Aluminum foil is a metal and it will conduct electricity. In general, the foil will reflect microwave energy, but if the foil has a certain shape, it will cause the metal to act as an antenna. Voltages will be generated (induced) in the foil, and those voltages can rise to thousands of volts causing an electric arc. This arc is very hot and can ignite other things in the cavity (the cooking space) in the oven. The aluminum isn't likely to catch fire, but food and plastic containers sure can. It is generally a good idea to avoid using foil in the microwave oven, but there are some circumstances where it can be used safely. You'll find information in the owner's manual.

Can you use foil on the door of the oven?
Yes, you can use aluminum foil on the door of the oven, but it should be done with caution. Foil can reflect heat and may interfere with the oven's performance if it blocks vents. It's important to ensure that the foil is securely placed and does not touch any heating elements to avoid fire hazards. Always refer to your oven's manual for specific guidelines regarding the use of foil.
Does tin foil burn?
if you put it in the microwave, yes it will catch on fire
What would cause aluminum foil to disintegrate in a convection oven?
Aluminium foil disintegrates in a convection oven because the heat rays of the oven hits the aluminium foil but gets reflected by the foil. Thus, the oven over heats and the aluminium foil disintegrates.
Is aluminum foil safe in an electric oven?
Yes, aluminum foil is safe to use in an electric oven for cooking, baking or covering dishes. However, it's important to avoid letting the foil touch the heating elements, as this can cause a fire hazard. Additionally, do not use aluminum foil to line the bottom of the oven, as it can block air flow and affect cooking performance.
Can you heat up aluminum foil?
Heating aluminum foil can cause it to melt or catch fire, so it is not recommended to heat it up.
Should you line the bottom of a convection oven with foil to keep it clean?
Yes, in a normal oven it will catch crumbs, grease, oil etc. But DON'T put it in a microwave oven, or any other metal for that matter.
