How to Change the Light Bulb in an Easy-Bake Oven

The Easy-Bake Oven is a popular toy for both girls and boys. First introduced in 1963, the Easy-Bake Oven enables children to safely cook real food such as mini-cakes and cookies. Small items are cooked with heat generated by a light bulb encased in the Easy-Bake Oven̵7;s housing. Although the style and color of the Easy-Bake Oven has changed over the years, the light bulb cooking mechanism has remained the same. Replacing a burned-out light bulb in the oven requires only a screwdriver and a few minutes.
