  1. Never put anything metal or metallic, or foil, in a microwave oven, otherwise it will arc.  Therefore you should never have sparkles!  so there's nothing to put in there to stop them......  Oh dear, someone help me, is this making sense?  She's gonna burn her house down........

  6. Yes you can put Aluminium Foil in a microwave oven.Try this for fun ! without damaging your microwave oven.                    

    RIPENING A BANANA IN THE MICROWAVE:

    I ran across an intriguing banana ripening tip in a Japanese-language cookbook and Barbara Kafka’s Microwave Gourmet, and decided to test it out. Microwave Gourmet gives a qualified recommendation for warming an unripe banana for one minute in a medium-power (500-600W) microwave oven, using aluminum foil to shield both ends from over-warming (see URL listed below). Kafka writes that the limited use of aluminum foil to shield part of the food works because microwaves can’t pass through metal, but cautions that metal pots and ceramics decorated with gold or other metals shouldn’t be put in the microwave oven. “A lot of metal may create an arc, or flash of light, in the oven; this won’t kill your oven, but it is unpleasantly dramatic.

            

           <<< Is it safe to us aluminum foil in a microwave oven?>>>

      

      Always consult the owner’s manual of your microwave oven and heed the

    manufacturer’s recommendations for the use of aluminum foil. It can be

    safe to use small amounts of aluminum foil in a microwave oven.

    Microwaves cannot pass through metal but are absorbed by food. No food

    completely covered by aluminum foil or in a covered metal pan should be

    put into a microwave oven because food wouldn’t be available to absorb

    the microwaves. Operating the oven empty or when the food is

    completely wrapped in aluminum foil can cause damage to the oven and

    the food won’t heat.

    However, small pieces of aluminum foil can be used to “shield” areas of

    foods, such as poultry drumsticks and wings, to prevent overcooking.

    Some food packaged in foil containers can be safe to microwave. Read the

    package heating instructions to see if the food manufacturer has specific

    recommendations for microwaving the product. Because food in these

    containers will only heat from the top, it’s best to microwave foods only 1-

    2 inches in depth so food near the bottom will be heated thoroughly

    before food on top dries and overcooks.

    General Rules for Safe Use of Aluminum Foil:

    · Use new, smooth foil only. Wrinkled foil can cause arcing (sparks).

    · Cover no more than 1/4 of the food with foil.

    · Shape the foil smoothly to the food so no edges stick out

    · It makes no difference which side of foil (shiny or dull) is facing out.

    · Do not place the foil closer than one inch from the oven walls.

    · If the microwave oven has metal shelves OR a metal turntable, don’t

    microwave food in foil containers or metal pans, and don’t let foil

    used for shielding touch or be close to the shelves or turntable.

    · If you see arcing (sparks), immediately remove the foil shielding;

    transfer frozen food from foil container to a microwave-safe utensil.

       As far as something that stops sparkle, I haven't heard of any such thing just careful management if using foil.But have fun searching you may be onto something that would be quick & convenient in a busy Industry.
