Measuring Microwave Machine Leakage - Is There a Way?

[seldon.paul]

I have a microwave machine.
I am questioning whether it has leakage or not.
I am asking is there a way of measuring the leakage of microwave machine.

What I have been doing was, I purchased oscilloscope, it is on the way.
whenever I turned on the microwave machine, the following will be done ~

The alumimum foil will be placed and two clips would be cliped each side of aluminium foil,
those clips will be connected to oscilloscope.

But, I am quite skeptic? does it work? So, I decided to post this in this skeptic & debunk
category. asking any better idea to do so?

Thank you ~

Your microwave oven uses microwave energy at 2.4GHz to cook food. That is too high of a frequency for you to be able to measure it with an oscilloscope.

Here is general information and safety information about microwave ovens:
