Introduced in 1963, the very first Easy-Bake Oven was turquoise and came equipped with a carrying handle and fake stove top. In its first year, America's first working toy oven sold over 500,000 units. But even the Easy-Bake Oven would have to keep up with the times. In 1969, an avocado green version was introduced with enhanced features such as a fake clock and even an oven hood. In 1970, avocado green was replaced by harvest gold. And in 1978, a microwave version called the Mini-Wave Oven was introduced. By 1997, more than 16 million Easy-Bake Ovens had been sold!
