can you put metal in the microwave? like a spoon in a bowl of soup, or a fork on a plate of food?
technically nobut it wont cause any harm if its something as simple as a spoonI saw an episode of mythbusters where they tested several metal objects in the microwave and the only one that made a spark was the balled-up aluminum foilThis is because the electromagentic waves can jump across small distances (crinkles in the foil), therby producing a spark like lightBut most metal objects are completely harmless in the microwave such as spoons, forks, and metal bowlsBut I wouldn't try it cuz.you never know.
