My sister did that once on accident and she said it sparked or something but there was no long term damage to either the microwave or the fork...

The next time y'all get bored, don't put anything metal in the microwave. It definitely will spark and cause quite a bit of damage.
If you want to see something relatively harmless, put a marshmallow in the microwave & turn it on & see what happens.

Neither a spoon nor a fork has any result. Tinfoil scrunched into balls brought about a gentle-teach with electric rates, however the microwave did no longer explode. Microwaving steel can injury a microwave by way of arcing against the internal wall, sending electrical energy lower back to the magnetron and destroying it.

Yes, sparks will fly. Depends on how long you leave it in there for. Could cause long term damage if cooked too long. I don't recommend trying it.
