(More customer reviews)Late last year the Easy Bake Ovens were pulled from store shelves due to a recall and for many months the Easy Bake Oven was unavailable. The created an extremely strong desire in my daughter, and she longed for an easy bake oven. Finally, when they became available once more we bought one.
I also had one when I was a child, and although I have fond memories, I think most Easy Bake Ovens eventually stop being used because the mixes cost so much.
I was surprised that this oven didn't have any real improvements. It still uses a standard 100 watt light bulb, which is increasingly difficult to find due to cfl's taking over the lighting industry (which is a good thing). Once I located a 100 watt bulb, which by the way was the only one in the house, I unscrewed the back and installed the bulb. Next we preheated the oven for 15 minutes. Unfortunately, the second drawback I encountered was that the timer is still fake. Wouldn't it be nice if the child could really time the preheating and the cooking times? Instead, we had to rely on our real oven to time the Easy Bake Oven.
Next, we put the mix into the pan after greasing it and flouring it. That brings me to a third point. With kitchen technology so evolved, why doesn't the modern Easy Bake Oven come with silicone baking pans? They're not expensive, and it would eliminate the need to grease and flour the pans.
Finally, my fourth complaint is that the cooking times are 8-10 minutes, for example, and had the front of the oven had a clear view, I could see into the oven to gauge whether or not the cake was done yet.
Here are the changes I would like to see in the Easy Bake Oven:
1. Eliminate standard bulbs. They're hard to find, especially as a single unit.
2. Add a real timer to the front.
3. Use silicone baking pans
4. Make the front of the oven clear so the baker can see the food cook.
Neither of the included mixes turned out that well, despite careful measuring and following instructions. But, there are a lot of cookbooks devoted to the Easy Bake Oven. I would highly recommend picking one of these up along with the oven.
