Can you put metal in new microwaves?

However, there’s still one myth that many of us cling onto, and that’s the notion that metal can’t be used in a microwave. Forget the myth Metal is safe to use in a microwave! Not only is it safe to use, metal can also enhance your cooking experience when microwaving your favourite dishes.

The electrons in metal are mobilethey can move freely among atomsand that’s where microwave problems start. A thin metal like aluminum foil doesn’t have room for all the wiggling, roving electrons.

Stainless steel travel mugs/bottles Many people microwave travel mugs not realizing they’re made of stainless steel — which does not belong in the microwave. The stainless steel will not only block the heat from warming whatever’s in your mug, but nuking it can also damage your microwave.

You can use materials like aluminum foil safely in small quantities as long as your owner’s manual gives the blessing. Make sure the foil is new and smooth, not crumpled.

The metal rack that comes inside of new microwaves can be safely used for cooking multiple items at once (e.g. one on the rack, and one on the spinning tray). The metal grilling rack is also useful for more evenly cooking and defrosting because it heats the food from all angles.

Do not cover crumb tray or any part of the oven with metal foil. This will cause overheating of the oven.
