This is posted on my laptop, 2" from the door

Yes it was running, heating up a cup of coffee.
I also ran my LAN monitor and my ping time did not change, on or off

2.4 gz mouse did not move the cursor, laptop inside with the door
closed. A NE2 did not light. (ref the web page Richard linked)
If it is leaking, it is not leaking much.
I would still be curious what a real tester would show. I haven't had
a science fair project lately. I may look into it a bit deeper. I
guess the question is how much 2.4 gz is a danger since that is a LAN
frequency and also what blue tooth and a number of other wireless
devices use.

How long did it take to heat a cup of watef?

My big mug takes about 2 minutes (20 oz or so)
It really depends on the delta I am looking for tho.
I suppose I could go with a measured amount of water and a thermometer
against the rating of the oven if that is what you are going for. I
don't notice it slowing down but I never did any real precise
measurements and the timer is far from a precision dial.

That's one hot microwave. Did you get the klystron from a military
surplus radar?.

Like I said, what delta are we talking about when you say "heat up"

211 1/2 degrees F

I seldom ever actually boil water in the microwave. If I am doing that
I crank up the cook top that puts out a lot more power. If I really
want to throw the BTUs at something I go for a propane burner in the
country kitchen. (like my big fat fryer)

Matter of preference, I guess.We have a tea kettle on our cooktop
that hardly ever gets used. A recent houseguest used it. We use
the u wave.

In the camper we use an induction cooker and a convection
microwave. Never use gas except for grilling

I use the microwave a lot but I do not do a lot of actual "cooking" in
it. Usually we just heat up leftovers, thaw things out or something
like preheating a potato before I put it in the oven.
I end up cooking outside on the grill as much or more than I cook in
the house and the oven is outside. When I am deep frying or cooking
fish it is always outside. Keeps from smelling up the house,
particularly if I am "blackening" it. (actually just a sear, "blacken"
is a figure of speech). I also grill a lot of stuff.

More racist stuff. Do you have a preference for seasonings when you do 'blackened'? I like
Prudhomme's pretty well, but have never tried another. When I do it, I use a cast iron skillet on a
gas flame, letting it get 'white hot'. Can't do it inside though.

The oven and water heater being outside may just be a Florida thing
but when your A/C bill is 100x your heat bill, it makes sense. My A/C
is 3 years old and I am not sure the heat strips in the air handler
have ever been on. We have a 1.4kw toaster strip in the electric
fireplace that gets used a few times a year, usually first thing in
the morning when my wife is getting ready for work. Then it is off the
rest of the day.
