Curious Chef - Review & Giveaway

A cook I am not, but I enjoy baking from time to time. Four out of six of my kids have a passion for cooking and baking, passed on from my mother and my husband. They want to help in the kitchen and be a part of the process.

Curious Chef is a company that caters to kids and their passion for cooking. Their utensils and gadgets are just the right size for kids to use to help cook their favorite recipes. You can purchase them individually or in a kit.

I saw a few of the individual pieces for sale at Shopko. I bought the Whisk as a gift for my 3 year old great-niece. I presented it to her during a housewarming party for her and her parents. I explained to her that with this utensil she can help mommy stir and make goodies. She carried it around the rest of the day stating "I cook with mommy". The whisk has an ergonomic handle for small hands and has soft touch button grips. It is just the right size for kids and makes them feel as though they are an important part of the cooking or baking process.

I received the 6 Pc Cookie Gift Kit for review. Included was a large silicone mixing spoon, a whisk, a nylon cookie turner, a non-stick rolling pin, a bear cookie cutter, a butterfly cookie cutter, a shopping list pad, and a cookie sticker sheet.

I will first off say that I was very surprised with how the size dimensions of the kits actually are. The boxes on the site make it seem that the kits are quite small and come in a teeny box. That is not the case. The items come in a kit that is much larger than it appears on the site. That was a pleasant surprise.

My youngest son and I decided to break out the cooking utensils and make some cookies with them. He liked how the utensils were shaped and designed for kids. They are cuter than some of the utensils I own! We made cookies made in the shapes of butterflies and bears. I let him do most of the stirring and preparing. He was super excited to have made cookies with his own tools. I have put the utensils aside in their own section of a kitchen drawer that is especially for him.

Curious Chef has a wide range of kid-friendly kitchen items that make for a fun cooking experience.

Win It!
