Which toy brand first sold the Easy-Bake Oven in 1963?

Kenner first sold the Easy-Bake Oven in 1963.

The toy was introduced by Kenner Products, a company founded in Cincinnati, Ohio. It used an ordinary household light bulb as a heat source, allowing children to prepare small cakes and other mixes in a compact toy oven.

The Easy-Bake Oven became one of Kenner's signature products and was marketed as a way for children to imitate adult cooking. Its design changed over the decades as light-bulb technology, safety standards, and product regulations changed.

Kenner was later acquired by Hasbro, which continued the Easy-Bake Oven brand. That corporate history can create confusion about the original manufacturer. Hasbro is the later owner, but Kenner introduced the product in 1963. The toy is also distinct from real kitchen appliances because its heating system was designed specifically for supervised play.
