In 1979 I was engaged and we purchased our first home that year.

However Easy Bake Ovens were around way before 1979 and I do remember wishing that I had one when I was young. I never got one.

I had one probably late 60's. A turquoise one. Yep cooked brownies and pies on a light bulb. But we did like them.

I remember playing with one probably early 60s. There was also little boxes of cake mix too. Don't remember the color.

My daughter was born in 1979 so I was playing with the real one then 😁

I had one, it was turquoise, loved playing with it. I had a 'kitchen' in the basement of our house that my uncle built for us...lots of hours in that basement playing 'house'.

I had an Easy Bake as a little girl. I remember it was so fun watching the goodies cook.

When I was young, I wanted an Easy Bake oven. My best friend had one, but I was not allowed because we had a "real" oven in our home that I could use.

We had a gas stove and oven. I remember making cakes when I was about seven years old by myself. I was afraid to light a match and hold the flame near a little hole in the gas oven to light it, so I used a piece of spaghetti and lit it on the stove and held the flame near the hole while turning on the gas to light the oven.

I can't believe I was allowed to do that. We lived in a quiet neighborhood with very little,traffic and I was wasn't allowed to cross the street, but could light the oven. Go figure.

In 1979 I was already out of college and working at my first job. I would say it was more circa 1965

I was born far too early to have one of these ovens! When this oven arrived, I had a hubby and two kiddos and used a real life oven.

I have my mother's version of an EasyBake oven-it's in my attic, my mom was born in 1922. I never had one-and to date-I still hate to bake!

I live in an apartment in NYC with a typically small kitchen and small stove/oven. I usually refer to it as "my Easy Bake oven."

Just did a search and the Easy Bake Oven in that image is associated with the year 1963, not 1979.

Sadly, I never had one either when I was a child.

Always wished I would get one of those for Christmas and never did. LOL

Santa brought me a knock off version. It didn't light up, and came with fake cookies!

The reference to 1979 is a joke because of how long it took to bake by the heat of a lightbulb 💡

I wasn't interested in one as a kid but I doubt my mother would have let me have one anyway.

Easy Bake Ovens were as coveted in the 1960's as the cotton candy machines .

We all wanted to eat cookies and cotton candy when ever we wanted.

@Bookplate When we lived in Brooklyn we had a 20 inch stove. When we moved to Westchester we graduated to a 24 inch stove. Finally last year renovated and graduated to a real 30 inch stove

@I am still oxox I am jealous! Although I am pretty good at gauging what fits into a 20 incher by now.
