Pears
I peeled some pears tonight, stuck them in the microwave to soften them up for T and they sparked lots and started flaming. I swear, I'm not lying! 
Has anyone had this happen to them?
They were ripe enough that she ended up just eating them raw...and did fantastic! But the sparking etc kinda freaked me out. It happened the last time I tried to nuke pears too. Weird
Re: Pears
had to google it!

tons of recipes out there for microwaved pears, and none of the sample of 5 I looked at had any warning. But they all did say to cover with something. Did you cover?
