My ex inlaws were the first people I knew to have a microwave,
back in the 70s. My mil wasn't used to it yet and put a coffee pot
in there that had a metal band. Sparks flew. Put me off trying the
foil thing, not that I make casseroles in the microwave anyway.

But for sure whatever you microwaved could not be completely
wrapped in foil, that would cause a problem.
