Best Kids' Cooking Appliances of 2025

"I bought this for my grandkids, aged 3 to 6, and they absolutely love it! I chose this one because it was only $12, unlike other blenders priced at $30. It's not the sturdiest toy, but the kids are really intrigued by how it turns on and off, and the battery life has been great so far."

"My 4-year-old nephew is obsessed with this blender! He loves that it actually moves and allows him to stick toy food inside. It's definitely a hit, and I would highly recommend it!"

"I adore this toy, and my kids do too! The food pieces actually move around when the blender is turned on, which keeps them entertained. It's just a lot of fun for them!"

"This toy is pretty neat! My daughter loves it, but I wish it were a little cheaper since it feels a bit expensive for a one-time use toy."

"I got this for my niece's Christmas gift, and we had so much fun doing it together! I was just as shocked as she was when we opened the oven and found the warm, bread-smelling plush. It was a good toy, but a bit pricey for only 10 minutes of playtime."

"Overall, this product is pretty great! My four-year-old daughter had a magical experience making a bunny from a magic oven. We even bought another one. Just a heads up, though, these plushies have hard internals and a very strong fragrance that filled my car overnight!"

“I bought this for my one and a half year old granddaughter, and she had a blast making fake toast all Christmas Day! She loved presenting it with the little plate, fried egg, bacon, and jar of jam that came with it. It’s a really cute toy that kept her busy!”

“My eight-month-old son adores this little toaster! He enjoys playing with the toast slices and pressing the button for them to pop up. It teaches counting, shapes, and colors while being entertaining. Even after a few weeks, he still finds it engaging!”

“I absolutely love this toaster set! It's well made and offers lots of layers of learning for my granddaughter. At 1 1/2 years old, she enjoys playing with her own toaster and learning numbers while having fun!”

"This is just such a great gift for little ones! My niece loves this toy and enjoys playing with it. I'd definitely buy this again for her or any future kids I may have."

"I got this for my 4-year-old granddaughter for Christmas, and she adores pretending to make cookies and cakes with it. It's perfect for kids! I wish I had something like this in my classroom!"

"My 33-month-old toddler is obsessed with cooking and baking, and this toy has been a massive hit! It can function as a hand mixer or a stand mixer, has an actual motor, and is just the right size for him. The only downside is that the mixing bowl is a bit small for real mixing, but he still loves using it!"

“I got this for my little grandson's play kitchen. It has become one of his favorite accessories. It's sturdy and somewhat realistic. The sounds make it more fun for him.”

“I purchased this toy toaster for my 2-year-old granddaughter. At first, she couldn't push the down lever or turn the timer knob. Now that she’s 3, she can push the lever down but still struggles with the knob.”

“My grandson wanted a toy toaster like mom and dad have. He loves the ticking sounds and the popping of the toast. I appreciate the color and durability. It's a great addition to his kitchen set.”

"I found the Char-Broil Kid's BBQ Set to be an absolute hit in our home! The realistic steam feature amazed my child, adding a fun layer to their pretend play. The complete set with play food and utensils kept them entertained for hours. It’s interactive too, with buttons and knobs that make sounds. Overall, it's a great choice for imaginative play!"

"Though the grill looks adorable, I was really disappointed. It felt cheaply made and tiny, and the height is quite underwhelming. After setting it up, the steam feature didn't work, and I was left feeling let down by the quality. I think I'd recommend looking for something sturdier."

"My son absolutely loves this little grill! He plays with it constantly, and the steam feature is definitely the highlight. One minor issue I've noticed is that the construction of the grill lid can be a bit tricky; it tends to slide off occasionally, but we just snap it back together without much hassle."

"This was my kiddo's favorite gift out of all the presents. It really does run water through it like real coffee makers, and it even has sound effects. We love it!"

"I got this for my 3-year-old for Christmas, and he absolutely adores it! It's perfect for his age, making realistic sounds and easy to use. He used to want to play with our real coffee maker, so we decided to get him his own."

"I find this toy adorable and it has already provided my 5, 7, and 3-year-old boys with a focused hour of play. They enjoy serving drinks and I even added some containers of instant coffee and sugar-free punch for them to have fun with. I do think it would be nice if Black and Decker added some extra cups though."

"I searched everywhere for the perfect kitchen for my daughter's birthday. After looking at almost every toy microwave, I found this one and couldn't be happier. It's the most realistic toy microwave available! My daughter loves it, and other kids are impressed too. The food included is a bit cheap, but the microwave itself is awesome. It did arrive with a slight dent, but that’s just my overcritical eye. Overall, I would definitely recommend this product!"

"When I saw this microwave, I knew I had to get it for my grandson. He has had such a great time with it! It has lots of extras, sounds, and even play food for kids to pretend with. I would definitely recommend it!"

"I'm building a DIY play kitchen and researched toy microwaves. This one is the most realistic I've found. It lights up, has a working turntable, and beeps when the cycle is done. The included food is cute, but I noticed a few small issues: I often need to hold the microwave door with one hand while opening it, and the silver knob can be a bit difficult to turn. Overall, it's an adorable addition to the play kitchen!"

"My niece regularly uses the little mixer for various stirring tasks. It works very well, but unfortunately, the whisk was missing upon delivery. They promptly sent a replacement, which was great."

"My grandkids were thrilled with the mixer. They had so much fun using it!"

"I've previously bought other toys from Theo Klein, and they were well-made. I was pleasantly surprised to find that this kitchen machine can actually mix food in the bowl. It works best with liquid ingredients, which is safer for kids. The machine stops automatically if a hand gets too close, minimizing injury risks. The build quality is impressive, and it seems very durable. Just a heads-up, you'll need to provide 3 AA batteries, as they aren't included. For cleaning, avoid the dishwasher and just wipe it down with a damp cloth. Overall, I'm really pleased with this Theo Klein kitchen machine, and it brings a lot of joy to the kids!"
