Is it normal for Europeans to not have an oven?

[Duke]

I don't have a microwave because my family doesn't approve of it and I hate the taste of most microwaved food regardless. You can warm soup on the stove and meat in the oven, it's an unnecessary appliance

Agreed, and when you warm up food in oven, it tastes better.

I used Microwave to worm up a cup of water for tea, but dont have in anymore and use water heater jug, or whatever its called

No, I've never met a person without an oven.
I have it, but I rarely use it because it isn't necessary for most of the foods I make. I generally eat meat or fish off the grill, and I don't own a microwave.

The Microwaves aren't that uncommon here.

Well maybe things are starting to change. It's been a while since I've been to Europe.

Microwaves are present in 95% of homes in Russia I think, but for example I avoid standing next to it when it's warming up the food. It's not good for albumen of your body, especially for the eye whites, it's not about cancer. But I use it really rare.

When I was talking about euros I had in mind western Europe. My bad.

microwave doesn't cause cancer but it can heat food to absurd high temperatures resulting in all kinds of unwanted chemical reactions that are not so healty.

Yeah, cause cancers is also umbrella term for unhealthy, because the more unhealthy you are, its more probable you'll get cancer.

From what i read, cancer is basically gene corruption, when body tries to regenerate cells, chromosomes fuck it up, and it gets life of its own.

Yes, this is it! "Micro waves" do not cause cancer, but hot plastic leeching into your food can.

I only use the microwave to sterilize the dishcloth sometimes, free fireworks also

We have both an oven, a microwave and an airfryer. I didn't have an oven when I was in my own student house but it's impossible to live without an oven in a family home.

I heard that Americans don't have saunas at home how weird are those people. I'm losing my mind to think that a human being could live without one.

I’d love to have one!
