I'm reheating regular green beans in our modern microwave, and on several occations it has caused sparking in the microwave and just now it caught them on fire. Is there any explanation for this?
By the way, it's not just one batch of green beans, this has happened several times over the last week or two and it only happens with green beans.

By the way, these are just regular fresh(not canned) green beans. And we put only the beans in there on a paper towel...not in foil, a can, or any metallic substance.

They could be getting too dry.
Try covering them with a damp paper towel, or putting a bit of salt and water underneath them in the bowl.

You beans might have some metal in them. Metal in a microwave will make sparks. Try putting a cdr in the nucker for just a few seconds looks real cool and the cd is even better

the only explanation would be metal in your beans ( you grow them where ? )
are you using a container for them that you are not using for other things ( did you take them out of the can ? )
LOL

Make sure you're not heating them on metal and if they are catching fire, that means all the moisture is gone from them. It sounds like you are cooking them for too long.
