Cowboy pistols, won't that turn you into a killer?

Yes, that's how that works.

I turned into Sheriff Matt Dillon, a Texas Ranger (the Lone one), and Lucas McCain, My Superman cape turned me into a champion of truth and justice and gave me the ability to fly. My army rifles turned me into Sargent Fury.

I also turned into Frankenstein, the Wolfman, and the Mummy.

That how I became the tall, honest, brave, fearless, masked, flying lawman in the army who is also a murderous zombie mutant from ancient Egypt that I am today.

Oh, and comics apparently rotted my brains and gave me sexual urges. So, there's that.

Flames, burnt plastic???? From a light bulb?

Kids go through those packets that come with the thing in like a day. Then they ask the question, "What else can we bake?" The answer often turns to the things they have plenty of, like those little plastic army guys. "Yeah, we'll melt him a bit."

The next day the Easy Bake Oven was in the trash.

Your sister wants her Easy Bake Oven back

Not gonna happen.

First, I'm the last of 9, and the nearest sister is 8 years older than me. So, it would have been my Easy Bake Oven.

That thing that wasn't on any of my birthday or Christmas lists.  Bicycle, cowboy pistols, G.I. Joe were the toys I coveted. (I didn't get those either.)

When it came out, the first time I saw the thing (a neighbor girl got one for her birthday), everybody ... I mean, everybody ... said, "This thing's dangerous!" The first time I saw a toy you couldn't play with and didn't want to.

It was after eating those "cupcakes" that I realized uncooked cake mix and cookie dough didn't taste half-bad.

On the list of toys that are bad for kids, this one has a high ranking.

Even this new use makes me think of things erupting into flames, the smell of burnt plastic, and sparks shooting out of vents.

I got the large one so that I have the ability to go for larger footprints in the future AND it also allows me to 'bake' several small boards at the same time if I need to do so.

I was concerned that the edges won't heat to the same temperature as the middle, so the smaller units would not have a uniform heat across the bed and might result in poor solder joint along the periphery of the PCB.

That's remarkable!

The "Easy-Bake Oven" still lives and has a place on the workbench.

Here's the one I bought from Amazon
