    Here’s an idea: Spend a couple of hours with your kid on a Saturday afternoon and teach them how to bake REAL cookies in a REAL oven. No burnt plastic smell, no outrageously priced packages of processed shiznit. Behold! The Easy Bake Oven of the future…today!

      That was thing, I did do that with my mom.  After I finished helping her make a sweet potato pie or a pound cake she would leave a little leftover for me to make in my Easy Bake Oven as well.

      It’s entirely possible to do both. I was helping in the kitchen (with baking, cooking dinner, and, less enjoyably, cleaning up) from at least age 4. I also had an Easy-Bake Oven (the 1993 one, although my pan-grabber thing was white, not purple). The Easy-Bake Oven is a toy. Kids like kid-sized things, and there’s something fun about miniature cakes, not to mention toys that make food. Of course parents should teach their kids how to bake (and cook) for real, but that in no way means they can’t have an Easy-Bake, too. Those packets are pretty expensive, though. It’s ridiculous that it costs about the same for a packet as it does for a box of normal cake mix.

      what if the child wants both? My daughter and I bake in the real oven but for some reason she really loves her easy bake as well. I hate the easy bake because it takes longer to than the REAL baked stuff, because each of those little trays (all of the recipes call for more than one) take at least 30 minutes to cook and you only get one tray. I prefer the real oven.
