A person can use plastic bowls that come with microwaves when warming food in a microwave. Metal can not be used in microwaves, because it can cause the microwave to catch fire.
A potato wrapped in paper will cook in a microwave oven, because paper does not block microwaves. A potato wrapped in aluminum foil would not cook in a microwave because aluminum foil does block microwaves.
