Perfect Pancake Maker

The Perfect Pancake Maker was a clamshell-style frying pan that promised “restaurant-quality” pancakes at home. Just pour in batter, close it, flip the entire contraption, and voilà—golden, fluffy pancakes without the mess. Sounds genius, right?

In reality, it was a bulky, awkward skillet that only worked if you usedexactlythe right amount of batter. Too much and it spilled out the sides; too little and it burned. Plus, flipping the whole device without spilling was like a kitchen-themed Olympic sport. A regular pan and spatula were faster—and less likely to send breakfast flying.
