BTW the item you are referring is normally made of sheet mica, and is placed
at the junction of the wave guide and cooking cavity. As stated it elimnates
spalshes of material from reaching and coating the magnatron, burning there,
and eventually destroying it.

It will not be protected.It's very cheap to replace.Buy a strip,cut to
size.Not really dangerous but for the price why bother to take the
risk
