Dr. Wondertainment's simple MicroCooker appears to be an anomalous easy bake oven, with different branding and colors to reflect the name and appeal to children.

I moved and trimmed your thread summary, since it was taking up extra space in the main forum screen. Try to keep thread descriptions (the text in the little box under the thread title) short so you don't crowd out other authors in the forum listing. ~Zyn

Seeking Greenlights: No

Elevator Pitch: The idea of this is to flesh out a new Dr. Wondertainment SCP that's 'their' version of the easy bake oven that creates anomalous foods.

Central Narrative: None

Hook/Attention-Grabber: Dr. Wondertainment's Simple MicroCooker would be an anomalous easy bake oven that, depending on what food packets that are included in the box are used, would make an anomalous dish that would grant the eater temporary effects. For Example, a chocolate cake mix that makes the eater able to run faster then normal for a short period of time but have an extended period of lethargy to compensate. Possibly a meat based dish that increases physical strength, allowing the eater to do things they couldn't normally but doesn't reinforce their body. So if they were to try and break a wall, they could do it but also potentially injure themselves.

Additional Notes: I know it's hard to write a Dr. Wondertainment SCP, so I'd like criticism or ideas on how I could possibly flesh this out more. That's why I'm not looking for a greenlight yet, cause I would like to get some tips on what I might be able to add or clarify for this SCP and feedback on my ideas for the anomalous property it has varying on the food prepared.

I think that the first place you should start is by thinking of what kind of story that you're trying to tell with this skip. As of right now, you just have a thing that does a thing. While it kinda fits into the narrative created by Dr. Wondertainment, it's still just a thing.

SCP articles are essentially stories. We have logs of anomalous things, but there must be a Central Narrative in order to elevate the thing into something that I'd want to invest time into reading.

Was this thing put into production? Was it just a prototype that someone accidentally got their hands on? How did the Foundation find out about it? What happens to the people that used the item? what has the Foundation done to try and contain it and prevent more of them from spreading across the globe?

These are the thoughts you should be considering. I would also suggest this in-depth guide on writing your first SCP.
