October 9 - 15, 2022 WHATS UP! T7 BY MICHELLE ROSE TV Media I f you have fond memories of baking a cake or cook- ies in an Easy-Bake Oven, Netflix has just the com- petition show for you. Inspired by the classic chil- dren's toy, "Easy-Bake Battle: The Home Cooking Competi- tion" debuts this Wednesday, Oct. 12, on Netflix, and it's the kind of stripped-down cook- ing competition that's heavy on nostalgia and light on kitchen appliances, since each dish must be cooked in an Easy-Bake-style oven. Over the course of eight half-hour episodes, adult con- testants go head-to-head in fast-paced rounds. Given dif- ferent challenges that involve cooking sweet and savory dishes, the bakers must use "their most ingenious kitchen hacks to prove who can make the easiest, fastest and most delicious food" (per Netflix). A $25,000 prize awaits the winner of each battle, and one big winner has the opportuni- ty to leave with up to $100,000. "Queer Eye's" Antoni Po- rowski hosts alongside a hand- ful of guest judges, including Jacques Torres from "Nailed It!" and Kirsten Kish of "Iron Chef." Don't dismiss this competi- tion as child's play just be- cause it involves a toy oven. As Porowski explained to Variety: "They [the contestants] have to understand temperature. They have to understand tim- ing. I know this doesn't sound easy, but they have to be inge- nious." "Easy Bake Battle" also marks Porowski's first solo project outside of "Queer Eye" — in fact, he helped pitch and develop his newest series. But don't worry, the Canadian food and wine expert has no plans to leave the long-run- ning makeover show, which was renewed for a seventh season. As for the other star of "Easy-Bake Battle," the oven itself, the popular toy-meets- appliance celebrates its 60th birthday next year. Kenner first introduced the light bulb- powered oven in 1963, and Hasbro, whose eOne division produces "Easy-Bake Battle," continues to manufacture the toy to this day (it has also been upgraded to include a dedicat- ed heating element). "Easy-Bake Battle" lands Wednesday, Oct. 12 on Netflix, but if you like a challenge, you can wait until Nov. 4 — Na- tional Easy-Bake Oven Day in the U.S. — to stream all eight episodes at once.
