Jeanne,

    Metal is actually OK in the microwave as long as it's fully covered
    with a liquid.  For example, I use the microwave occasionally when
    I've got a piece that is very layered (like a mokume stack or a
    heavily fused piece) or hollowware and I need to be sure that I've
    thoroughly neutralized any pickle residue.  Pop it in the microwave
    immersed in a bowl of water and baking soda for about 5 minutes, and
    it works like a charm!
