Your 'Easy-Bake Oven' stories..

Kasept · #1 07-19-2007, 12:26 PM

The following link is to a Y! story about the recall of Easy-Bake Ovens that may have a burn risk for young chefs...

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070719/...sy_bake_recall

At the risk of being the object of ridicile and derision, I will admit that much of my culinary career interests/vocation may have been prompted by experiences with a 60's era Easy-Bake Oven that a babysitter used to bring over to the house.. English Muffin pizzas and ridiculous chocolate cakes were the focus of my early gustatory expirementation...

Undoubtedly there are many here who can recount their Easy-Bake successes... and more frequent flops... ???

jesus....no comment.

needless to say, I did not have an easy bake oven....but a friend did and nearly burned the house down when it caught on fire.

I had insurance...no biggie.

Ummm Steve, you don't have to be completely open about all aspects of your life.

Some stories are better left untold....

I honestly did not know that you could do good barbecue in an easy bake oven..

Sure...you just rub the ribs, reduce wattage of lightbulb and run them through about 1,000 times. They really come out great...

I am copying the link to this thread and saving it for the next time someone makes fun of me for waiting hours to meet Christina Aguilera.

Christina Aguilera may be hot, but she is certainly not a "burn risk for young chefs."

So you say.

...uh...I am anxious to see how many here are really going to recount their EasyBake successes and flops...

...this may provide EXCELLENT TopTen fodder...

That's a good start........ Now lie back down on the couch and tell us about some of your Easy Bake creations for your Ken doll.

It is customary to mention who you are talking to since it is not apparent in your post....

.......Mr. Garvin.

At the risk of being the object of ridicile and derision, I will admit that much of my culinary career interests/vocation may have been prompted by experiences with a 60's era Easy-Bake Oven that a babysitter used to bring over to the house.. English Muffin pizzas and ridiculous chocolate cakes were the focus of my early gustatory expirementation...

Brownies! Always good.
Apple sauce...ok.
Toast...better off using a toaster.
I have since gone on to the "Showtime Rotisserie"...the set-it-and-forget-it one. I highlly recommend. Great chicken, ribs, and roasts. Veggies on top.

No E.B.O. for me. I do, however, admit freely to drying underwear in the microwave when pressed for time. Nothing beats putting on a clean, hot, dry-yet-still-steaming pair of of shorts on a cool morning.

That is a pretty good tip. Gives new meaning to "eat my shorts!"
Did you ever try cooking with your car/truck engine?
Wrap some baking potatoes in foil and put them under the hood before you go on a long (2 hour+) trip. If you have room, carrots can be put in there with a pot roast (dry onion soup mix) but be sure to double wrap it and avoid the potholes.
Another tip...you can use an iron to steam cabbage leaves before you stuff them to make golabki z kaputsty (Polish style stuffed cabbage).

No, but I have barbequed on a small Weber in the back of a van going down the interstate. Back door open a bit, front windows down. Worked great.

I'll have to give that one a try.
Heck, I knew a crazy lady that put stuff in zip-lok bags and cooked in her dishwasher, and I must admit that during a Super Bowl game when everyone was ten beers or more, and I'd run out of potato chips and doritos, I found some that were quite old and a bit soggy. Ten minutes in the clothes dryer and they were good to go.
