From what I've been told, the metal will reflect the microwaves, which
is not a good thing.  Blue sparks will start shooting out of your oven,
and the gun which generates the microwaves will be ruined.  Your rack
is probably made out of porcelain, not metal.  This won't reflect the
microwaves, but will absorb them instead. This is also how your food gets
cooked, by absorbing the microwaves and not reflecting them.
