IKEA Starter Kit?

Posted by sheeats, January 10, 2008

I'm considering buying an IKEA "starterbox" for my youngish cousin, who's about to move into her own apartment after living with the 'rents for a while after college. She's a novice cook and probably won't be doing much actual "cooking," so I'm really just looking to get something fairly utilitarian for her.

Has anyone ever bought one of these? Are they actually halfway decent? Or will I be throwing $90 down the hole? The knives in particular kind of frighten me -- they look like they'd dull after one use -- but, again, this is for a Spaghetti-O's type chick. Thoughts?
