Which unwanted outcome occurs when a microwave oven's magnetron emits excessive power?

💡 Explanation

Excessive magnetron power causes hotspots and surface burning because dielectric heating increases rapidly; Runaway heating occurs, therefore the food surface dries beyond the interior, rather than uniform heating achieved at lower power, protecting the outside of the food.
