Is 18 months too young for a play kitchen?

OMG I was so planning on getting one for my DS for Christmas, he'll be 1 yr three weeks after Christmas.  We went to Costco and I pointed it out and my hubby convinced me it was a only for girls.  I even pointed out that there was a boy on the box, not a girl.  I really think this is an educational toy and its not like cooking is only for girls yada yada yada.  You know all this.  And this is coming from a hubby who contributes very actively to household chores that are "traditionally" for women.  I'm impressed at how many people are saying they bought one of these for their son.  I will have to revisit this conversation with him.  He really had me convinced.....
Not really contributing to the thread here but just wanted to post that I like that I'm not alone.....

defiinitely for boys too - whenever boys come over they are drawn to all that stuff in my house - the pretend food and kitchen. so much pretend play happens - they have little parties, restaurants, cooking, serving...

Not too young and everyone loves it.

Not to be sexist, but we have a grill.  The boys (friends) seem to be drawn to it more than the girls.
