24. Pancake Pen
I’ve been doing this with my daughter for a few months now, only we’ve been using those cheap plastic ketchup squeeze bottles.

It also works great to fill cupcake liners without the mess. The top and bottom screw off for easy cleaning, and the tip is heat resistant.

This handy gadget not only holds the onion for you (no more stinky hands), but also guides your knife for perfectly even slices.

Don’t know, but it couldn’t hurt!
