Idk how stupid it is. I leave foil on before innoc so stuff is closer to sterile.

No he is playing devil's advocate again...
Most household microwaves will not enjoy tin foil. And if it can its got to be done correctly.

Thanks!  I still wouldn't recommend it.

What he's saying is that if the foil is not crumpled, it won't cause sparks so it won't cause damage. No one is telling you to recommend anything, he just pointed out that it can be done safely. Microwaves shouldn't really be used for anything besides melting bottles of agar anyway IMO. A PC is much better suited for mycological purposes.

Although I do admit, I used to "pasteurize" peat for casing in the microwave in the past. Before it bit me in the ass that is.

But you gave no reasons why this "goes without saying" as though it is common knowledge that it must never ever be contemplated. I was giving the USDA instructions on doing exactly that, which suggests it should not "go without saying", people do it all the time. The last 2 microwaves I used had instructions on using metal (including foil) in the microwave. It is useful to know the reasoning why, as people may be avoiding using microwaves in a perfectly reasonable & safe manner just because they follow this old wives rule.

If I followed the blanket rule "never run with scissors" I would have missed several trains over the years, as I had a scissors on my swiss army knife, safely retracted in the tool, in a leather holster in my backpack. The warning of course has a sound basis, I prefer to know the reason behind it than to just blindly accept & follow it.

I would not leave foil on agar plates, I would have them covered with plastic bags in the first place. If you have a relatively empty microwave then the tinfoil is far more likely to cause trouble. I mentioned before having a bowl or cup of water in the microwave will help against this.

OR we don't devils advocate the loophole ways we can use small amounts of foil in a microwave that actually have nothing to do with the foil on pasty plates or this thread for that matter.
