This set is sturdy, easy to clean and has kept my daughter entertained since around 15 mos to now almost 3 years old. The little broccoli piece and the carrot seem a bit small, but for me this set was more about the pots and pans.
The only potential downside is that b/c it's metal, it makes a lovely clanging sound when beat like a drum.

Pros: Durable; "food" is made of wood
Cons: Can be used like a loud drum.
