is there a silicone type ring to keep the batter from escaping while full? Metal on metal doesn't usually work well. Thanks!!

no it doesn't, has plastic stopper , have only used once with pancake batter with no leaks.

Your batter is not thick enough. I found the product to be excellent . Easily cleaned.

In my experience, the raw egg would probably run out underneath the ring somewhere and all over your pan at least 50% of the time. They just don't make a great seal, and then the edges take quite a while to harden enough to take off the rings and flip it over. I have found the metal rings to be much better-- you can make them good and hot before you put the eggs in so they don't leak nearly as much, and the eggs cook much more quickly, too.

yes, they're just the rings...that spatula looking thing is the only 'bottom' they have. I have used them to bake cakes by putting them on a silpat sheet, but they do still leak a wee bit, and I wouldn't try a particularly runny batter at all. But given that wasn't what they were actually designed to do, I thought they worked rather well.

Of course you can make them as thin or thick as you want just by using more or less baking powder/baking soda mixtures. I have made them up to an inch at the thickest part. If you try to squeeze more batter in, it oozes out the sides and gets into the catch pan.

The beater rotates around in a circle, I guess meaning it has "planetary action." Also, it doesn't actually touch the bottom, so you will need to use a spoon to mix up the very bottom of the batter. And mine is holding up just fine!

I have the same question, because I have been just using the drip/bake pan that came with the box and it was bowing when I was using the convection oven but eventually came back to normal shape. This worries me that it's not made to withstand the heat. I'll let you know if I find anything.

Hey, I bought the same microwave idli rack from amazon and its really fantastic. Best thing is, its easy to wash. I never had this problem of dropping down batter from the holes. I think your batter consistency is not right...I mean your are making batter that is more liquid. Try adding less water to your batter.

I found it a PITA for pancakes. Batter too thick to empty out of the receptacle so it wastes aliot that must be scraped out. Consider a large zip top bag and cut the corner off. And sane time and money

I have a handle holder that is more like a quilted potholder. I leave it on the handle of my pan which I use everyday. I like it better than these silicone ones that can get singed by the electric stove burners.

Unless you're using unusually high heat, completely safe. If you do pull the silicone handle off, be careful handling it right out of the oven, it's riveted to the pan so it will become one with your hand otherwise. Nobody wants to be known as "Pan Hand."

Mine had a pin with a spring and ate holding it in. Almost like how a kitchenaid mixer you add beaters. Push up against the ring with the blade and turn to the notch. Comes off. Look up attach beater to kitchenaid on YouTube. Same concept but much smaller lol.

Make sure your batter isn't too runny or thick. You do need both hands to pull it from the cup stand, but that shouldn't be a problem.

Mine did not come with a rubber ring. I don't know if one is needed. If you feel the lid is too loose, I would think an extra large and thick rubber band would suffice. My bread stays very fresh for many days in this crock, and I especially wanted this crock for the fresh baked artisan breads that don't have preservatives. I'm pleased with mine, but I do acknowledge the lid is on the loose side but I don't really think any air is entering the crock. Hope this helps.

I didn't find this to be a problem since the holder can be pushed down by finger pressure as you go, which lowers the food until there is next to nothing left. However, skinny things like carrots can be trickier to mount in the holder just right so it happens correctly.

The pan has a lip indentation that you can drain it somewhat with the lid held on. You would have to hold it on, and I would suggest very good oven mitts if you are going to try that. However, I have to wonder why you would ask if you can screw the lid on?? It is oval.

I have not had any problem using my silicone holder. I do cook on a medium or low temperature setting.
