Not just her home, the reality TV star wants to raise healthy children, and she’s doing it one organic diary-free food at a time.
Things Kourtney Kardashian Has Banned From Her Calabasas Family Home
Kourtney Kardashian has strict rules for the home she shares with her four children; Mason, 13, Penelope, 11, and Reign, 8, who she welcomed with ex Scott Disick and and baby Rocky, who she shares with Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker.
The Kardashians star and Lemme founder has always been vocal about her parenting style. In her lifestyle blog Poosh, she revealed that immediately she welcomed her eldest child Mason, she banished a common household appliance from her home.
“One kitchen appliance I never use is a microwave. If anything needs to be heated up, I prefer to use the oven, stovetop or toaster oven instead,” she previously revealed.

“I read that toxins from plastic containers can be transferred to food when reheated (this applies to BPA-free plastic containers too).”
She then noted that when it comes to her family, she always aims to play it safe. As for whether she was able to find a safe and worthy alternative, she promises that her oven toaster does as much of a good job as well.
This way, food is reheated evenly instead of the risk of parts of it being cold, which Kourtney fears might eventually lead to health issues for her children.
However, the famous TV personality is not the only mother who isn’t a big fan of microwaving meals. Hello’s Chief Content Officer, Sophie Vokes-Dudgeon, is another mother who doesn’t have the appliance in her home.

Sophie Vokes-Dudgeon Says “Cancer Scare” Made Her Get Rid of Her Microwave
For Sophie, once she got rid of her microwave, she stopped worrying about the nutritional content of food being reduced due to using the common household appliance.
“We got rid of our microwave ten years ago and I honestly don’t miss it. We were renovating our kitchen and I was on a huge health drive after a cancer scare and so I was reading a lot of studies about food and nutrition. One study I read suggested that the nutritional value of foods was reduced by microwaves, for example, microwaving was found to remove 97% of the flavonoids in broccoli – these compounds reduce inflammation, a major factor in immunity,” she explained.
“There are other studies that show there are ways to use microwaves to retain more nutritional value, if you’re very strict on the timing of the cooking, but I’m not a precise chef, so for me it seemed sensible to avoid. After a small adaptation period of making porridge on the hob, and reheating things in the oven, I realised I preferred how things taste cooking them properly, so I’ve never gone back.”
Whatever you may believe, the WHO actually states that there’s no risk in eating food from the microwave and that the nutritional value remains the same.
