Chef Matty Matheson From ‘The Bear’ On Stuff He Uses To Cook With His Kids
Kids cut-resistant safety cooking gloves(01 of05)

Matheson loves these kids' safety gloves for when they're practicing chopping in the kitchen.

"Rizzo's... not even four, and she loves cutting up vegetables. She has these little pink gloves [that] look like winter gloves ... but you can't cut them. They're kids' chain mail gloves, kind of."

These gloves are highly elastic, lightweight and also come in blue.

"We [also] have those little plastic knives, so she can just work away on vegetables and make a little Rizzo salad. She chops up the cucumbers and tomatoes and green onions, and she just macerates everything and does whatever."

Matheson recommends this 8-piece safety knife set from Jovitec. The nylon serrated edges are safer for kiddos' hands, and the handles are easy to grip.

"Mac's a little older, so he can help me over on the stove and whatnot. I still get very scared every time I lift a pot of boiling water or I'm frying bacon. We have those little step stools that kids use to come up and look and cut and play. It's a little nerve-wracking at times, but you find the sweet spots every day with it."

Matheson uses this 35-inch kids step stoop with adjustable stairs and a safety rail. It can hold up to 150 pounds.

Anti-splash protective glasses(04 of05)

"I try to teach my kids how dangerous stoves and ovens [can be], how dangerous food can be with splattering and whatnot and the way you stir... You don't want to stir counterclockwise, it can make it splash more. You want to always stir in one direction."

To ensure little eyes stay safe when stirring or near the stove (and to help when cutting onions) Matheson recommends these anti-splash protective glasses.

"Mac is always like, 'What part of the animal is this?' 'What is beef?' 'What is pork?' 'What [are] all these things?' You can have those conversations about life and death and ... about eating and why do we eat meat, or why not."

For chopping meats and veggies — and setting the stage for some meaningful conversation about the circle of life — Matheson suggests these dishwasher-safe flexible plastic cutting boards that can be color-coded for different ingredients.
