Yes, it is true that children should keep away from kitchen and if we talk about microwave then a improper use of it also effect nutrition of food.
With a lot of children in the house people generally don't pay much heed to where they should be let and which doors should be closed to them. Kitchen is one place where very small children shouldn't be brought because of such potentially harmful appliances for them. Though I was extra careful around things like dishwashers and ovens but you have expanded my list and I am thankful to you for this.
It's true that children should keep away from kitchen because it is one place where they can harm themselves.
These type of kitchen appliances are very much in trend these days are a must have in every modern kitchen. Induction cooking is faster and much more energy efficient type of cooking than traditional electric way of cooking. The induction cooktop only heats the utensil and allows instant cooking. This way of cooking also reduces the risk of burns because the surface of this burner heated from contact with the pan. Therefore, it is a perfect option for your kitchen if you have small kids.
thanks for the incite :D
