Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -If the container has any metal, don’t put it in the microwave! Metal can easily catch fire in the microwave–and cause serious damage.
Detailed explanation-2: -Metal is not safe in the microwave if: There are multiple pieces of metal next to each other (like the tines of a fork) The metal has an extremely thin or sharp edge (aluminum foil, gold trim on tea cups or plates)
Detailed explanation-3: -When microwaves hit metal objects, they get reflected, which can cause problems. If there isn’t sufficient material in the microwave oven to absorb the reflected microwaves, arcing between the metal object and another part of the microwave oven can occur.
