Anyone owning the classic Easy Bake Oven will soon find themselves unable to bake their favorite treats, at least in an Easy Bake.
If you have a newer model, you need not worry, other than recalls due to kids getting their fingers stuck in the things, but they actually have a heating element. The classic ones, however, do not, they rely on a 100 Watt incandescent light bulb.
Due to actions by Congress, very soon, when that light bulb goes out, you won't be able to replace it. You see, Congress has banned (hasn't gone into effect yet, but will soon) the sale of all incandescent light bulbs, and they didn't even think to make an Easy Bake exception. All you will be able to use are CFLs (Compact Fluorescent Light bulbs) which do not put off anywhere near the heat of incandescents, meaning that they will be unable to bake your favorite treats.
I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but I thought you all should know... if you have trouble coping with this news, call your Congressperson's office and tell them that this is very hard for you, and you just need them to talk you through it.
