That's the waveguide cover. Quite
often this arcing is due to grease or food particles stuck somewhere in the
cavity of the oven or stuck on or behind the waveguide cover.
The
waveguide cover (also called a spatter shield) is usually about the
size of a playing card and often held in place by a plastic rivet.
It can be fragile, and
the metal edges of the oven behind it can be sharp, so be careful!
The cover and the metal
behind it should be cleaned with a mild, non-ammonia cleaner.
The area will first have to be sanded smooth and
cleaned and dried thoroughly.
Then you can apply some
high-temperature appliance paint, available from places like Wal-Mart,
Lowe's or Builder's Square.
If your waveguide cover
is burned, it will need to be replaced. It provides important
protection for the magnetron. Please reply back with your brand and model number so we can point you to a part supplier.

It sounds like a pizza crisper. Throw it away and chew the kids out.
