Easy-Bake Battle: The Home Cooking Competition

I was so excited to see this show in my Netflix recommended. The Easy Bake oven was something I dreamed of having as a kid! I also thought it would be such a neat concept to see how different people adapt to and cook fabulous dishes in the easy bake oven.

The reveal in the final moments of the first episode left me disappointedd. They basically called it an upgraded easy bake. No honey, that's just an oven! I don't get why they would call it that. It's not even a baking show. It's a cooking show, so the title seems really bait-y.

I kind of agree with another reviewer that there is some favoritism going on.

The only redeeming quality is the main judge. He is nice, calm, caring, and funny. This is kind of rare these days. Many hosts on cooking/ baking shows are over-the-top and obnoxious, but I really like his energy!

I wouldn't really recommend this show, but if you got nothing to watch and don't want to really follow what's playing, then this is an okay show for background noise.

The worst cooking show I have ever watched, I do not recommend. Do results of the episodes are completely biased and the results are neither accurate nor fair. If the concept is a competition, the expectation is that competent and respectable judges would accurately provide valuable feedback. If this is not possible, then it should just be a cooking show and it should not be a competition. I could not even finish the show it was so bad. Netflix has to try harder to make quality content to not lose more subscribers, as it seems a lot of their shows these days are just variants of each other with little thought and effort put into it.

I was pleasantly surprised at this show. I was ready to be disappointed, but it was actually very good. The host, Antoni, is charming, playful and also kind. The competitors are amazing cooks and I was really impressed that they were people who just cooked at home. They turned out superior dishes that would rival any "top" chef out there. It's all in the passion. I learned some very clever cooking hacks as well, which was quite cool and I WILL use.

I really do hope that Neflix will bring out a Season 2, because it's an enjoyable show, good concept, and viewers learn a lot whilst having fun watching.

There are some. Comments claiming the judges favoured Giselle when she didn't deserve it. They did not favour her unfairly. She was highly skilled and earned the accolades. People are just being haters or maybe they are relatives of the other competitors, but she earned her winnings! (and no, that comment doesn't mean she won the big prize, I won't comment on that and spoil it for everyone)

Well worth watching, well worth more episodes!

While I like Anthony from Queer Eye, and actually started watching this because of him, I can't help but think that there was some serious favouritism for Gisele for some unknown reason. Other cooks often seemed to have better dishes yet she won again and again. Her lack of humility and constant outpouring of tears and just made her all the more annoying and tiresome. I thought that I would see the show through, in the hopes that other good cooks would be recognized for their talent but with her continuous winning, the show became too one-sided and I decided to stop watching so that I wouldn't see her win.

Hmmm. Well, while I like Antoni, his judging skills are very poor. He seemed to choose the pregnant contestants just because of that fact and maybe she might really need the money... This show overall is so so... Can I finish this season? I'm really not sure.

I absolutely love cooking shows because I love to cook and this one didn't make me feel excited at all. There were only three contestants (Dave, Aprille and Michael) who I would clap for and weirdly enough they added that 'extraness' that should've gotten them to another round but hey, I'm not surprised at all but guess who they chose lol...
