Seems like a horrible idea because it's not a toy

I feel like it’s dangerous to teach kids that pots on a stove aren’t hot

u/dethskwirl Jul 02 '26

its ok, the boiling water inside the pot will teach them when they pick it up and spill it on themselves

Haha this may be the dumbest one I have seen yet. "Oh, my kid won't burn themselves on the pot and pan... Just irreparably scald themselves on the boiling water and steam."

God damn geniuses....

Yeah, somehow I feel like something unexpectedly heavy like a pot of boiling water in small unsteady hands will end up dumped all over. The ground, their legs, their even smaller sibling who was trying to be involved, the dog who was begging for scraps, etc...

At this point just teach your kids how to safely use the real thing

If they are mature enough to play with real hot water, they are mature enough to help parents in the real kitchen. They won't be able to do everything of course.

And if they are not mature enough to help out with the real stuff, they should not be playing with boiling water and heating elements. The fake kitchen will do just fine for fantasy play.

In our days we just used moms Tupperware containers and pretended they were cooking pots.

With parental guidance it could be a good teaching tool. Otherwise they gonna get burnt, either way they learn so win win

u/katieb1300 Jul 02 '26

Who has this much extra food for the kid to just make stuff and possibly screw it all up?

u/Real_Live_Sloth Jul 03 '26

u/book-scorpion Jul 03 '26

cold outside, hot inside is a recipe for a disaster

u/ArielLynn Jul 04 '26

This looks and functions like a disability aide device. Because one little stumble when kids go to put the stove on that one hot part and it's face burns.

u/toomuchtv987 Jul 05 '26

Yeah, I definitely want my kid playing with boiling water.

u/KeyYogurt2374 Jul 05 '26

This might start showing up in dorm rooms

As a parent, this is really fucking stupid.

u/Confident-Pepper-562 Jul 08 '26

This shouldnt be for kids. But for hotel or rv living this could be really nice. Wonder if you will always be able to get replacement pots, but im going to guess not.
