Cookware that should not be microwaved
Cookware with gold and silver decorative elements
Decorative elements on most cookware may contain paint with metal on it. As a result, electrical discharges are generated, which can lead to microwave damage.
Metal cookware
Heating such cookware in the microwave can create a serious problem. The metal begins to spark, which can lead to appliance damage and fire.

Glassware made of thin glass
Thin glass may not be able to withstand high temperatures. Such dishes will crack or even break.
Crystal crockery
Crystal crockery has many irregularities and various pits. The material heats up very unevenly, so there is a risk of damage.

Wooden tableware
Wood has a rather porous structure and contains a lot of moisture. Therefore, cookware made of this material can dry out from the high temperatures of the microwave.
