Aluminium Toy Cooking Set, Bangladesh

While the full size aluminium cooking sets are widely used all over the world because they conduct heat very well, and are inexpensive and long lasting, this little set is not intended to be used to heat food, as this would make it very dangerous. Instead, as a replica of the adult version, it is used to give children hours of fun playing at being cooks.

By the toys is the label from the original packaging, which shows a child playing with the toys, and a woman using (bigger) aluminium cooking utensils.
