Hi there

Saw your microwave cooking. Just want to ask if it is safe to use aluminium foil in microwave cooking. I tot most microwave cookbook would warn against using any form of steel utensils including aluminium foil in the microwave.

Microwaves reflect away from metal so if you were to use a metal bowl or aluminium foil to cook your food, it will not get cooked as the waves are being reflected away from it. Instead you will see sparks because of the contact of the waves with the metal.
