To my knowledge, there is no microwave technology that is compatible with metal cookware or utensils.
Your best bet when using metal cookware is a convection oven. These ovens are generally about the same size as a microwave oven, they use a fan to circulate the hot air for very fast and even cooking, and they are much more energy efficient than a regular oven.
Price-wise, they are in the same range as microwave ovens, and offer a great alternative when dealing with foods that do not "nuke" well - a juicy medium-rare sirloin, for instance, done both sides in about 5 minutes, without turning.
(You cannot use plastic or paper cookware in these ovens, as they use conventional heating elements.)

When you cook food in a microwave oven why doesn't the plate get get cooked?
Plates are usually either ceramic or glass. Both materials are transparent to the microwave radiation in a microwave oven. The electromagnetic energy goes right through the plates like they weren't there. It is the food that heats the plate as that food is being heated. Remember that the microwave radiation is "tuned" to work on the hydrogen-oxygen bonds in water. It gives them "energy" and heats them up. There are some plates that will actually get a bit hot directly from the microwave energy, but that depends on the composition of the plate.
