Melissa & Doug Stainless Steel Pots and Pans Pretend Play Kitchen Set for Kids (8 Pcs), Multicolor, 1

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!

I’m so impressed with the Melissa & Doug Stainless Steel Pots & Pans set — it’s hands-down one of the best pretend play kitchen sets we’ve ever added to our home! Here’s why it stands out: 🍳 Realistic & high-quality, functional: The stainless steel construction feels substantial, with a variety of pots and pans — not flimsy like most kids’ play sets. My toddler loves banging the lids and stirring, and this set holds up beautifully. 👩‍🍳 Encourages actual play: Because the pots and pans look and feel like real cookware, my little one has been genuinely “cooking.” We’ve made everything from playdough soup to pretend pancakes, which has sparked so much creativity. 🎨 Easy to use & clean: Smooth surfaces make wiping up spills a breeze, and everything stores neatly together — perfect for busy parents. 💡 Great for learning: This set has become a fantastic tool for imaginative storytelling, role play, and even motor skill development. My toddler now pretends to cook while I prepare real meals — it’s adorable and keeps her engaged. Real results: This isn’t just a toy — it’s an experience. Days after we unboxed it, my toddler still asks to “cook together,” which says a lot! The quality and play value here are worth every penny. Highly recommend for any parent or caregiver looking to add durable, realistic, and fun kitchen play to a child’s day.

When we were creating our play kitchen area we were looking for good quality and durable pots and pans, and let me tell your these did not disappoint. It is sooooo worth every penny! They are so well made that to this day they look brand new. We love how real they look and feel. My kids love playing with these on a daily basis, and no matter how much they play they look so good. It brings a great selection of pot, pans and utensils. My kids literally think they are real "mommy pots and pans". I have to say that they are also the perfect size for little kids to use. Very fun addition to our play kitchen fun.

Great set. This pot and pan set was purchased as a birthday gift. They are lightweight and have already hosted many “parties” so far. Even stored outside, the set is holding up very well.

Easily my most favorite birthday gift I got for my 4 year old. (Note: they were neater upon opening lol sorry.. this pic was after we messed with everything) They are literally just like adult pots and pans, and now my kid feels like a REAL big girl and is wanting to cook with me more. I think they’re super cool and great for nurturing their sense of realistic play etc

Bought these for our granddaughter. Very good quality and realistic. Even though her parents don't approve of the pan pounding noises she makes with them, lol, definitely was worth the price! I also just bought this for my preschool classroom to use in the dramatic play center. Can't wait to share it with them.

Bought this pot and pan set for a little girl turning 3 as a birthday gift to be used on a mud kitchen! Clearly this set is top of the line as far as quality goes! Sturdy and well made …should be able to handle plenty of dirt mud pies! Best part was that I caught it on sale for a great price,too!

These are so cute and sturdy. My toddler used them for her outside playhouse kitchen and loved to dig in the sand with them. The little wooden spoons are a nice little touches and the rack helps to keep everything organized.

Very elegant and highly recommended

Very cute and exactly as shown. Pots are nice n big so that one can use in kitchen as well not just as show pieces but to actually serve food. They claim its stainless steel

Traen un rack para acomodarlas que es muy practico y se ven muy parecidas a las tamaño real

Brilliant set for outdoor play. Daughter loves making stone and mud pies. Perfect size for kids

Great toy for toddler. My daughter in law loves to cook and my grandson loves to imitate her. These are very sturdy, can withstand tough handling by toddlers, They are realistic looking, in fact just a mini version of the adult size pots and pans. Totally worth the price
