A 1999 Toy Kitchen That Sits on a PC Keyboard—and Can Play DOOM

Hasbro's 1999 Easy-Bake Kitchen is a plastic kitchen playset that straps over a standard PC keyboard. Moving its measuring cup, egg, mixer, oven door and other controls simply presses real keys underneath, letting children operate the accompanying CD-ROM cooking game through a physical toy interface.

LGR's Clint Basinger revisited the hardware in September 2026 and eventually remapped its controls to play DOOM II. A toy designed to turn a keyboard into a pretend kitchen becomes, decades later, an extremely impractical FPS controller.
