We’re not sure if there’s any genuine statistics out there to determine just how many times an attempted pancake flip goes awry, but we reckon it’s pretty safe to say that it happens more often than not.
Even those who’d consider themselves expert pancake flippers aren’t immune from making a mess of things every now and then.
If you’d consider yourself more on the accident-prone side when it comes to flipping pancakes though, then we’ve found a genius gadget on Amazon that’s sure to make life a little easier next time you fancy something sweet for breakfast.

According to the product description on Amazon, the mould is made of food-borne silicone so doesn’t give off any unpleasant odours, it’s strong but still relatively flexible, and is resistant to heats of up to 230°.

In order to see best results when cooking, it’s advised that you use butter or oil in the pan to prevent both the mould and batter from burning, and it’s also suggested that you use “a slightly denser batter than you would make for Pancake Day” if you want to easily make delicious pancakes with this mould.
The mould also comes with a more in-depth set of instructions.
It’s also really easy to clean too as it can either be soaked in hot soapy water for 10-30 minutes, or just placed in the dishwasher.

A video demonstrating just how effective the mould is at cooking and flipping pancakes, poached eggs, mini omelettes and more, has also recently been shared on social media.
The video went on to amass hundreds of views, interactions and comments.
The mould is retailing on Amazon for only £3.51 + FREE delivery and it also has hundreds of positive reviews from plenty of satisfied customers over the years, so if you’ve been wondering whether it’s worth the buy or not, then it might be worth having a read of a few of those to help make your mind up.
It’s also listed on the Amazon Best Seller list too.

One in 10 Brits are fired or disciplined after their work’s Christmas party, new survey finds
Emily Sergeant
We’re in peak office Christmas party season right about now.
With just under two weeks to go until the big day itself is here, many businesses across the UK are treating their staff to night out to celebrate both the festive season and all of the hard work they have been putting in throughout the year… and as you can expect, these are usually quite eventful gatherings, shall we say.
But now, a survey by has shed light on just how ‘eventful’ they actually are, as a new survey has revealed that, apparently, one in ten Brits face some sort of disciplinary action or dismissal due to their behaviour at Christmas parties.
The study was conducted by After Drink, and included more than 2,000 participants.
During the research, it was highlighted that 89% of employees admitted to drinking alcohol at these events, Lad Bible reports – with 65% of these confessing that they drank “excessively”.

There are a multitude of incidents which could lead to disciplinary action in the workplace nowadays, but according to the survey, some of the common reasons following festive celebrations with colleagues included inappropriate comments (23%) and even getting into fights (21%).
16% of these incidents were because of drug use during the event, while inappropriate interactions with colleagues accounted for 14%.
Some of the legal reasons you can be fired from your place of work after a Christmas party include gross misconduct, drunken behaviour, and fighting of any kind.
Despite all these risks, however, Christmas parties still remain as popular as always, and a whopping 79% of respondents said they are planning to attend theirs this year.
