I would find it convenient sometimes to have a second one. My current one is a combination microwave/oven/grill and sometime I want to microwave and oven cook things for the same meal. The combi is much faster for oven cooking than using the one in the cooker.
Usually drying out, loss of taste, but seldom anything actually harmful, but it does depend on where you are and what is in it I suppose. Brian
This is true. In general food that is a bit iffy will give you the squits from the bacteria or yeasts that have taken up residence, taking up a new residence in your stomach.
