derekl_1963The King Arthur Flour company tests an Easy Bake Oven in their test kitchen.
I so wanted an Easy Bake oven as a kid, but I don't think I ever got up the gumption to actually ask for one. Actually, I don't recall my input ever being solicited (at least overtly) when I was growing. Christmas and birthdays stuff just showed up... Some years more than others (depending on whether we had money or not that year), but I was never particularly bothered one way or the other.
I actually started getting interested in food and cooking when I was about 10 or so, but a bad scalding incident put me off from going into the kitchen for years. After I left home, it kind of faded for years, though I did continue to collect cookbooks... It wasn't until about ten years or so back that I got serious about cooking again. I don't even know why, it just happened.
