Attention: Easy-Bake Oven RECALL
On February 6, 2007, millions of Easy-Bake ovens were recalled due to burn hazards and the possibility of little hands getting caught in the opening. Man, and all this time I thought that was what was SUPPOSED to happen while playing with the Easy-Bake! Product attorneys take note, and please contact me at this blog. Statutes may have expired though.

I remember my friend Nancy in the first grade had an Easy-Bake and every time she made a little cake we'd pull it out and get our fingers burned, or else get them stuck in the oven slot. Plus, I have my daughter on video baking a little Easy-Bake cake, with Mom's voice in the background purring, "No don't touch the door yet, keep your fingers away..." until YOW! she burns her finger and promptly sticks it (finger) in her 98.6° mouth. So, I have a history of burnt Easy-Bake fingers in my family.

One more thing: this product was invented in the 60's as an instrument to introduce little Baby-Boomer girls to the joys of Not Having To Cook. I mean, break open a box of Betty Crocker powder, add eggs, oil and water and VOILA! A cake that tastes great, better, even, than home made? How cool is that, Rachael Ray?
