I was wondering if you know how to update some old Formica kitchen cabinets. They are tearing apart due to the cooking steaming. Some ideas will be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

you could get new doors made. It would be worth it. It will make a big difference
Divert the cooking moisture w a fan. Once formica expands it has to be replaced.
Make sure they are clean and dry. Use acrylic latex paint. Remove the doors and hardware. Mark the doors and cabinets with tape where they go. Lightly sand the doors and cabinets to remove any gloss and roughen the surface for paint. Prime with a stain blocking primer like Zinsser 123. Then paint with your color. Seal with at least three coats with a water based polyurethane. Use a small foam roller and foam brush for a smooth finish.
Chalk paint covers any thing. Make any repairs needed w appropriate glue / sanding / hole repair and paint
You bet! Agree with Ronda - highly recommend chalk paint
