Why is it okay to put hot stuff in/on aluminum foil, but it doesn’t like being in a microwave?

It’s not about the heat, it’s about the electrical conductivity. Microwaves can cause electrical currents to flow through metallic objects. If you put metal into a microwave, it’ll create dangerous sparks.
