The dish was only electrified slightly when using paper.
  I don't feel like looking though box after box for something higher in 
the triboelectric series like wool or silk at the moment.What was your 
conclusion?
Cheers,
John

I was thinking about this after posting the message. For use in a
microwave oven, the glass can't be very lossy. Verify if it can
be electrized by friction. Even if too thick for a Wimshurst machine,
you could use it to build a friction machine.
I will take a look at the disk in my oven.
