Can you put a fork in microwave?

Here's why:

- Metals like steel or aluminum reflect microwaves, causing them to bounce around inside the oven.

- This reflected energy can create sparks and damage the microwave's interior, possibly causing a fire.

- The metal prongs of a fork can act as an antenna, concentrating microwaves and creating dangerous hot spots in the food.

- This uneven heating can cause the food to cook unevenly or even catch fire.

Use microwave-safe utensils and containers only to ensure the safe and efficient use of your microwave.
