Easy-Bake Oven gets new design, heating element

An old favorite has gotten a modern makeover.

When the Easy-Bake Oven was first marketed in 1963, it resembled a conventional oven that allowed little girls to work alongside their mothers in the kitchen. Today, the oven is back without a lightbulb and with a trendier menu.

Hasbro voluntarily recalled the oven in 2007 after multiple reports of burns, but it has adapted the product to reduce previous dangers.

The redesigned oven temperature reaches about 375 degrees, and the outside remains only warm to the touch.

And the best part? Cooking dinner is just so much more fun in a baby oven.
