Tin box packaging cannot be heated in a microwave oven. To be precise, metal utensils cannot be used for heating.Because when metal utensils are used for heating, they will interact with the electric sparks generated by the microwave oven and emit microwaves.Microwave ovens use high-frequency electromagnetic waves to heat food, and iron is a conductor of electromagnetic waves. When a tin box is placed in a microwave oven, the electromagnetic waves generated by the microwave oven will be absorbed by the tin box, causing the tin box to generate current, produce strong sparks or even cause a fire.
The tin box will also block the electromagnetic waves of the microwave oven from entering the food, causing the food to be unable to be heated.So in order to use a microwave oven safely and effectively, we should only use heat-resistant containers specifically designed for microwave ovens, such as containers made of materials such as ceramic, glass, and plastic.
