Never mind the Easy Bake oven; what’re they going to put inside REAL ovens so one can see the food?

The newer Easy Bake ovens don’t use a light-bulb. Guess if you have an older one you’re screwed.

It’ll only take 12 hours!

My oven was actually on the fritz at Thanksgiving, I used my toaster oven until my hubby got it to come on. A repairman replaced the coil on Christmas Eve morning.

You can only make a light meal with an older Easy Bake oven. ;)

Cadbury is right; no more light bulbs in the new ones.

Been There! Boy was my wife pissed.

Eve should have suggested to the kids that now was a fun time for them to play Kitchen while she sat with the guests.

I’m still amazed that those things work. My sister and a girlfriend had one. The Chow wasn’t too bad, but that was over fifty years ago, so you know my memory may be a little fuzzy.

Propane stove? She must be either camping or in a mobile home? I know they have come a long way, but I am not sure if a MH can accommodate 13 people. Yeah, I know, cartoon physics

No light bulb for the Easy Bake. Or the real oven.How in the world are we going to know if the fridge door is open! Flashlight?

Appliance and other specialty bulbs are exempt and will still be available. Many RURAL homes use propane where there is no natural gas infrastructure.

And this is why you should always have a charcoal grill.
