What about the microwave they use in restaurants. They won't bother to check though.

But wait how rational it is to put a phone inside electrical appliance that generate heat and just remove from power socket..
Re: Have You Checked Your Microwave For Radiation Lately? by laginks: 5:05pm On Aug 21, 2015
Nigerians can so believe anythingThe "cell phone" test is a fraud. Cell phones operate on a frequency range much lower than microwaves (800 MHz for phones and 2.5 GHz for the ovens), and the metal screen in the microwave door won't affect them. The phone will ring loud and clear and it doesn't mean the oven is leaking microwaves.

You can buy a "microwave leakage test card" at some stores that supposedly change color when you hold in front of the door if the oven is leaking microwaves. This is also a fake. It actually responds to heat, on the thory that if heat is escaping around the door then microwaves are too. That's wrong.

The only sure way to test for microwave leakage is with a standardized leakage test meter. This is a fairly expensive electronic device. You really don't need to worry about microwave leakage unless the door of the oven is visibly out of alignment so that it isn't closing and sealing properly. If the door hasn't been getting slammed shut and the oven hasn't been dropped, everything should be fine. Take the oven to a service shop for a leakage test if you are concerned.

One final note: Microwave energy drops off rapidly with distance. Just don't stand right in front of the oven while it's running.

Hope this helps ease your mind. Thanks !

This method could be wrong, I got this from wiki 'Some web sites recommend using a cell phone to
test a microwave oven for radiation leakage. You
are supposed to put your cell phone in the oven
and try to call it. If it rings, it is supposed to
indicate a leak. However, this method is wrong
because cell phones operate at different
frequencies than microwave ovens. Even if the cell
phone rings in the oven, this does not indicate a
leak, so it is nothing to worry about. Protection
against microwave leakage in microwave ovens is
specifically tuned to the frequency of the
microwaves (2.4 GHz) and is not expected to
prevent other frequencies to get through (cell
phone frequencies are in the 800 to 1900 MHz
range).
Note about using a cell phone to test for microwave
leaks

I stopped using microwave 10 years ago, microwaves is a health hazard.

Has any one ever wondered were those sparkling lights that heats up food in a microwaves comes from? undecided
Re: Have You Checked Your Microwave For Radiation Lately? by zemaik(m): 5:17pm On Aug 21, 2015
According to Dr Leo Roy of Westbank, B.C, and based on the conclusions of varied Swiss, Russian and German scientific clinical studies, you simply cannot afford to ignore the health dangers associated with microwaved foods. Here are 10 reasons why.

1). Continually eating food processed from a microwave oven causes long term – permanent – brain damage by ‘shorting out’ electrical impulses in the brain (de-polarizing or de-magnetizing the brain tissue).

2). The human body cannot metabolize (break down) the unknown by-products created in microwaved food.

3). Male and female hormone production is shut down and/or altered by continually eating microwaved foods.

4). The effects of microwaved food by-products are residual (long term, permanent) within the human body.

5). Minerals, vitamins, and nutrients of all microwaved food is reduced or altered so that the human body gets little or no benefit, or the human body absorbs altered compounds that cannot be broken down.

6). The minerals in vegetables are altered into cancerous free radicals when cooked in microwave ovens.

7). Microwaved foods cause stomach and intestinal cancerous growths (tumors). This may explain the rapidly increased rate of colon cancer in America .

cool. The prolonged eating of microwaved foods causes cancerous cells to increase in human blood.

9). Continual ingestion of microwaved food causes immune system deficiencies through lymph gland and blood serum alterations.

10). Eating microwaved food causes loss of memory, concentration, emotional instability, and a decrease of intelligence.

Now really – is the idea of eating cold food (or perhaps going to the trouble of buying a small oven warmer for the office) really so bad? Surely if the health side of things doesn’t get you, you can at least acknowledge that microwaved food is often almost tasteless anyway! Talk about a lose-lose situation – especially when you’re going to the trouble of buying and preparing good organic meals.
