@Pirate88179,

The only thing that would beat an aluminum pan as an antenna would be a Faraday cage.

Statements like that suggest that you do not understand how antennae or Faraday cages work.  A Faraday cage creates an image field that mirrors the impinging field.  The sum of the image and the impinging fields approaches zero.  In order to be effective it must create an image for fields impinging from any direction.  It must therefore completely surround what it is intended to shield.

Which is why those basting pans worked for both Lidmotor, and Dr. Stiffler.

@MarkE,

You're just full of shit:

"Building a Faraday cage to protect from EMP is easy. ... Otherwise the cage can work as an antenna to concentrate an EMP and bridge it".

Actually, building a Faraday cage that is good enough to protect effectively against an EMP is a challenging task.  I can guess what you redacted from that quote: Mention that if the cage is not built well enough then the cage can end up becoming a receiving antenna. Why don't you cite the source?

@MarkE,

The interior ítem has to be completely insulated from the cage to protect against the EMP. Connecting the item to the cage turns the cage into an antenna, just like connecting the item to the aluminum tray.
