ElectroBoom did a video on metal in microwaves and found that smooth objects don’t really do much; but if it has a lot of weird angles or sharp edges, it is more likely to generate sparks. The proximity of other metal objects was something he tested, too, and there was no consistency in it.
I’ve put a lot of metal stuff in the microwave. I am an engineer, so I guess I understand all that electro magnetic nonsense, but honestly, I just don’t give a shit. I can confirm it’s pretty much magic inside there and lucky things make sparks. We’ll need to smash spoons in a collider to unlock the fundamental particles inside cutlery that determine whether it will make sparks in the microwave or not.
