Meet the Meatball Master Your New Favorite Kitchen Tool
Meatballs for a crowd sounds like a lot of work, doesn’t it? Unless, of course, you have the Meatball Master. The Meatball Master turns two pounds of meat into 32 meatballs easily and not only helps you shape them but gives you somewhere to store them, too.
