i bought one last christmas for my son, and he loves it. my son is now 3 and still plays with it. hes always `cooking` me something to eat. he can tell me what all his play foods are too.

Yes, that`s why all professional chefs are women. (joking, of course!) My three nephews love playing with kitchen stuff.

I know this a little different, but when my brother was younger he wanted an Easy Bake Oven. Now he is in culinary school! I think the thought is that girls should play with it only because that is `our place` and boys play with trucks and stuff because that is what boys do. Well times are changing and more males are in the kitchen and many men are better chefs than women I think! So to answer the question, no it is for either gender :-)

LOL, great poll..made me laugh this morning. Hasn`t your husband ever heard of Hells Kitchen? I challenge him to tell Chef Ramsey that cooking is for girls only :) Also, if you think about it, most of the cooking shows on now a days are male chefs...oh and my husband is a WAYYYYY better cook than me! :)

nooo the boys like them too! think of all the great male chefs out there in the world! =)) my daughter has one, she plays with it sometimes but mostly she uses it to house a fortress for her pokemon, and other action figures like spiderman lol, or she uses it as a garage for her hotwheel cars lol!> while her little friend that is a boy will play resuraunt with it for hours. he cooks and she tells him what she wants to order and he brings it lol. its really cute actually. i encourage pretend play with the children regardless of gender. now would i buy one for my son? only if he really wanted one. my little boy cousin had toy vaccuums bc he loved to vaccuum and clean when he was little. he`s still very neat one of his better qualities actually lol

lol summerisis.. your right! I wasn`t even planning on buying one for my son but I `mentioned` it when my DH and I were in the store together picking out my son`s birthday gifts and he said `Absolutely not` which made me mad... which led to this poll. lol. If I find a used one for a good deal on craigslist I might go for it but I don`t think I`d spend a ton of money on a new one.. because like someone already mentioned.. it probably wouldn`t hold a boys attention as long as a girls. I still think he`d enjoy it just not for long periods of time. Thanks for the comments ladies! Now I can prove my husband wrong on this topic (yet again, lol)

I got my older boys one but I found they played for it for a while and the novelty wore of. Its been my experience boys are more into building climbing pushing riding etc. They aren`t as into playing imagination type games like house. I mean I am sure some are but doesn`t seem as much as girls.

I tthink boys would play with them But think that it won`t hold their attention as long as it would a girl. My dd had one and my son didn`t pay it any attention.

If you believe that only women should cook and that man arent allowed in the kitchen then yes but if you are like me and feel marriage is 50/50 and men are cooks too and role playing is important then kitchens are perfect for a boy :) My boys and nephews ALL had kitchens and some of the best famous cooks are men! :) Hunter is getting one for Christmas ~ He plays with it at play gorup and it was always the most fav toy to play with around my nephews and it most def was used ALOT by the boys who had them :)

I don`t think. Austin had one when he was little. I went with one that was `boyish` colors - green and cream. He loved it for a little while.
