Can you microwave titanium?
I know you CAN microwave anything. I mean, is it safe? Will it throw sparks or anything? Has anyone tested it? If so, what were the results?

It's metal....
If you find yourself in a fair fight; your tactics suck.
If it conducts electricity, don't put it in the microwave.
I understand that, but some metals are safe to microwave, I just don't know which ones.Originally Posted by sheepdog
My parents first microwave came with a metal rack and a metal cooking probe (haven't seen those in a while now that I think about it.) Those were safe but I don't know which metals are or are not.

chickens or titanium??

I would say that there was shielding in place so that microwaves could not strike the metal shelf.
Wendy's hamburgers catch fire if toasted with the wrap in place. Titanium is just a fancier metal and could possibly spark and damage the unit.
Of course that's my opinion and I could be wrong.

Yep, it is safe to microwave titanium.
Ok trail heads, I got tired of waiting for an answer so I tested it myself. I put the lid of my titanium 700ml pot in there for a full 60 seconds. No sparks! and it was barely warm to the touch. So the answer is... Yes, titanium is safe to microwave.
