Arcing is the microwave term for sparks in the oven. Arcing is caused by:

the metal shelf being installed incorrectly and touching the 
microwave walls.

metal or foil touching the side of the oven.

foil that is not molded to food (upturned edges act like antennas).

metal such as twist-ties, poultry pins, gold-rimmed dishes.

recycled paper towels containing small metal pieces.

Covers hold in moisture, allow for more even heating and reduce cooking 
time. Venting plastic wrap or covering with wax paper allows excess steam 
to escape.

In a regular oven, you shield chicken breasts or baked foods to prevent 
over-browning. When microwaving, you use small strips of foil to shield 
thin parts, such as the tips of wings and legs on poultry, which would cook 
before larger parts.

When you cook with regular ovens, foods such as roasts or cakes are 
allowed to stand to finish cooking or to set. Standing time is especially 
important in microwave cooking. Note that a microwaved cake is not 
placed on a cooling rack.

After covering a dish with plastic wrap, you vent the plastic wrap by 
turning back one corner so excess steam can escape.
