There is some kind of metal in the microwave. Maybe you have a gold edge around your plate or a metal twist tie. You can not put metal in the microwave (one metal spoon or fork will be okay.)

Can you put spoons in a OVEN?
Metal spoons - silver or stainless steel or aluminum - would not be damaged by time in a conventional oven, though it is difficult to think of a reason to do so. You must not heat metal spoons in a MICROWAVE oven, as that would damage both the spoon and the oven itself.
Why is it bad to put metal fork inside the microwave?
1/18/2012 I am improving on this answer because the answer that follows this note is encouraging possible disaster. No microwave manufacturer condones the use of metal of any kind in the oven. Yes, metal will arc and spark inside a microwave and WILL damage the oven. If this one person did not shorten the life of his (parent's) microwave oven it is a lucky break. (Val5330) Previous Answer: I'm answering this question because I'm tired of people telling me it's bad to put a fork in the microwave, because the TRUTH is, IT'S NOT. The theory that it's bad to put a fork in the microwave IS A MYTH! The theory is that the metal prongs on a fork will carry sparks of electricity which will jump and arc, and maybe destroy the microwave, but they will not, because the prongs are not close enough. Not Even Close. Now if you roll up a piece of tin or aluminum foil into a ball and microwave it, you will see some sparks because the metal tips are so close, but even this will not hurt you or your microwave. over the past 10 years, everything I have ever cooked in the microwave, such as hot pockets, pizza, burgers, ravioli, spaghetti, and all that, I have put forks and spoons in. It still works fine. Just to prove a point to my obsessed parents, I put about 10 forks in my microwave and let it run for 5 minutes. Guess what, NOTHING HAPPENED. In fact, the microwave has never had any problems, and still works to this day. Does that answer your question?
Nonstick Club Aluminum cook in oven?
Unless the handles are all metal, it isn't a good idea. Composite handles can be affected by the heat of the oven. Not sure which set your question relates to, but any all-metal cookware will work in an oven. Others, probably not a good call. If the pots and pans are all metal, fine. If the handles on the lids aren't, don't put 'em in the oven.
Can you put metal or aluminum in a cooking oven?
Answer: No! Do NOT put aluminum foil in the bottom of an oven, I did that and it ended up melting and baking on the bottom of the oven and it's almost impossible to get it off.
