I really want to be in love with this set. I bought if for my 18 m.o. daughter and am finding that I am not feeling so 'free' about how she plays with it. In all fairness I just didn't really think it through. I prefer wood to plastic for many reasons, but I find that I don't really want her to get it wet or put actual food it it because it seems like the kind of thing that you can never truly get clean. (I've had this experience with wooden cutting boards). For some families this may not be an issue, but we have our daughters kitchen set up in our actual kitchen and she is always dumping her water, smoothies, etc. into her kitchen toys. I may just be kind of control freaky but I don't even want her to touch the salt and pepper shakers with her dirty hands. (she loves loves loves them and wants to have them with her when she eats)...but I do let her and then give them a good wipe asap. These pieces are not finished, I think, which in regard to toxicity is great...but if you are interested in actually getting them wet and clean it poses a problem. I'd say if you are purchasing this with no intention of getting it dirty or wet then it is a 5 star purchase. Also, these are definitely not (and don't claim to be I imagine) dishwasher safe. Our nanny didn't really think it through and ended up washing the ladle and the pot in the dishwasher and they COMPLETELY FELL APART, as in they warped and came totally unglued. (with only one wash). So don't make the mistake that we did. We are now left with only half a set. That being said...my daughter really loves it and play(ed) with the pot and pan often...and is just starting to get interested in the spatula. I will probably look for BPA free recycled/green material for future purchases. I claim full responsibility for our oversights though and continue to think Hape is a really great company with good products.
