Lights and Sounds
Lights and sounds add to the entertainment value of this children’s kitchen. The Best Chef’s play kitchen comes with an electronic stove top burner that adds to kid’s amazement. It makes a sizzling sound when the pan is placed on it and a bubbling noise when the pot is placed on it. Kids always want to be older and this is one way they can do that safely. This alone will provide valuable engagements for your kids and it’s one feature they will never get tired of.
Storage
As small as the kitchen is, it provides a pretty adequate storage for its size. The plastic spice bottles and spice shakers can be placed on the racks. The play utensils and cups can be hung on the provided hooks all over the plastic toy kitchen. There is storage space inside the oven and in the refrigerator.
As a plus, there is a recycle bin where more accessories can be stored. These storage spaces are more than adequate to accommodate the accompanying 25-piece accessory set and the extras you will be buying for your child.
Safety
The Best Chef is made with the safety of kids in mind. First, the manufacturer has ensured no toxic material is used in its production. Secondly, unlike some kids’ kitchens, play foods and other accessories of this kitchen will not pose a choking hazard to toddlers since they’re big enough.
Cons
There is not much to call a counter space on the kitchen. What could have been the counter space is taken up by the sink, the stove top and the coffee maker. A counter space adds additional entertainment value for the little ones. This is something offered in abundance in top play kitchens like the KidKraft Uptown Espresso and the Melissa and Doug Wooden Chef playsets.
