Best Answer

Materials that have a degree of electrical conductivity or contain molecules with resonant frequencies at or near the frequency of the microwave radiation will be able to absorb the microwave energy. Ceramics that are fired in a reducing atmosphere may be slightly conductive. Porous ceramics may contain sufficient moisture to provide heating through microwave absorption by the water molecules.
