I'll assume that you're talking about the kitchen appliance that cooks with

microwave radiation, called a "microwave oven"

Many parts of the appliance are made with plastic, glass, and rubber. Some of

those parts conduct heat, and others don't. None of them conduct electricity.

Other parts are made with metals. Those parts do conduct heat and electricity.

No, a microwave is not a conductor producing heat, its actually a glass tube, that transfers electric energy into an electromagnetic wave, which happens to excite water molecules.

Why doesn't a microwave oven make a plastic dish get hot?

A microwave oven doesn't make a plastic dish get hot because plastic is not a good conductor of heat and does not absorb microwaves as efficiently as other materials like glass or ceramic. This means that the plastic dish does not heat up as much when exposed to the microwave radiation.

Can you cook tinned food in the tin it came in on a hexi stove?

No , you cant. because you cant put tin in a microwave because of the eletrical waves flowing through and because tin is a metal , and metal is a good conductor or electricity this microwave tends to blow up. Therefore if you were too put a tin on the stove. You would have the same results.

Why can your microwave oven have a metal shelf?

A microwave oven may include a metal component, like a shelf, if it is of the manufacturer's design. A manufacturer can properly design and place a metal component in a microwave oven by ensuring that it is not, and cannot become, a microwave antenna. If a metal component is designed by the manufacturer, specifically for its ovens, it is safe to use (per the instructions). Utensils, aluminum foil, gilding, and other metal objects act as antennae causing arcing and possible fires, and may cause damage to the oven.
