If as a parent you’ve dreamt about waking up to eggs benedict or banana chocolate chip pancakes made by none other than your children, then read on.

A brand new Masterchef Junior product range is now available for children who enjoy cooking or want to experiment in the kitchen. Designed especially for children the new MasterChef Junior cooking range recreates the fun and excitement of the hit TV series at home.

Each set includes real cooking tools with kid-safe, non-slip silicone grips and features three unique recipe cards for all levels of experience - line cook, sous chef and master chef - plus one blank recipe card to write your own recipe.

There are five sets in the range including the Breakfast Cooking Set, the Cooking Essential Set, Pizza Cooking Set, Burger Cooking Set and Baking Kitchen Set.

Chiquita Patrizi, spokesperson for Prima Toys, believes that teaching your children about food preparation from an early age will instill in them an appreciation for, and a knowledge of, food.

“It's never too early for kids to start learning how to cook. Good nutrition, learning about ingredients, discovering new flavours and knowing how to follow a recipe starts in your kitchen at home. With the new MasterChef Junior range of products parents can be assured that their children are using kid-safe and kid-friendly products with non-slip silicone grips. Of course adults still need to supervise the cooking process where heat is involved,” says Patrizi.

The product sets come in playful colours and the cooking tool sizes are perfect for a child’s hands. Ideal for ages six plus. The Masterchef Cooking Sets are available at toy stores countrywide. From R599.99
