Can you use this dispenser to hand mix your pancake batter or do you need to use a separate bowl and then transfer the mix before dispensing?

No, I would use a separate bowl to mix and then transfer for dispensing. It is so easy to clean and no dripping from the bottom. I love mine!!! :)

I would recommend using a separate bowl. Although you could probably mix in it.

I would say you probably should mix the batter in another bowl. Then pour it into the dispenser.

The one time I used this, I mixed the batter and then put it in the dispenser. I was making cupcakes --- and it worked great until the mechanism that allows the dispenser at the bottom to open, broke. I tried to fix it, but evidently I don't have the expertise. This is a great idea -- just not as sturdy as it might be.

I haven't tried it, but it should work - particularly since most pancake batters don't recommend over-stirring. It doesn't work very well for viscous batters, but pancake batter has possibilities. I use a 1/3rd cup measure but as you probably know, this is often a messy process and this dispenser could help solve that problem.

You would just not use the divider sections. Although I have never used it this way I would think it would work just fine as long as you spray the pan.

It is a KitchenAid bowl, which I got it for my bride to use as an all purpose bowl for hand mixing. The handle is useful and she has used it to make cake batter, salsas and sauces. i imagine it will work with the mixer which is the next purchase as a birthday present for her.

No. It works like a strong blender with pouring dispenser only. Note-- but it works great! Bought 2 for a party so we could serve different flavors.

When making a standard size cake mix the dispenser can hold all the batter but 1 cup. I find this dispenser very helpful that being anytime I want to fill anything with something, for example pumpkin pie batter into small little tarts I use this dispenser, because when U release the lever the FLOW STOPS no mess. I hate mess I do not like 2 cook but this dispenser prevents mess & is easy 2 fill & clean

Yes. It's called a "batter bowl" because it is good for that type of mixing.

It does work when mixed with flakes. Just make sure flakes are not big. I did break them down so they are not clogging the dispenser outlet :)

Purchase the electric mixer. This beater is for looser batters - such as scrambled eggs, French toast...any liquid. It won't work for anything stiffer than pancake batter.

Yes, if you do not hold the pan close to the outlet of the dispenser, the granules of any powder can bounce out. Same was true with the tin pan that came with my scale, but there is a little more bounce, I suspect because this is plastic. The best benefit here is the built-in funnel, lots of time saved by not having to hold a funnel over the case.

It will not work with any additives to the batter. You do have control on how much to dispense. A little or a lot.

a hand mixer you might use to make cake batter-it usually has removable beaters. A hand blender has small blades (like a regular blender) and it is used to emersion blend soups, purees.

no only the yellow mixers do. there's three options on the button: off, constant mix and mix when the top yellow button is pressed. plus the whole pink mixer comes out of the stand and can be used to "mix" in any bowl. and the bowl comes out of the blue stand as well.

Check out the video on this item at Everythingkitchens.com, it will show you how this works. I hope this helps. It is a great mixer.

I have a Kitchen-Aid 2-beater hand mixer and it works beautifully. You just insert the whisk and turn it on. Amazon is great about returns if it doesn't work out.

You probably can. But I wouldn't recommend it. Especially if the mix req lots of wisking to get the lumps out. The dispenser isn't that wide

Use the dough hook for cookie dough. It works just fine. You might have to mix for a bit longer. I'm 73 and love the fact the mixer is light weight, stores on top of a cabinet and the bowl is light enough to allow me to pour and push things out with my limited strength. Pat H. Green Bay

I have the same mixer & love this bowl. The handle is so convenient for taking it off the mixer & pouring the contents into a pan. Suggestion-get the extra cover that you can add ingredients while the mixer is going. Works great. And plastic storage lid (not sure if this came with the bowl). Enjoy.
