My son asked (every) Santa for a "Big Boy Kitchen" I cook(ed) and he cooks with my mom a lot.
My parents got him the BAD ASS kids kitchen from, I think, Pottery Barn. They, and every one else, got him real, small, stainless utensils, a sauté and sauce pan, lots of food that cuts (Velcro inside) with it's own knife and cutting board from the teacher's store, little food boxes, fruit, veggies, a porcelain tea set (I drink a lot of tea and he wanted a real set instead of his girly play one... he does not like the girly stuff, none of this is)... he is set.
All of this is SO COOL. He puts his little apron on and goes to work. It is the coolest thing in the world!
He was chopping and sautéing carrots yesterday like a dam pro, keeping them on the cutting board with his knife and stirring with a spatula... I ... there are no words.
We did not encourage this at all... it was all him.
