Can aluminum be used to make containers for food and drink that are microwave safe?

Aluminum is not recommended for use in microwave-safe containers for food and drink. While some aluminum containers are designed to be microwave-safe, they are typically coated with a non-metallic material to prevent arcing and damage to the microwave. However, most aluminum containers are not safe for microwave use as they can cause sparks and potentially damage the microwave. It's best to use microwave-safe plastics, glass, or ceramics specifically designed for microwave use.
