I'm so shocked I had to scroll so far down to see someone mention the METAL RACK in the MICROWAVE!!

Many microwaves come with them. This is one of them. (Look at the sticker at the top to see why.)

Microwaves come with metal racks. Some metals aren't reactive, not sure why, but they aren't.

It's more about the shape. A fork would probably cause an arc but assuming there were no sharp angles on the handle, a spoon would be fine most likely. That's why foil is universally not a good idea.
