1. NO NO NO! Foil will cause arcing and will ruin your microwave, the food, and possible cause you harm to. NO!
2. NOoooooooooooo Its best to use something plastic...aluminium can set it on fire...
3. NO,NO,NO,, will blow up microwave,,use plastic wrap,,hope it's not to late
4. no it's not you will see a lot of sparks and possible a fire thats why they make plastic bake wear for the microwave
5. no, no, no unless you would like to start a fire.
6. There are some microwaves that you can use foil in if it's in small quantities. But I would not recommend it.
7. Depends on the oven. My new microwave says I can use aluminum foil as long as it does not touch the edges. Check your manual. If it is older, I would say NO.
8. no metal at all
9. I wouldn't do that! Any metal can cause arcing inside the oven, which can damage your microwave, and possibly cause a fire. Those little, aluminum-foil "platforms" in microwaveable foods (the things that give your microwave pizza a crispy crust) are specially designed, so they won't cause a problem. Use plastic wrap instead.
10. Ooh look at all the pretty sparkles. It's just like the Fourth of July!
11. NOPE!!!!!!!!!!!!! I once saw someone put foil in micro and POW the glass came flying our cause it EXPLODED
12. NONONONONONONONONO and NO
13. Only if you plan on buying a new one because that's what you'll have to do because it will blow up. But at least you'll get to see some really cool sparkles.
