Campfire Snacks with Coleman’s Otsumami Maker

Coleman is an American brand, but you won’t find this in the states. The compact Otsumami Maker helps take your camping snacks beyond trail mix and smores. Otsumami is a Japanese word often translated to snack, but it can include everything from peanuts to dried fish to seaweed tempura. This product is perfect for making takoyaki, octopus balls, without needing to haul around a huge pan. The non-stick surface makes it easy to clean and ready to use for the next meal.

It’s easy to store and easy to pour thanks to the adjustable handle. Just pour your mix onto a hot plate or takoyaki pan and enjoy!

Reinvent Waffles with D-STYLIST’s Waffle Dog Maker

Waffles have a tried and true shape, but sometimes you have to go beyond expectations and see what you can find. Someone did so and created the Waffle Dog Maker, a strange hybrid between a typical waffle maker and hotplate grill. The Waffle Dog Maker lets you cook six at a time, and imprints the classic waffle pattern on whatever you cook. There are many creative renditions of the waffle dog. Some are just a waffle on a stick, while others include cream and yes, even hot dogs. Let your imagination run wild with this fun item!

The handle makes it easy to carry around and take your taiyaki-making skills on the go. If you are looking for something even more compact, BlueBowl has a very simple device that lets you make two snacks in snap.
