3Cute little kitchen set with odd sizing that doesn't fit with same company's play food sets
@_*Erica
I'll try to update this review again after the holidays when we've had more time with the set.

I purchased the 73 piece kitchen set from Learning Resources along with the 80 piece play food set from Learning Resources. This was to go with a KidKraft Deluxe Kitchen that get had discounted down considerably. The giftee is a two-year old boy.

As others have noted, the colors of the kitchen set extremely vibrant, the plastic is not so thick to be chunky, and it looks pretty durable. It's an extremely cute, little kitchen set.

The only thing that shocked me was the sizing scale used for the different pieces. There seems to be no rhyme or reason to it. For example:

- The ice cream scooper and dessert dishes were a decent enough size that we could use them for every day use. They probably correct portion size for adults.
- The old-school juicer looks to be large and durable enough that an adult could also use it with small-to-medium oranges.
- The largest plate was smaller than the palm of my hand (guessing 2").
- The water pitcher is micro-sized comparatively and looks like it can hold 2 oz

If you get the Learning Resources play food set to go with it, you'll discover that you can't actually put most of the food on the plates or in the pots. The hotdog, hamburger and pizza all seemed to take up at least 2-3 dinner plates from the kitchen set. The fake spaghetti was big enough that it didn't fit in my smallest saucepan, let alone my son's kitchen set.

5Good bang for the buck
@_*LASCMojo
I researched for the best play food/utensils/plating, etc prior to purchasing this set. I already had Melissa & Doug's products in my cart, when I saw this under the "recommended" section. I had never heard of the manufacturer, Learning Resources, but the 10+ online reviews were all positive. When we received this in the mail, I couldn't quite believe that so many pieces could fit in that one box. And let me tell you, there ALOT of pieces. I don't think I'll have to buy my tot any more kitchen accessories for a very long time, if at all.

As for quality, I am impressed with this product. Although plastic, it does seem sturdy. My daughter's only had it for about 3 weeks, but she's rough on her toys, and so far so good with this one.
I had initially wanted realistic colored (e.g. stainless steel) pots & pans, since my daughter loves to watch me cook with our pots & pans. But the colors of this product all primary and vibrant, which more appealing to our tot. We love watching her take the pots and pans and "cook" pretend food, then serve them on her plates with utensils. She loves these toys. For some reason, she's become attached to the cookie dough roller and loves to roll pretend dough on our floor.

There's just so much variety to this product. It definitely keeps her busy and she's discovering new accessories all the time. Oh, there's also a plate stand, so your child can "wash & dry" their dishes and load them onto the stand. For the money, you get alot of bang for the buck.

4A lot of pieces in this set!
@_*Janie
I bought this because our local library has a similar set that my 2 year old daughter cannot get enough of! There a lot of fun pieces in this set, such as cookie cutters, a roller, timer, masher, whisk, drying rack, etc., that I did not see in other sets. The only thing that I thought was missing cups - except for the four mugs, which I thought was strange. I am a little disappointed with the quality. I expected the plastic to be heavier and more durable. However, my daughter does use them quite a bit in her pretend kitchen and enjoys them.
