Hello! I am a housewife and I cook everyday for my family with two children. I always need to deal with leftovers as I usually ended up preparing more food than my family could eat. The old microwave of mine is already unusable and I always wanted an oven as well. So I am planning to purchase a kitchenaid microwave for my home instead of both oven and microwave as I heard that it is easier to operate and it saves space too. I would need some recommendation here as I prefer if they come with guides on how long or how well I should cook the food and what type of pans should I use to cook. I think most of them will come with it. It’s best if they come with steamer vessel as well. Please guide me on my purchase. Thanks.

I don't think any of the posters "live in fear" about microwaves. I am afraid of venomous snakes. I don't keep snakes in my house. Therefore I don't "live in fear" of snakes. Sure, it can go too far, the winnowing of ones life for the benefit of your personal health and the health of the planet. That said, thinking and questioning isn't being fearful, it's being open to ideas. I agree with the above poster who says "intuitively". If we think in terms of food being organic and alive it makes perfect sense that slowly heating the food with natural heat is less damaging to the structure of the food than whirling it's bits around in a radioactive machine. I have a microwave in my house now. I won't always have one. I won't ever buy another one.

Some fear is rational, and healthy. You know, like fear of drunk driving or asbestos or falling off a cliff. You don't have to drown in it.

Rick Gilbert I've used 'em for years, and don't fear them. However, our over the stove unit broke last November, and I haven't missed it all that much. It's a non-essential appliance, especially at home.

Azlan Halloran For me it simply takes up too much space and to be honest, I get sorta entranced by that rotating platter thingy. I end up standing in front of it, watching my popcorn turn. Sometimes I even talk on my cell phone while this goes on and I'm sure that can't be a healthy combination. Plus it makes my cat crazy.

Tobye Hillier Nope! But I do have a one-cup kettle…. just press the button and it gives one cup of hot water instantly…making a cup of tea in the microwave is not only gross it's also close to heresy!

Waylon Lewis Aunty, you could say that about pesticides on our food or lawns, or the high risk of accidents in cars, or any manner of thing. Our grandparents could say that about asbestos, back in the day. Doesn't mean there's not a risk and you're not worth taking good care of, I love you!

I accidentally set my microwave on fire a few years back (reheating a cup that apparently had metallic decorations). Whoops!

I've never since felt compelled to replace it. We cook on the stove, reheat in the stove and have a tea kettle. Even popcorn makes so much more sense on the stove. Popcorn kernels are wholesale about $1 a bag where I live and cooking up 1/4 cup of kernels gives you a whole pot full, so financially that makes more sense for this mom of three.

As for safety of microwaves to food, I don't have any idea…

revised version of my last comment: (please delete the previous one – thanks : )
Heck, people's granite countertops emit radiation and can generate radon gas – and we spend more time leaning over those than we do standing next to our microwave ovens. Microwave ovens remind me of people's fears of flying in airplanes. They're statistically far safer than driving in cars, but they "seem" more dangerous.

oh.. and on a related note, those of us who enjoy rock climbing and bouldering expose ourselves to higher than background radiation too as the rocks themselves emit radiation (and we're putting our chests and family jewels right up next to them for long periods of time too – something people don't tend to do with their microwave ovens).
