Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

After a month of searching for the perfect stainless steel cookware set for my daughter's all-in-one-kitchen from PBK, I took a risk and ordered the Melissa and Doug Let's Play House set after reading the one and only review which gave 3stars because of size. That seemed to be the biggest complaint of nearly every metal cookware set online. The product description on Amazon and other websites does not provide dimensions, so for those who want specifics, the pots and pans are 5" in diameter from lip to lip. They are about 1-2" larger than most sets, and the pieces are 1-2" smaller than the pieces from PBK, which are much more expensive. I had initially planned on buying the stainless set sold at PBK, but when I saw the pans in person, I decided they were too big for the all-in-one-kitchen and were too long to hang from the display hooks above the kitchen's mini sink. I looked at the Alex Completer Cook Set in a local toy shop and felt the pieces were tiny and flimsy, although cute. I worried other sets by Alex would be similar. I considered the Kidkraft set after reading its positive reviews, but I didn't want/need the included play food; plus, I prefer wooden utensils since some reviewers said the metal utensils in the Kidkraft set were too sharp. Another reason I chose this set is because I wanted a mini colander. It's cute and a decent size for Haba playfood. The storage rack and presentation makes this set ideal for gift-giving. I know my daughter will love having cookware that looks like Mama's, and I'm thrilled to have found a quality product that contains no toxins or chipping paint, and that is large enough for "washing" and "cooking" play food, but not so large that it dwarfs my daughter's play kitchen (similar in size to Kidkraft's retro kitchen). Great product. Highly recommend!
