Plus, the easy-to-understand directions were a nice bonus. Once completed, the play kitchen boasts a large refrigerator, dishwasher, shelf space, deep freezer, and sink. Kettles are crucial for tea and coffee lovers! If you can’t start your day without a warm cup of coffee, then not having a kettle is going to be a huge issue. As well as hot drinks, kettles are needed for cooking purposes as well as cleaning when you want to soak things. Boiling water is necessary to help kill off bacteria that may be left lingering in dirty pans. It is also recommended that you clean your sink with boiling water and cleaning products. You’re on your own for the first time! The world is your oyster! You can do what you want, wear what you want, eat what you want….

Pottery Barn My First Ultimate Smart Kitchen: We liked the clean, simple design of this play kitchen, but the assembly instructions left room for error, and the microwave light and sound stopped working after a month. Bethanyanne88 'Bought this for my 1 year old. Loves it. He has toy food that we bought separately and he loves playing kitchens. Great value for money. Even makes sound effects.' First, testers unboxed the play kitchens and followed assembly instructions, if any. Next, we asked testers to make notes about setup, describing if the process was frustrating or simple (or somewhere in between), if testers needed any extra tools or hands, and asked them to ensure no pieces or parts could come off. Then, we asked parents and caregivers to introduce their children to the play kitchens and note their initial reactions and how they played with the setup. We wanted to know if children engaged in pretend play and role-playing, practiced sequencing, and how they manipulated the knobs, buttons, and accessories (if any). NoahsMumma 'My 2 year old son loves this little kitchen. Really is worth the money. He plays with it alot and loves the extra noises it makes.'There are 78 accessories included with this Step2 play kitchen, from pretend food and pots and pans to utensils and condiment bottles. For example, when you put a pot or pan on the stovetop, children hear a sizzling sound to replicate real cooking noises. There’s also a light in the refrigerator that automatically turns on when the door opens and a light in the oven for visibility. A big hit with our testers? The realistic blender and popcorn maker stovetop attachment—the latter has tiny white balls that pop on the inside to mimic the real thing. Having pans are essential, they allow you to boil, fry, simmer and grill which you couldn’t do without them. Although it might seem like a pain paying for pots and pans, but they are an essential and will completely transform the way you cook food, which is why we recommend them to all of our customers.
