It just occured to me that a good way of testing the shielding of a microwave oven would be to put a cell phone inside it (with the oven turned off) and see if it loses the WiFi signal, which is 2.4GHz just like the magnetron.
Then I tested it... the signal got weaker but still got through!
A friend of mine also tested and his oven didn't block the signal.
Am I missing something or are our ovens leaking?
I found some detectors on DX and ebay, can anyone confirm that they work?
Is there any other test I can perform?
