Customer Reviews for Chicago Metallic Chicago Metallic Batter Dispenser - 4-Cup Capacity

Chicago Metallic Chicago Metallic Batter Dispenser - 4-Cup Capacity

Dispense the perfect amount of batter every time with this handy quick-release batter dispenser. The one-handed operation makes it very easy to operate. It has a 4-cup capacity and is ideal for cupcake batter, pancakes and muffins. Batter pours into the dispenser easily because the top has a wide opening. The wide opening also makes it easy to clean. Measures 7 1/4" H x 6 3/4" W x 4 1/2" L. Plastic. Hand wash.

I bought this item before Xmas. It's Great. I love to make mini muffins and cupcakes -- not to mention popovers.
Finally I can get the batter into the pans without messing up the edges and having baked on batter.
Hand washes in a breeze - no issues for me

We make pancakes and waffles all the time at our house. This dispenser is a GREAT find! It works really well, and is a great way to make these with evenly dispensed batter and NO MESS! We had some people over recently and they said they were going to go get their own.
A few of the reviews said this item is leaky or whatnot, sounds like they just got a bad one- I went to the store and tried a few of them out just to see how the springs, dispenser, etc worked. They all seemed to be pretty good, but I still chose the one I thought was best. Highly recommended!!!!

I bought two of these. One as a gift, and one for myself. I thought this would come in handy as I have four kids who love pancakes and cupcakes! Boy, was I dissapointed! I took the stickers off, as they were placed on top of the measuring lines. It says to handwash for better results. I used dish soap and a sponge and the soap took the printed meaurements right off! What's the point of putting them on there if they just wash off?!?!

I purchased this product because I make a lot of cupcakes and pancake batter. I asbolutely love it. It washes beautifully and stores conveniently. I even left batter in it overnight and after using it, I washed it without a problem. I definitely am giving this product out as Christmas gifts this year.

I purchased this for my daughter who loves to make pancakes every weekend and to my disappointment-the handle and thus the bottom sticks-very hard to open and close completely. I have one that I purchased from Avon and it is EXCELLENT-I feel bad that I wasted my money on this one.

I have used it SEVERAL times for pancakes and cupcakes and have had no problems with it unless using a thicker batter. The batter clogging up the spout after repeated use could be a problem I guess, but I always rinse it after using it before sticking it in the dishwasher, so it hasn't happened yet.

Upon first use of this product, I thought it was great. Then I encountered the problem of the lever on the bottom continually disengaging from the pull-back handle. I battled with that off and on through the next few uses.
I was in the middle of making 200+ mini cupcakes when the silver spring piece popped out. Attempting to put it back in, the top part broke off, so now I have a useless batter dispenser. I'm hoping BB&B will replace this item because it really is great to have (especially when you are making the quantity of cupcakes I was making!)

I received this from my registry. My husband is the pancake maker in the house, so he always uses this. He really enjoys the no-mess and ease of use. Tonight, when we went to make pancakes, he realized that, after the last use, the old batter didn't quite come clean from around the dispensing area.
I don't think that the dispenser area at the bottom opens or comes apart, so I had to really, really scrub to get all the old batter out. It was really disgusting! We usually toss it in the dishwasher and, since he always uses it, I had no idea the batter was gunked up in there. The product itself is very useful -- just make sure to really, REALLY scrub the dispenser area.

made with hard plastic. My handle broke after 2 uses.If you ever dropped it, I'm sure it would shatter. Just pulled the handle back on mine and it broke. Might be alright if made out of something more durable.

makes pancakes and filling cupcake tins so easy.........no drips and lots of control on amount dispensed. It would be nice if it held the entire batter recipe to elliminate refilling, but not a deal breaker. I am planning to order more for gift giving.....

Not just for batters!

Needed something that would allow me to fill 2 ounce portion cups efficiently and cleanly. This dispenser was just the trick! I used it with french dressing, italian dressing, ranch dressing and thousand island dressing. It made the process much faster and easier than it would have been with a spoon, ladle or cup with a spout. Can't wait to try it with pancake batter or cupcake/muffin batters.

I bought this four months ago, First I had to scrub really hard to get the stickers off, so hard that the measuring lines came off. I used once immediately after purchase, I tried to use it the second time and the handle will not hold the dispensing mechanism and the "spring" keeps popping out and dislodging the handle, the plastic at the top of the handle were the screw holds the handle in place is cracked, since it's been so long BB&B will not even let me exchange it, This was a waste of my money, but you get what you pay for, If you plan on using something like this a lot, invest in a good one!

This dispenser is perfect for runny batters like cupcake batter and pancake batter. It makes pouring cupcakes so much easier and less messy. I was skeptical at first thinking it wouldn't open and close after the first few cupcakes but it was consistently working well even after two dozen cupcakes.

Lousy pours, not worth money

After reading the positive reviews, I figured I'd give this product a shot to help me make 5 dozen "mini" cupcakes. However, as soon as I started using the device, it was pouring uneven amounts of batter and leaking out of the side of the gasket on the bottom. I
recommend you leave this expensive device alone and rather buy one of the ice cream scoops with the release buttons. This is what I'm continuing to use, and it works perfectly for less money!
