Easy-Bake Ovens

Did any of you have an Easy-Bake Oven growing up?  If so then you should know that today is National Easy-Bake Oven day.

Private Home Health Care thinks it’s time for a bit of nostalgia.  

You might recall getting that shiny oven as a present as a child.  It was just the right size.   

Along with the oven you got powdered mixes to make small cakes or cookies.  There were small bowls for mixing and little tins that fit perfectly into the oven.

Your parents would need to help you plug it into the outlet for safety.  After that it was up to you to do the mixing and the extra heat from light bulbs to do the cooking.  

You’d need mitts of course to take the hot tins out of the oven and then it would be time to taste what you created.

Your memory could be like ours of a delicious treat to be enjoyed with a nice glass of milk.  Joy and pride were the feelings of the day. 

It was such fun that you couldn’t wait to do it again!

The Easy-Bake oven was such a great way to spend an afternoon as a child.  In 1963, it was so well received that during its first year it sold more than 500,000 ovens!

Today the Easy-Bake ovens look a bit different but they still come with mixes and tools for baking so if you have any children, we hope you let the baking fun begin!

Bon appetit!
