My Magic Chef service manual specifies a procedure to do this.  A measured
amount of water is nuked for a specific period.  The change in temperature
(delta t) is then plugged into a formula resulting in calories of energy
which you can convert to watts.  Consult an applied physics book or I can
look it up for you. 
Better yet, convert that thing to a high power FM 2.5 Ghz transmitter and
nuke the neighborhood!  Plans are available in a recent issue of 73 magazine.
The same author originally presented the project in RF Design magazine where
he won 3rd place in the design contest (shoulda been first).  With plenty
of MDS pirate receivers/antennas around you can probably gain an audience.
Are there any MDS broadcasters left?  They shut off the one in this area.
It was a good signal source for microwave receiver projects.
