From comments about our tests posted on the Web, we know that every time we pit a Husqvarna saw against a Stihl, we're entering a divisive political battle. The fact is, both companies make great saws. The Rancher has excellent throttle response and power thanks to well-designed airflow through the engine.
You can put plastic in a microwave oven; many microwave-safe containers are made of plastic, and most plastic cling-wraps are suitable for microwave use.
Thank you for your question. I can understand wanting to have a shelf in the microwave. This model comes with a metal pan and a metal rack. Since it is a convection oven the metal shelf would not work well because the inside of the oven would get too hot during the convection baking mode for the plastic shelf supports. I hope this information will help. Thank you for using Manage My Life.
