[quote=Anonymous]My just turned 5 year old has been using a sharp paring knife to cut fruits and vegetables for over a year now. We started with soft things like avocado and banana and have worked up to hard things like carrots. Her older inking started around the same age and at 7 uses everything but our largest chefs knife. (They both used dinner knives to cut softer things and helped with stirring and measuring starting around 2-2.5) They help at the stove, stirring and putting things in the pan. The older one has put things into and taken things out of the oven. Both know what it feels like to be splattered (just a drop or two) with something hot and how to be careful. [/quote]
