Don’t waste your hard-earned cash on those advertised pancake dispensers when you already have one—you just don’t know about it. If you go through ketchup quickly, save one of the containers aka your brand spankin’ new pancake batter dispenser. We can’t take credit for this fantastic idea as Real Simple shares this brilliance waiting to happen via condiment bottle on your griddle. With proportion control, you can create large pancakes, baby pancakes, and if you’re feeling fancy, why not recreate Mickey Mouse on your stove? If you need to get real specific with your design, especially when making Star Wars pancakes, this is the perfect upcycling solution ever. No more drips or mess on your stovetop and clean countertops. Easy to squeeze with a perfect pouring speed, consistency is all you or your griddle will ever know. Breakfast couldn’t get any easier (especially with those waffle iron hash browns). You’ll of course want to wash out your empty ketchup bottle before filling it up with batter. If you’re looking for super efficiency, grab up a funnel when pouring your batter into the empty bottle. Plus, cleanup is easy; fill up the ketchup bottle with warm, soapy water, and give it a few good shakes. You can handle that.
