You wish ;-). Power distribution depends on the impedance ratios of the
'hole' and of the food. I suspect that running the oven with the door open
will reduce its 'food' power by 50 to 80%. This because any MW still
heating it will pass through it once instead of many times and the power
distribution would correspnd to that of a 'hole' the size of the open door
with the food obstructing part of it. Ok, I admit this is extreme.
