Can we use metal like aluminum in a convection microwave? How does it work if we don't use metal pans inside it? What is the effect of using metal on the food we cook inside it?

Yes.

For example, aluminum foils are often utilised in the microwave oven to heat the food or make cakes.

As for the effect of aluminum foil when used in cooking, it can heat the food very quickly due to the great insulation property and heat conductivity. Also, the products like aluminum foils are disposable and recyclable, making it both convenient and environmentally-friendly.

Food packaging aluminium foil is safe and hygienic. Aluminium foil has a melting point of 660°C and a boiling temperature of 2327°C. Aluminium foil is made from raw aluminium that has been rolled through a variety of processes and is itself free of heavy metals and other harmful substances. The surface of the aluminium foil has a dense oxide layer, which is relatively stable chemically and will not analyse aluminium ions as long as it is not in a strong acid environment, making it very safe. Aluminium foil can be used in direct contact with food and is not susceptible to deterioration.

As for the side effect that you might worry about, I should say, do not worry if you are operating according to the instruction on the package of aluminum foils. If you are to use aluminum foils in cooking, avoid adding strong acid into the food in case the aluminum ions would come out.
