Inspired by the popular children’s toy, Easy-Bake Oven, the contestants will compete in fun challenges that will also put their culinary skills to the test. Antoni Porowski will be joined by guest judges Kristen Kish and Jacques Torres. The Queer Eye star also helped pitch, develop the format, and market the series.

Netflix VP of Nonfiction Content Jenn Levy said in a statement to Variety:

"We got to know Antoni on Queer Eye and we always knew there was more to do with him. He makes food super accessible."

Netflix released the trailer for Easy-Bake Battle: The Home Cooking Competition on Wednesday, September 28, 2022. For the challenge, the chosen home cooks were encouraged to make simple but delicious dishes. The trailer began with host Antoni Porowski giving a brief about the format and saying:

"I'm here to show you that good food doesn't have to be complicated or fancy. And to celebrate the unsung heroes of the home kitchen."

One of the contestants spoke about the format of the show and mentioned:

"We do not give enough credit to the home cooks. I am cooking everyday—that has gotta count for something!"

The Easy-Bake Battle host further stated that the home cooks "will use clever tricks to cheat their way to easy and delicious dishes."

Other cooking shows on Netflix include Somebody Feed Phil, Chef’s Table, Nailed It!, Is It Cake?, and The Big Family Cooking Showdown, among many others.

Speaking about having cooking shows on the platform, Levy told Variety:

"Our food shows are co-viewed by families. The best are the ones where parents are getting as much out of the show as younger kids. We try to find a central question or focus to make [shows] stand out.”

The audience will be able to watch the series with a subscription to Netflix. The basic plan for Netflix is $9.99. If viewers want to opt for HD, they need to get the standard package at $15.49. The premium package cost for Ultra HD is $19.99.
