If you let your littles help you in the kitchen, how old were they before you let them do anything on the stove?

My 8 year old helps me cook. She uses the stove, knifes, and everything else basically, obviously I’m right there and monitoring her. My two almost three year old also helps. She drags a chair over lol

I've let me 5 year old, 4 at the time help stir mac and cheese on the stove. Hes also helped pour scrambled eggs in the pan and stir that but it scares me so unless he pushes it I dont

My 11 year old started out at 8 scrambling eggs and making grilled cheese with supervision. She cooks independently now for the most part and loves to make desserts from scratch.

Can I just say that my sister had my niece using the microwave at 5 years old and cooking on the stove top by 7. by the grace of God she was never hurt but my whole family always cringed when she bragged about this and tell her it's a horrible idea

My daughter gets overzealous in the kitchen so unless she's mixing a batter for two minutes I don't ask for her help 😂

I let my 7 year old stir and season with supervision. She takes it very seriously.

8 with adult supervision still.

Edit: I do let them both use the microwave by themselves.

Kaysen helps grandma when she cooks food he has been doing it since he was 3, kooper try’s and she has let him stir once last week.

but we’re not ready for him to be helping yet!

For me I don’t let them help much when it comes to the stove and hot stuff I can’t multitask like that😬😂
