I come from a family of cooks. While I might not be the best chef around, my son is bound to have some sort of culinary gene in him. When I was approached to review Kuhn Rikon’s Kinderkitchen® line, I could not wait to see what products they offered! While my son might be too young now, he will certainly have much use for these items in the future. Kinderkitchen is a line of fun tools made just for kids! Whimsical in colors and details, these tools are perfectly kid-sized to get your little one excited about cooking! Each tool is designed specifically for children with function, safety and fun in mind.
Kuhn Rikon develop, produce and distribute high-quality cookware and accessories that make efficient and healthy cooking possible. Thanks to the cooperation with consumers, cooking schools and research institutes, the comprehensive range of cookware and kitchen gadgets also meets the wishes and needs of the trade partners. They can offer their customers attractive products in the very best Swiss quality.
Kuhn Rikon generously sent me the Cockatiel Whisk, the Dog Knife with Teeth, Bird’s Eye Open Spoon from their Kinderkitchen line. I loved how colorful the tools were and that they are actual cooking utensils, not just toys. The tools are just the right size for small hands. Made of durable plastic and metal, I liked that they would not easily break if dropped on the floor. The animal designs on each one was a nice creative touch!
The Cockatiel Whisk is in the shape of a cute tropical cockatiel! The “feathers” are great for whisking and beating. The whisk is 9 inches in length and fits standard bowls and pans. If you notice the bird’s beak, it works perfect for preventing little hands from slipping past the handle.
The blade of the Dog Knife with Teeth is made of Japanese carbon steel! This means it is sharp enough to cut food, but luckily won’t cut your little one’s fingers. If you look at the “dog’s ears”, they actually act as hand guards. I even used it myself for cutting up a pear! The little dog design was so cute. The tail is made of a really soft plastic so no worries about it poking your child.
When I first saw the Bird’s Eye Open Spoon, I wasn’t sure what to use it for! I quickly learned though that the hole in the spoon lowers resistance, which makes it so much easier for your little one to stir. The silicone “beak” works as a spatula and is very effective at scraping the sides of bowls and pans.At ten inches in length, the spoon is great for regular-sized bowls and pans.
Buy It: You can purchase Kinderkitchen tools right on the Kuhn Rikon website! The whisk retails for $12.00, the knife for $10.00, and the spoon for $8.00. The line is also available for purchase on Amazon.
I received complimentary product(s) to facilitate this review from the sponsoring company. This is 100% my own honest opinion. No one has influenced me otherwise and I was in no way compensated financially. This review is solely based on my own experience with this product.
Ooh I’d love to get these for when Rissa is a little older. How fun!
These look great! I’m an as needed nanny as well so this seems like something I could bring along for a great activity in the kitchen!
I have several Kuhn Rikon products and the quality is fantastic. I would recommend anything they make and these look great!
Oh wow! Those kitchen utensils are perfect for little ones. Thank you for sharing. I couldn’t figure out what the Bird’s Eye Open Spoon was but it makes perfect sense now.
My 4 year old would love love that!! We cook a lot and sometimes the usual utensils are not easy to handle for her
My son would love this!! My husband is a chef and our boy always asks if he can open a restaurant with his daddy. We keep saying we’re going to get him a kitchen, but we haven’t found the one we like yet. I’m going to show this to my husband and see what he thinks!!
I Need to get these for the small fry!! He LOVES to cook!!!
Going to check this site…
fun for little ones!
I love kid’s kitchen items and these look so well made!
Wow, what a neat idea. Most kids love to help out in the kitchen, I’d feel like they were safer when using tools that weren’t too big for them.
