The way to a man’s heart is apparently through his stomach, which is why every man cave should be full of useful food creation devices. Forget the fire risk and get yourselves these awesome cooking gadgets.

The pinnacle of barbecue technology, the Weber Q squeezes a fully functioning grill inside a compact, portable body. Perfect for a Saturday night while watching the footy, yet compact enough to throw in the back of a car for a camping trip, this little cooking rocket is super efficient, cooking up to 100 meals on a single 9kg gas bottle.

Ferrari pizza maker
The only thing better than fast cars are fast pizzas, which is probably what inspired this Ferrari-branded pizza maker’s creation. With its shiny, Ferrari red body and Italian quarry stone base, the pizza oven distributes heat better than an F1 car, creating a perfectly cooked pizza every time. You’ll have to make your own Ferrari sound effects while cooking, though.

Hearty food is the backbone of a good man’s diet. But who has time to sit around as all that sinewy meat breaks down over hours of slow cooking?
