Not to be used Metal in any form should not be used in the microwave unless the manufacturer of your oven states otherwise. This includes metal twist ties and dishes with decorative metal trim. There are two reasons for this. The most important is that it may cause arcing which looks and sounds like lightning or sparks inside the oven. The other reason for not using metal is that it reflects microwaves away from itself rather that allowing them to pass through the material and cause the foods to become hot. This shielding effect of metal can be used to advantage when cooking large items such as roast meat or poultry.
