A potato wrapped in paper will cook in a microwave oven, because paper does not block microwaves. A potato wrapped in aluminum foil would not cook in a microwave because aluminum foil does block microwaves.
What type of material can you use to replace your microwaves door seal since you can no longer order parts?
It's not so much the material but the criss cross pattern of the material that keep the microwaves in. I would STRONGLY suggest however, that if you can't get a replacement part for a microwave and are not qualified to work on a microwave that you dispose of it and purchase a new one. Unprotected microwaves or incorrectly serviced microwaves are EXTREMELY dangerous.
