Does this product allow you to set the amount of batter that comes out with each squeeze? Or do you just squeeze until you get the amount out that you want?

You just squeeze until you get the amount of batter that you need. It's very manageable, however. The hole at the bottom of the dispenser is about dime size so you're not going to get a vast amount of cake batter flowing uncontrolably. You'll have total control over the amount coming out. I especially love that feature in getting the cake batter into the cupcake muffin papers. No mess or fuss. Hope this helps.

That would be nice, if I could set the amount of batter that comes out, but unfortunately the answer is no.

I am starting to think that it makes a difference--if you open the lid while it's mixing/kneading, I often see a huge blob of dough on one paddle and just a tiny string wrapped around the second paddle. In theory, they should combine to make 1 big mass but sometimes they don't. I don't know what the factory setting is, maybe equally opposite each other... I will try changing it next time to see.ALSo, I usually take the paddles off after the 2nd knead and remove the doughball and form it into an oval and put it back inside and close the lid. Even doing this, I still usually get caved in loaf tops!

Either way. Change the "lever" on the left side to Timer and then hold down the button until you get close to the time you need, let up and press it one number at a time. If you go over what you want you have to start over. That's the only drawback. Otherwise I find this my favorite timer and carry it with me so I never miss what I'm timing and don't have to hover over what I'm cooking. Love it and hope you do or will too.

Not sure. I just fill them by hand. It's not that messy or difficult. I think those squeeze stations are overpriced....IMO. I love these pouches!

Hello, this foil cutter does need to be squeezed; however, I wouldn't say very firmly. Also, it doesn't take more than half a turn to cut the foil because of the multiple blades. So, you shouldn't be squeezing for very long. My fiance uses this, does not like cutters that are very cumbersome, and likes this one. I hope this helps.

yes, you can use any batter. however, the best mix to use (by far) is golden malted. well worth the expense. i got it for christmas, and am now hooked. it is wonderful!

Its a MUST to add the wet ingredients 1st and if you add to much flour at once you will trip the automatic shut off. Also there is booklet that explains which "blade" to use for what kind of dough. But if you learn it's quirks it works well. I do wish it was a little bigger so that it could make bigger batches.

You can but you may get some overflow in another square but why would you want only 1? If you are not hungry or have some extra batter, just make them anyway and freeze them in a zip lock bag. Pop them in your toaster and presto, just like you cooked them fresh! Tony I.

I haven't had a problem with the batter thickness - if you're putting pieces of anything into the batter like chocolate chips, then it will collect at the bottom opening and clog - the only time it's been too thick is when I beat in the eggs for a long time until the egg/sugar/butter mixture is thick and fluffy - then it's impossible to use - but I've used lots of mixes with it too and works great - it's still possible to drip a bit with runnier batter, so keep a napkin or small piece of paper towel beneath it

Mine worked beautifully. Probably depends somewhat on how much batter is in the cup. I am very satisfied with the baking results I have had

Eliza , It honestly depends on the amount of batter you put in each cavity. If you put the batter 1/2 way up the cavity they'll rise flush to the pan. 4 inches wide and 2 high deep. Any more than that and they round out of the cavity making the bottoms round.

You squeeze it. In my opinion, it doesn't work. I returned mine to the store.

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

The directions tell you how much to put in. But I just fill it up slowly until it starts to come out other end....messy, but works great. It's not hard to fill the containers, just make sure you are putting it in the right spot. Again, directions make it very clear where to fill up container....there should be a hole opening under the label on the edge.

You spoon the batter into the mold. You have to bake it several times to get it hard. Or make them thin. I think using your own recipes would be the cheapest way to go. The mixes are pricey, but convienent.

Nope. I just use cooking spray (like Pam) every time before I put the batter in. Also, just a helpful hint - a 1-1/2 tbsp measure is the perfect amount for the mini-cupcakes.
