The instructor used metal in the oven (such as a fork left in a measuring cup for stirring eggs). He said this is possible if there is more food than metal. He also cooked TV dinners by removing the foil cover and putting the dinner back into the box for cooking. No need to dirty another plate or use wax paper or plastic wrap to cover. He even cooked frozen vegetables without removing them from the box--just freezer to microwave to serving dish. Pretty useful if you don't have a lot of microwave-safe dishes to use.
