Coolest Inventions 2004: Cook Smart

SQUARE MEALS

It’s a cook’s nightmare: you make a beautiful cake or lasagna and then struggle so hard to wriggle a piece out of the pan, it looks like a collapsed mess by the time it hits the plate. Enter the Lock n’ Bake pan–a 2004 winner in Hammacher Schlemmer’s Search for Invention competition–which solves that problem with sides that fold down after baking and a flat, removable tray for neater serving.
