Handmade in Germany from durable steel, the pan is built to last and designed with children’s learning in mind.

Why introduce children to fire?

For thousands of years, fire was part of everyday family life, used for warmth, cooking and light. Today, many children only encounter fire through candles or the occasional barbecue. Giving them the chance to explore fire in a safe, supervised way can:

• Teach them to enjoy fire safely and respect its power
• Help them understand risks and dangers without fear
• Prepare them for what to do in case of accidents
• Build awareness of fire as one of the earth’s natural energy sources
• Reduce unsafe curiosity by satisfying it in a safe setting

The Kraul Fire Bowl provides the perfect balance: a contained, stable fire with no falling ash, giving children a chance to watch flames, feel warmth at a safe distance, and practise simple fire-lighting skills together with a trusted adult.

Why introduce toddlers and children to cooking?

Adding the pan turns the fire bowl into a first outdoor cooking set, a brilliant way to spark a lifelong love of food. Cooking with children is fun, but it is also deeply educational:

• Encourages a healthy relationship with food and trying new flavours
• Builds creativity and independence in the kitchen
• Strengthens bonding between parent and child
• Helps develop problem-solving, reading, maths and teamwork skills
• Supports confidence with food preparation and nutrition as they grow

Starting small, such as toasting bread, heating soup or gently frying vegetables, makes cooking accessible and exciting. The open fire adds a natural element that inspires awe and care.
