In the west a microwave oven is almost essential in every kitchen. For those of a lazy disposition complete ready made meals can be prepared in 5 minutes.

How useful are they in a Chinese kitchen? Can they be used in preparing normal Chinese meals?

Most families here do have a microwave oven, but not frequently used. It is usually used for reheating the food. At least in my family, it is used in this way.

Prepare normal food? yes, if instant noodles can be counted in
I really don't want to cook sometimes

Dave,
I included 2 courses, and taking it out of the 'fridge ....and burning my fingers

I'm trying to convince the boss (so far unsuccessfully) that in China we don't really need one

Gaffer, a pair of adiabatic gloves is needed.

Ling is right. We just use it to reheat food. Forget to say, you also can use it to make popcorn.

How to make popcorn in microwave oven? Lonely, can you tell me? I want to give it a try. I remembered that there were some people who used a strange equipment to make popcorn when I was in primary and middle school. Now I can't find it again.

Here is a photo.

I've had Panasonics, and they do not have this problem. I'd take it back and say it does not suit your requirements.
