Oooh! You can do this using:
1. A chapatti, tortilla, or similar flatbread.
2. No turntable.
3. A ruler.
4. The magnetron frequency stamped on the back of the oven.
Zap the bread, measure the distance over a few charred maxima, and
apply the whole c=f.(lambda) thing. I've seen this done with
considerable success... there's just something about using the
frequency stamped on the microwave that undermines the experiment,
for me. I can't quite put my finger on why, but there we are.
