You should never leave a metal spoon in a microwave, and expect to have a working microwave later on. As far as food poisoning, that usually comes from contaminated food, improperly prepared food, etc. There hasn't really been any reports of cases involving leaving a spoon in food in a microwave leading to food poisoning. However, if in doubt, see a doctor.

A microwave doesn't like having metal in it while running, it can cause uneven heating and shorten the life of the oven. Having a spoon in something is not going to hurt the food or cause it to be uneatable.

What cookware is safe to use with a microwave?

Do not! put a metal container or anything with even the slightest bit of metal on it in the microwave! you also don't want to put thin plastics in the microwave because they tend to melt. if you do use any kind of plastic your best bet is to only use the plastic that says"microwave safe" or "oven safe". You don't want to use the wrong kind of container when using the microwave. It could be dangerous. Microwave safe materials include glass, ceramics, paper products, and wax paper.
