[quote=Anonymous]DD has been doing real cooking since she was in first grade, so around 6 or 7 years old. She went to a Montessori where cooking was part of the curriculum, and they were taught how to use implements correctly, which we reinforced at home. I wouldn't hand out real knives to 4 year olds. She can probably stir, mash, dump things into the pot, add liquids, that sort of thing, without any issues. The other thing you can do, is get her started with baking. She can learn to make a variety of things, and it is almost entirely safe. That's how DD started, and she is perfectly capable of taking a recipe and doing everything herself, except putting things in the oven, and taking it out.[/quote]
