The Cool Oven: Remember how I bought the Cool Bake oven by Funrise?? Instead of using heat to cook, it uses" cool air". I had to buy it and try it to see if the results were worth bragging about and to see if HASBRO had any competition, Cool Bake Oven versus the Easy Bake Oven.
Result: The Cool Bake Oven did not work at all.
I actually RETURNED it back to the store I bought it from.
Why is this toy so bad? I thought you would never ask.
1) The food did NOT BAKE! AT All. I put my ice in the cubicle, mixed the food the way I was supposed to, with warm water I believe, stuck the food in the oven and waited for it to cook.
I sat there, for 15 minutes, opened the door and NOTHING happened.
So I made a new mix and tried it again. Maybe the ice melted some while I was mixing, I thought.
Waited exactly 12 minutes, as directed in the manual. Used my cell phone to time the 12 minutes.
When I heard the bing, bing, bing of the alarm, I opened up my pretty pink Disney Cool Oven and surprise, surprise, NOTHING!
Nothing! Its like that song in CHORUS LINE - Nothing , I'm feeling Nothing... I had been bragging to my parents about this gadget and how I was going to make dinner using this oven and NOTHING HAPPENED.
2) So I thought ," Hmm, maybe the food is cooked but doesn't rise. Maybe it truly is cooked.
So I took my cake mix out of the container it was in ( I didn't have to use oven mits to take it out because I used "cool technology") and bit into it.
I took one bite and nearly threw up. GROSS! The cake tasted like acid. No, I have a better analogy. You know that taste you get in your mouth when you lick an envelope??? Imagine that taste times 100-- that is EXACTLY what the Cool Bake oven uncooked cake tasted like. JUST GROSS!! Not only was it GROSS, but that taste stayed in my mouth until the next morning and I had cooked the cake around 6pm.
I eat raw cake mix all the time- like Duncan Hines and even THAT tastes better then my supposedly " cooked" coll technology cake.
I was so dissatisfied with this gadget, that I boxed it and returned it to the store .
Only one good thing came out of this: The cashier looked at the toy and stated that it looked like the Easy Bake Oven. I was like, 'Yeah, but the Easy Bake Oven is better. Go get one for your kid.' He replied, " I cant, those ovens have been recalled lately. " I informed him that it was the stove top ovens that were recently recalled, and not the original EZ bake ovens or the Real Bake Eazy Bake Ovens. He seemed happy to hear that. So I'm happy that I helped someone understand the toy recall and hopefully he'll be buying an EZ Bake Oven for his daughter.
Summary: This Cool Bake oven does not work quite well.
