The role of mica sheet is mainly
1. Shield and protect the core component of the microwave oven, the magnetron
2. Guided waves can make the heating more uniform. Neither of these has completely affected the use of microwave ovens functionally, so microwave ovens can also be used without mica sheets.
Suggestion: Without mica sheets, the working environment of the magnetron will become dangerous. If there is oil splashed on the magnetron, it may damage the magnetron when it is ignited next time. As for the guiding effect, it is difficult to detect in normal use. The price of mica flakes is very low, and you can get them wholesale through the Internet.
Do not substitute other things for mica flakes without authorization! If the material is not properly selected, it will seriously affect the use of the microwave oven, and even accidents will occur.
