Best stainless set out there
By Philly Mom
I searched everywhere for a metal set of pots and pans that wasn’t miniature and could actually hold play food. This is the best one I could find. The max size of Alex and Schylling/Jr Chef pots are 3.75″ in diameter. In this set, the larger pot and fry pan are 5″ and the smaller pot is 4″. Much better for actually holding food. These pots are very durable and look very nice. Choose this set!

Fun, Sturdy
By New Mommy
My 3 year old received this pots and pans set for Christmas. He loves to cook with it and it holds his Haba wooden food nicely. As with most boys, he’s tough on his toys. We recently found him in the playroom standing on the stock pot. Even after supporting my son’s 39 pounds for several minutes, the pot looks brand new. And the really nice thing it, once my son outgrows this set, I can use it for real food. They’ll make nice pans for small quantities of sauce.

Perfect cookware set!
By Amy
I searched all the local toy stores and online for a realistic, just smaller, cookware set for my 2.5 year old. I finally purchased this and was really happy with the product. I’m always hesitant to purchase a product when I can’t see it first but this was exactly what I was looking for! The pots and pans are a perfect size with matching lids and are basically just a mini-version of my pots and pans set and can be used in the same manner. My son loves it! Highly recommended over any of the other brands / sets you can find in the stores that are just too small and made with poor materials.
