So I have one of those Bluetooth thermometers for meat and other foods. I heard it wasn’t supposed to work in my oven, because it’s a combination of a regular oven in the microwave. Since microwaves are supposed to be a faraday cage, it was my understanding that no radiation should be able to get out.

On the other hand, Bluetooth sensors are so incredibly sensitive, that my microwave might still be well within safe margins in terms of escaping microwaves.

It’s worth pointing out that the reception on my Bluetooth thermometer doesn’t work very well, but if I hold my mobile phone in certain places near the oven and will shortly catch a signal.

Should I be worried and buy a new oven?

    Can it be used in a microwave? No way! Unless you like explosions. That’s going to void the warranty on everything and everyone around.

      They have a way with words! Bus as said in another answer, I don’t use it with the microwave function.
