Microwave energy is a form of high frequency electromagnetic
energy much like radio waves.  Electricity is converted by the
magnetron into microwaves.  In the oven, these waves are
reflected by the metal oven walls and bounce around to assist
in cooking food.  Metal dishes may prevent food from cooking
or cause arcing (bluish sparks), therefore, are not
recommended.  Arcing may damage the oven.Microwaves pass through
glass, paper, and plastic.  These
materials allow cooking from all sides....
