Product Description

Editorial Reviews

Finally, kids get to do some outdoor cooking! For years there have been plenty of play stoves and refrigerators, but now kids can practice grilling and use their imaginations to whip up a family picnic. What’s more, this special grill is a delightful companion, with its grilling sound effects, cheerful voice, and more than 50 phrases (e.g., "Come and get it," "Fire me up," "One hot dog coming up"). To activate, simply press the "ignition" button, turn the temperature dial, press the grill surface, or lift the grill top. Ideal for encouraging creative play, the Magic Grill lets kids flip burgers, grill buns, throw on a hot dog, turn up the gas, and, of course, share the makings with friends and family. --Jane Snyder

4.0 out of 5 stars Definately "doable" for a 3 year old!, November 14, 2002

This review is from: Magical Talking Grill - Bobby Q (Toy)

I bought this toy for my son's 3rd birthday. He is a typical boy, not too patient or gentle with his toys. But honestly, he LOVES his Magic Grill. After reading the previous reviews, I almost didn't buy the Grill for him, but he kept asking for it, so I gave in thinking that I could "doctor" it up a bit if he became frustrated. The lid doesn't come off too easily, only when you yank on it, or throw it back. And the food is easily flipable. If he doesn't want to use the spatula, he uses his fingers. He hasn't had a moment of frustration with it. The only thing I don't like, is that it needs an OFF switch. Because he does seem to "magically" start a conversation all by himself sometimes. If you follow the age recommendations, 3 and up, I'm sure you will be pleased with the Grill!

4.0 out of 5 stars looks better on a television commercial!, September 27, 2002

This review is from: Magical Talking Grill - Bobby Q (Toy)

We cook out alot as a family, so we thought that my little boy, who is 2 1/2, would love this toy. Sure enough, when he saw the ads on TV he really wanted to have it. We bought the grill, brought it home and had fun with it at first. One of the downfalls is that the plastic food and utensils are so slippery that the food falls off of the spatula and makes it impossible to "flip" the burgers (even for parents who want to demonstrate). Even after being quite persistent and dropping the burger several times, my son got frustrated and disappointed with this.
Also, when lifting the lid, it must be put back very gently (2 years olds rarely know "gently")or it falls off the hinges. It falls off much easier than it is to put back on!
Cute idea though, and my son loves to take his grill outside and "cook" with daddy!

I dont know what the bad rap is on this toy it is very durable and the lid fit great on the one i bought i guess it would come off if you yanked at it but if used in the way it is suspose to be used it work just fine i would recomend this for any little chef!
