Mysterious cosmic ray named after Japanese goddess Amaterasu confirmed second most powerful 6 views The Japanese cooking gadget maker has an uncanny ability to know just what we want to help us achieve our home chef ambitions, and last year they created the Pie Maker, a handy little plug-in machine that let you cook a pair of mini pies.
