True.  Browning trays for microwaves generally contain iron.  All in all, the
home microwave is probably not going to be suitable.  I don't know if the mag
tube is designed to be on as long as it would need to run to work either.  And
having seen how many have burned up with food fires, I doubt the temperature
range is adequate either.
