	<htmltext>What the previous posters said seems right.
The saucepan seems to have a diameter compatible to the wavelength of one of the UMTS bands (~15 to ~30cm), it may resonate or focus the RF beams to a nearby tower.
Obviously this may work in this particular place, maybe at that particular time but is not a general solution.</htmltext>

Because if that were the case, I would expect the signal to be focused in the up direction, which I doubt is where the average wireless signal is coming from.
