It’s autumn: What better time to get the kids in the kitchen?
And what better tools than the Le Petit Chef set from Opinel.
Minnesota Parent’s 8-year-old tester (not exactly a huge culinary-arts enthusiast) loved this stainless steel knife-peeler set.
Each tool encourages proper hand positioning with strategically placed learning rings that prevent slipping.
There’s also a finger guard for added safety.
But take care, Opinel warns: “This isn’t a toy; it’s a knife sharp enough to prep vegetables and help prepare dinner or a snack alongside an adult.”
Supervision is recommended for all ages.
Are you already holiday shopping for the little sous chefs in your life?
This gift set is $49. However, you can buy the pieces separately, too — $35 for the knife and finger guard and $15 for the peeler.
See amazon.com or opinel-usa.com or look for products by Opinel (famous for its French-made folding picnic knives) at Cooks of Crocus Hill and Askov Finlayson in the Twin Cities.
