Tips for using Toy Ovens

Read your instruction book, and make sure you know how to operate your oven.
With light bulb ovens, its best to start with fresh bulbs.
Never submerse your oven in water.
Preheat your oven for 15 minutes before using.
Gather your supplies and ingredients before starting. (a timer, pot holders, pans, etc.)
Use a non-slip grip mat under your oven. (I find that most ovens slide all over the counter).
Make sure the food is never higher than the rim of the pan.
Have an adult cut any ingredients that need it.
Be aware that the pans you remove from the oven are metal, and therefore will easily slip off any plastic spatula. Be sure to have a pot holder ready with your spatula, to assist in safely remove the pan from the oven. (I have had a couple of pans slip right off the spatula and onto the floor).
Always unplug your toy oven when done cooking.
Always wait for the oven to cool before cleaning it. (ask an adult for help in cleaning your oven).
