Tovolo 80-4784 Pancake Pen 3-Cup Batter Dispenser Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I picked this up after reading the reviews at Williams Sonoma. I never thought a gadget such as this would come in so handy! If you ever tried pancake molds and they didn't work out so hot, try this pen. It really keeps things clean and it works for all types of batter (cupcake molds, etc.). If you don't finish the pancake batter, simply put the cap on and store in the fridge for the next day. Clean up is simple... dishwasher safe. Love it!

Liven up a beloved breakfast tradition with help from this ingenious batter dispenser. A fast and fun way to create custom pancake shapes and patterns, the unit's flexible plastic sides and contoured design offer a comfortable hold, while its silicone nozzle resists heat up to 600 degrees F--which means it won't melt or warp even when used directly on a sizzling skillet. Furthermore, the batter dispenser's removable top and bottom caps enable easy refilling during use and fast cleanup when through.
To use, simply fill the dispenser with the batter of choice, screw the lid tightly down, and invert over a griddle. Squeeze the batter into letters, numbers, or even ambitious pictures and scenes as desired, cooking and flipping until golden on both sides. Marked with measurement lines that allow for mixing batter directly inside, the vessel's clear-view sides make it a breeze to see its contents and ensure that no flour or baking-soda lumps remain. It can also be used to cleanly fill muffin liners, cupcake molds, and other pans with precision. Safe for use in the dishwasher, the dispenser holds up to three cups of batter and measures 2-3/4 by 2-3/4 by 11-1/4 inches.

Tovolo Muffin/Cupcake Pen Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Despite the excellent concept, this muffin/cupcake pen does not deliver. From start to finish, it was messy and wasteful. Since the whole point of the pen is to be neat and clean - you know, dispensing perfect little portions of batter instead of messing with the spoon and big globs of displaced batter - it has to actually be neat and clean to be worth the money (and space in your kitchen, and time to clean it every time). It is, unfortunately, not neat or clean. It's a hot mess!
First, you fill up the base of the pen with batter. The base is medium sized, but not big enough to prevent globs of batter from falling onto the counter as you fill it up. Also, the pen is not big enough to hold all of your batter (I made 12 muffins), so you'll need to refill it. Your hands will be sticky from filling up the pen in the first place, so this is not a "clean" operation. Second, you fill up your muffins from the tip of the pen. This worked well for about 3 muffins and then the pen started to make a noisy suction sound as it was filled with air bubbles. Messy spurts of batter emerged, and other times it took quite a bit of pressing and shaking to get more batter out. It was HARD to get the batter out for nearly half the muffins!! Then you refill it and repeat. Then you have to get out the spatula and scoop out about another muffin's worth of batter from the pen, because it won't come out on its own - and my relatively small one was not small enough to get out all of the batter, so some was wasted. Add that to the wasted batter from the counter when I was trying to fill the darned pen. Then you get to clean this messy, sticky greasy thing...and then find a nice tall space to store it. [I'm willing to pay return shipping to get this thing out of my kitchen!]
So, in conclusion, stick to the old spoon/mini ice-cream scoop/measuring cup and keep measuring those muffins the old fashioned way. Sure, there might be a bit of a mess, but there will be JUST as much of a mess with this cupcake pen, probably MORE. And with your simple spoon, at the end of the operation, that's all you have to clean and store...a spoon.

Chicago Metallic Baking Essentials Cupcake/Batter Dispenser Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I was amazed by the quality of this product. I'm a really messy baker, and there was no mess at all. You have full control of how much batter to dispense, and the best part was that the bottom didn't even get messy like I expected! As soon as you let go of the handle, it stops everything, not even an extra drop. It was the fastest and cleanest I've ever made cupcakes in my life. And very easy to clean too! I couldn't think of one bad thing to say about this product. I'm so impressed.
