1. A batter dispenser that will make your pancakes look exactly like the ones on the box. It's also perfect for pouring out just the right amount of cupcake batter.

It hold up to four cups of batter at a time. Promising review: "One of our traditions is for me to make pancakes every Saturday morning. And, try as I might, I couldn't avoid batter drips all around the stove top and surrounding counters.

This little jewel solved the problem. Only the tiniest leakage, and that was into my spoon rest on which I placed it after each use. Easy to control pancake-size.

Cleaned up perfectly in the dishwasher." — Rev Rider Get it from Amazon for $19.19 .

2. A pizza stone to fool your guests into thinking you ordered from a fancy pizzeria. Plop your stone in the oven or grill and preheat at 500 degrees Fahrenheit for 30 minutes, then put your pizza on top, and finally, marvel at the crispy crust and evenly melted cheese.

More than 4,000 reviewers love this one, with many saying it heats evenly and results in a nice crispy crust. This one isn't dishwasher-safe, so be sure to hand-wash it! And don't forget to pick up a pizza slicer and pizza peel while you're at it! Promising review: "I love my pizza stone. Frozen pizzas from the grocery store actually get a nice crisp crust, never soggy like before.

I keep the stone in the bottom shelf of my oven when not in use and it helps regulate the oven temp. I've noticed other things like oven fries come out crispier and less soggy when I do this.
