Lenox Alternative Metal is a metal alloy that is tarnish-resistant and will not chip, dent or crack under normal use. The surface of any metal piece, including our durable pieces, can be scratched due to cutting on the item or stacking during storage. This will create a natural look and will not affect the usefulness of the piece.

* Thoroughly hand wash and immediately hand dry your new serving piece before use to remove any manufacturing particles.

* Before every use, protect the finish by coating the surface with cooking spray or oil. Failure to do so may result in discoloration.

* Lenox Alternative Metal serveware is designed to serve from oven to table to freezer; due to the properties in this metal alloy, food can be prepared and served either hot or cold.

* However, Alternative Metal is not cookware and if used as such the product can discolor. It is acceptable to warm food in it, but not routinely cook in it.

well, Generally, as has been said, NO, it isn't a good idea!!!!

If in doubt, DON'T!!!!

BUT, after all, the cavity you put your things into, to be heated by the microwave, is METAL isn't it!!!!

If metal IS permitted by the manufacturer, just make sure you FOLLOW ALL their instructions & be sure it's not touching the metal cavity inside, or the metal parts of the turn table, or each other, so it won't arc.

For example, if permitted, you could probably warm up a bottle of olive oil, from the fridge, thats solidified from the cold, and leave the metal cap on the bottle, IF it doesn't touch the inside of the microwaves cavity.

You could for instance, if permitted, wrap the bony part of say, chicken legs, with metal foil, as long as it's not touching each other, or the insides of the microwave, so they wouldn't cook too quickly & dry out the meat.

BUT ONLY use metal in your microwave, IF your manufacturer says it's ok to do so & ONLY do it the WAY he said is permissible.

metal is used in microwave cooking, the results of gas and electric cooking are obtained. Neither special food packaging nor special formulation of ingredients are required to cook food when metal is used as part of the cooking container in a microwave oven.

Some foods that can be cooked in a microwave oven with the aid of metal are cake, two crust pies, cookies, rolls, biscuits, fruit turnovers, pizza pie from scratch, breaded frozen items such as fried chicken and fried shrimp, rare and medium steaks and hamburgers. Some foods that cook better in a microwave oven when metal is used are whole chicken or chicken parts, precooked frozen pizza pies, frozen prepared dinners and entrees.

Some glass and ceramic dishes become super-heated when exposed to microwave energy. A glass dish can become a puddle of red hot, molten liquid from exposure to microwave energy. Glass and ceramic cookware that contain impurities will crack when used in a microwave oven.

Before you buy glass or ceramic products, for use in your microwave oven, you look for the words, "Microwave Safe" on the product. The words, "Microwave Safe," signifies that a manufacturer has tested its product and determined that its product is safe to use in a microwave oven.
