| The Easy-Bake Oven, currently a product of Hasbro, is a working toy oven that uses an ordinary light bulb as a heat source. The oven comes with packets of cake mix, and small round pans. The mix is prepared in a pan, which is then pushed into the oven through a slot. After cooking, the cake is pushed out through a slot in the other end. This iconic toy was introduced by Kenner Products, a Cincinnati, Ohio based toy company in 1963. Often cited as a favorite childhood toy by women and men alike, Easy-Bake has even served as the inspiration for the careers of celebrity chefs such as Bobby Flay. The early models were designed to look like miniature ovens. Later models were designed to look like microwave ovens. Although falsely claimed by many who wish to have their names go down as part of toy history (and incorrectly attributed in an episode of FoodTV's "Unwrapped" to a deceased Kenner Salesman whose sole contribution to the project was the suggestion that Kenner should make a pretzel oven), the Easy-Bake Oven was the invention of Ronald Howes. He was the man who actually conceived of the design, built the first model, and sold the rights to the company. Mr. Howes also had a hand in many other classic Kenner toys such as Play-Doh, Spirograph, Give-a-Show Projector, Close-and-Play Record Player, etc. [ Visit the complete Wikipedia entry for Easy-Bake Oven ] | Searches on eBayRelated searches on eBay |
