As some of you who have read my reviews before I have a little girl of three and she loves role playing toys like many little girls her age.
We have recently set her up with a pretend kitchen in her wooden play house, mainly with the Casdon range of role playing toys as I have picked them up at reasonable prices from TK Maxx. I brought the Casdon Hotpoint 477 Cooker for 14.99 from my local TK Maxx about 4 months ago.

I brought Isabella this Casdon cooker as it was similar to our own cooker at home and also was a smaller size than any others I had seen at the time which is what I needed as her playhouse was getting limited for space.

The size of the oven is approx 24 x 25 x 30cm and is white in colour with a ceramic type hob with four hobs that really light up.

**** a slight warning with this feature, explain to your child that although their cooker lights up and is not hot....mummy and daddy's cooker does get very hot when lit up, I say this as my daughter although did not burn herself was a little inquisitive why her cooker did not get hot and ours did******

It has a grill/top oven and then a bottom oven with rack inside for your trays. Also provided within this set is a few tins and saucepans and a few bits of pretend food such as a chicken, sausages etc. which I think is a really extra bonus and normally you have to buy a lot of this seperate. It has realistic cooking sounds too that come from it which my daughter loves.

It came already put together so you just have to put in the batteries, so was easy to set up and ready to play with straight away, much to my husbands relief.

I do think this cooker is on the smallish side and there are defiantly better ones on the market dependant on how much money you have to spend and also how much room you have in you room, bedroom, playroom etc, but this was perfect for us as we have limited space and is a handy size for toddlers.

Its quite sturdy and good for toddlers abuse!! although I would say to be careful with the doors from the grill and the bottom cooker as they are a little flimsy and could be pulled off with a bit of force, luckily our little cooker is still in shape as she has been very carful with it, but she is not always that careful.

It's also very easy to wipe down; we have had many experiences with this when Isabella has often made her specialities of roasted cornflakes and wotsits a la king!!!
