Materials like aluminum foil (for shielding small parts), browning dishes, dinnerware, heat-resistant glassware, oven cooking bags, paper plates/cups, paper towels, parchment paper, plastic containers/wrap, and microwave-safe thermometers are generally suitable with specific precautions. Materials to be avoided include aluminum trays, food cartons with metal handles, metal or metal-trimmed utensils, metal twist-ties, paper bags, plastic foam, and wood, as they can cause arcing, fire, or damage.
