Ele tinha uma aparência sem graça, como comida sem tempero.
Decidi incluir a comparação, devido ao contexto culinário da expressão, adaptando-o ao português.
Ele tinha uma aparência sem graça/indiferente/sem entusiasmo
Explanation:
A frase faz parte de uma expressão idiomática. Veja abaixo
6> “The dame standing at the end of the dimly-lit bar wasn’t very hot, but she wasn’t exactly cold, either. She was lukewarm, like a turkey pot pie in an Easy-Bake oven.

Sorry - I do not understand the joke.
Easy-Bake Oven
The Easy-Bake Oven is a working toy oven introduced by Kenner in 1963, and currently manufactured by Hasbro. The original toy used an ordinary incandescent light bulb as a heat source; current versions use a true heating element. By 1997, more than 16 million Easy-Bake Ovens (in 11 models) had been sold.[1]
The oven comes with packets of cake mix and small round pans. (Additional mixes can be purchased separately.) After water is added to the mix in the pan, it is pushed into the oven through a slot.[1] After cooking, the cake is pushed out through a slot in the other end.

: "an easy bake oven" é uma parte da expressão e não deve ser traduzido isoladamente ou literalmente.
