Can I put metal in the microwave?

No. Only metal items supplied with the microwave, such as a wire rack, can be placed in a microwave.

Only metal items supplied with the microwave, such as a wire rack, can be placed in a microwave. Unlike plastics and ceramics, metals do not absorb microwaves which can create sparks and cause your microwave to set on fire.
