Quick comment on your oven test: The your oven's shell is probably some low-grade, magnetic steel. Vacuum chambers are typically stainless, aluminum, or titanium (if you want to break the bank) so non-magnetic. Their shielding effects would be much smaller.

Very good point! I tried adding a caveat to my comment but can no longer edit. Confirmed negligible impact in aluminum pot and large stainless bowl.
