiette", wich means that your dish is presented already served on a plate, it's very important for the plates to be hot, otherwise dishes arrive cold and it's the customer that (rightly) becomes heated.
At home it's worth doing the same thing: you are sure to serve hot dishes to your guests, and as a hot plate can wait longer than a cold one, it can sometimes help to avoid panic in the kitchen at serving time.
Put plates in the oven at 140° to 194°F (60°C to 90°C) for about 15 minutes.
Caution: Beyond 176°F (80°C) you can burn yourself by touching plates which are too hot.
Stage 2 - 2 min.
In microwave oven:
Put plates in microwave oven for 2 minutes at max. power, with a cup or glass of water on top (you should never switch on your microwave without something with water in, or it can be damaged).
Stage 3 - 5 min.
In hot water:
Put your plates in sink and add water as hot as possible.
