Do you sometimes miss the childlike joy of making that single cookie in an Easy-Bake Oven? Well, Queer Eye's Antoni Porowski is ready to scratch that nostalgic itch with Netflix's Easy-Bake Battle: The Home Cooking Competition. "It was a long time in the making," Porowski told Newsweek’s H. Alan Scott about the reality series where home cooks compete in both sweet and savory cooking challenges for a $100,000 grand prize, using full-size ovens with restrictions mimicking the classic toy ones. "These innovative home cooks...show the genius stuff they come up with." The contestants' diversity was important to Porowski, an executive producer of the series. "I think in the food space, we have such a wonderful opportunity to tell diverse stories." No matter who you are, "show us who you are through your food...open up that little personal culinary memoir of yours." What does Porowski like to cook in the small ovens? "A classic Easy-Bake Oven is perfect to toast your nuts because they will never burn. They get really nice and crunchy and brown."Visit Newsweek.com to learn more about the podcasts we offer and to catch up on the latest news.
