ANSWER: Here's a quick test to determine if the dishes are microwave safe. Microwave the empty container for one minute.

This is another case where it may not actually be the Pyrex that is at fault … it’s more the effect of what you do with the container after it’s been heated (or cooled).

But we have used vintage Pyrex in the microwave many times (I can’t count the number of times I’ve microwaved a Diagonal Handle Pyrex cup filled with coffee). See similar questions...

All microwave ovens leak microwave radiation into the room. It is not possible to design a door that completely seals, so the government allows a generous amount of leakage. Most inexpensive radiation detectors are calibrated to allow for that leakage. In other words, what you tested was whether or not your oven meets government standards, not whether it was leaking. In addition to microwaves, these ovens also give off high magnetic fields, especially as they are started. See similar questions...

Point-to-point microwave antennas transmit and receive microwave signals across relatively short distances (from a few tenths of a mile to 30 miles or more). These antennas are usually rectangular or circular in shape and are normally found mounted on a supporting tower, on rooftops, sides of buildings or on similar structures that provide clear and unobstructed line-of- sight paths between both ends of a transmission path or link.
