The ELC pans and utensils are great. We chose plastic because handing my son anything resembling a heavy wooden weapon was a bad idea! But the ELC stuff is very good quality, not flimsy at all. And not pink! We got him a kettle and toaster set from B&M for about £10 - it was a breakfast set so it came with loads of flimsy plates etc which we threw away, but the kettle and toaster are very robust and the kettle makes bubbling and pouring sounds. He loves his tea set more though - you can get the Peterkin one on amazon which is great. Food wise we got the plastic cutting food from ELC which is amazing, and again not cheap or flimsy at all. They do a set of bottles which look like the liquid is pouring out too. This year he's getting some wooden food sets but the plastic stuff is staying because it's been a firm favourite and can't become weaponised!
