Let the manufacturer make the call. No one on this board is as qualified when it comes to offering advice like that. Refer to the user's guide and see what it says. If it isn't about, go online and see if it's available as a .pdf document at the manufacturer's web site. (Free download!) Maybe call a place where they sell the unit and try to "borrow" one for a few minutes. Failing that, order one. If one has spent the money for a more capable appliance like a microwave convection oven, why not find, locate and read, or order the owner's manual? There are a lot of things possible with these machines, and the folks who designed and engineered the unit will provide the low down on how best to use it.

It is generally suggested that we do not use foil in a microwave oven. The foil might act act as an antenna and can cause an electrical arc and start a fire. It is possible to use foil in a microwave oven, but it should be used only with the manufacturer's instructions. Any freelancing in this case may cause that electrical arcing that was mentioned, and you may quickly have a fire within the cavity of the oven.

In most cases you can't, because Aluminium foil (or any metal) causes sparks and it is possible your microwave oven may catch a fire.

> However, depending on the individual oven make and model, aluminum foil can be used in the microwave for specific purposes, yet only in very small amounts. For example, when microwaving a meatloaf in a rectangle dish, small strips of foil may be used to cover the corner edges of the meatloaf to prevent overcooking. Similarly, when poaching an egg, a 2" square of foil may be placed over the (pierced) egg yolk to prevent it from becoming too hard.

Check the instruction manual provided with the specific microwave being used.
