Baking in an Easy-Bake Oven is a satisfying and rewarding experience. You know what we’re talking about if you had one as a child. If you didn’t, it’s never too late. Pretending to be an adult is fun when you’re a kid (also, the only time it is exciting). And the Easy-Bake Oven provides the ideal recipe for playing a fairly accurate game of pretend. The early models of Easy-Bake Ovens utilized the excess heat from incandescent bulbs to heat the oven — talk about innovation. Dry powdered mixes, sold with the oven and separately, are used to prepare the cookie dough.https://nationaltoday.com/national-easy-bake-oven-day/   Website: http://thisistheconversationproject.com  Facebook: http://facebook.com/thisistheconversationproject  Twitter: http://twitter.com/th_conversation  TikTok: http://tiktok.com/@theconversationproject  YouTube: http://thisistheconversationproject.com/youtube  Podcast: http://thisistheconversationproject.com/podcasts   Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/things-you-might-not-have-heard--2318856/support.
