THANK YOU! My 2yo is a climber and a problem solver, and has long since defeated all of our attempts at childproofing the kitchen. She usually just helps herself to food that doesn’t need any prep, but today she hauled a chair into the kitchen, helped herself to a steak knife, and hacked a sunchoke (Jerusalem artichoke) to pieces when I was busy with our other child. I told my husband to look up knife safety for two-year-olds, and this is very helpful!

Having just read your post it was really useful and full of good ideas for safe use of the knife in the kitchen. I just worry about the split second somebody jumps up at the window or bangs on the door whilst chopping away. I totally agree that blunt knives are a danger but 90% of any knives I ever use outside of the home are blunt.

Really fantastic article! I seem to remember Rachael Ray demonstrating a knife set for children that was somehow safety minded. I also wonder if those orange pumpkin carving utensils would be useful with small children. .-= Vicki B's last blog: Genoise Rose =-.
