it counter acts the radiation waves within the microwave and creates resistent force, which produces sparks.
this then increases the heat of the microwave and the platelets overheat and cause a mini meltdown.

The energy produced by a microwave oven is absorbed by whatever you are cooking. This energy will pass through glass, plastic, etc. It will bounce off metal and could be reflected back into the transmitter of the oven and destroy it.

the steel super conducts the microwaves, it can cause your microwave to short and catch on fire, yet little pieces of aluminum doesn't do it when used to cover the corners of a rectangle dish... hmmmm hope that helped you

Electric shock anyone? You don't put metal in the microwave because it causes it to malfunction and send sparks everywhere. Don't ask me how I know...

because steel bounces off the microwaves... where as these waves pass thru glass - hence glass is used...

It would ruin ( ZAP!) the microwave; something about the metal. Others can explain it scientifically.

microwave will cause an electrical discharge to you metal conainers, but mostly microwaves dont penitrate metal, so nothing will cook
