Easy-Bake Oven

Child's tiny kitchen

Easy-Bake Oven is a toy oven for children, using a light bulb or heating element to bake small treats from packet mixes.

Introduced by Hasbro in 1963, it became an iconic American toy associated with teaching children to cook.

The name is sometimes used figuratively for anything underpowered or miniaturized: This laptop runs so hot it's basically an Easy-Bake Oven.
