This is a game changer when making waffles. I recently got a waffle iron. What a mess I made when I tried using the little cup that came with the waffle iron. I used too much, Batter came out the sides. Dripped out. Yikes! You can control exactly the amount of batter that you want and it stops with no drip. I have found that I needed to add a little extra water to the batter so that it will come out of the dispenser. The waffles are still perfect even with a little extra water. Because of this I am not sure how it would work for cupcake batter though, would it be too thick? But for waffles and pancakes it is great.

This is exactly what I was looking for and I'm so glad I finally committed and bought this! I have used it as a pancake batter dispenser but it will definitely work for cupcakes in the future. The only *slightly* negative thing I have to say is that it does not disassemble to clean, so you just have to be extra careful to clean around the spout. It may also not work for super large hands, as the space where your fingers go to pull the handle is a little small but too small for normal size hands.

Perfect for cupcakes and pancakes!I make a lot of cupcakes for parties. This batter dispenser makes the task easy. When I have tried putting the batter in the cupcake liner with spoons and spatulas I always had to clean up batter spills. Also I ended up having batter all over my hands. I find the large opening on the dispenser makes it easy to pour in my batter from the mixing bowl into it. After filing the dispenser, I simply hold it over my cupcake tin/liner and hold the lever on the handle. When most of the batter has gone thru the dispenser, I just scrap down the inside of the dispenser pushing the batter down to the dispenser hole. This works with most cake mixes, however if the batter is too thick the batter will not go thru the dispenser well. I would not recommend mixing fruit or chocolate chips into the batter, as it may clog up the release valve. I have also used this for pancakes and again find it easy to use. I can easily make all the pancakes the same size, and I don't have batter drips on the grill to clean up.Clean up is easy, I just run water thru and open and close the dispenser valve using the had lever on the handle, then use soap and water. I would not recommend putting this in the dishwasher. This product is made of a thin plastic and will could break if dropped.

I have used this for Pancakes and Cupcakes. I have found that while it doesn't "leak" (I have put water in it and not a drip) batter does tend to drip just a drop or two because it gets caught on the underside when the stopper is closed after each time you dispense batter. I just hesitate for a second before moving on the the next pancake/cupcake to give it a chance to drop. It is easy to fill and wash. The measurements are easy to read. Easy to dispense, takes very little pressure and effort. This may be obvious but the thicker the batter the slower it will dispense, and when getting to the last portions you may need to take a rubber/silicone spatula and push the remaining towards the bottom. Only had it for a few months and about 8 uses so I cannot speak to its' durability. Overall it is another dish to wash but if you are doing a bunch of pancakes or cupcakes it is well worth the modest investment to cut down the time it takes to get your batter onto the griddle or into the cupcake pans with less mess.

like most of you, i did some internet research trying to best suit my needs for one of these dispensers. reading all the good and bad reviews for each. I took my chance on ordering two of these at once and so far so good. i wanted to use them for baking cupcakes, not that any of us cant fill the cups with a spoon, spatuala or just pouring the batter and hoping for the best, but one of the reasons for buying was the cleanliness of it all. it is a very clean process now in pouring the batter = A+. no leaks, worked as easy with every squeeze of the trigger and once the weight of the batter was lighten by dispencing, i needed the spatuala to help the remaining out, but that was still cleaned than pouring from the bowl, so no complaints from me but take note both hands may be required. second purpose of purchase was to see if this will dispense chocolate into molds, which i will be testing out this weekend. mfr. does not state the use for it in that way, but i wanted to try this before buying a chocolate dispenser as well. so in attempts as being helpful as reviews were to me, i will update the chocolate test soon.I have no doubts this will be great for any baking batter recipes. easy to use, no mess, no leaks or drips and easy to clean up.

I've only used it once so far, to pour pancake batter onto a pan, it worked great. Easy to use and I had a lot less pancake batter dripping all over the counter and range, as compared to my old fashioned "spoon" method. Kids enjoyed watching me use it, swiftly dropping nice neat circles of batter onto the pan. I can see that the device is a bit delicate, not something to let the kid's play with in their home making center, but very functional and easy to clean. I recommend hand washing rather than using the dishwasher.May 2014 update: Still very happy with this batter dropper. We mostly use it for pancakes but have also used it for cupcakes. Works great, enables me to load the pans with the correct amount of batter neatly and with very few spilled drops. Holds up well to lots of use, adaptable to both thin and thicker batter, easy to clean and has not discolored, cracked or failed in any way. I still recommend hand washing rather than using the dishwasher.
