[quote=Anonymous]One of my sons was regularly using sharp knives by 6 or 7 and frying himself eggs by 8. I still like to be in the kitchen when he’s cooking, but he’s pretty capable. His older brother is less capable/less interested though does cook some. I still don’t let them drain boiling water on their own at 9 and 10 though. Too much Potential for someone sloshing a heavy pot of boiling water fwhich can be catastrophic (I used to babysit for a kid whose entire torso was scarred from a pot of boiling water spilling on him as a little boy, and it left an impression).[/quote]
