Not at all, doesn't harm it one bit.
Sigh... do you know what a Standing Wave Ratio (SWR)is? Do you know
what a bad SWR means to a tranmission tube? Have you read the manual
about putting metal in the microwave? Do you know that it's the metal
in the CD that causes this reaction?

Why do I think the answer to the above questions are no

Funny how one of my microwaves has a metal rack in it, and it doesn't
say to remove it to use the microwave. Do try again.

I'll give you a hint though. The warning isn't because of damage to the
magnatron.

I have an old huge Panasonic convection microwave that is still my #1 kitchen
appliance. Because it is also convection this thing has accidentally microwaved
tons of metal. I even miked a 10 stack of CDs at once, now that was a show.g
It works as well now as it did new nearly 20 years ago.


I haven't tried a stack of 10 at a time, but I'm sure it would be quite
a show.

Have you tried the grape plasma arc yet?

Nice show, especially if you have the lights off in the house.
