Can you mix the batter in the dispenser or must it be mixed separately?

You can mix one or two cups directly in dispenser if using only pancake mix and water. It is hard to mix up and stir. If adding oil, eggs or egg white, some sort of milk (dairy or non-dairy) and some other item, better to mix separately. Keep batter loose to dispense otherwise it doesn't come out of small whole on bottom.

I mixed my batter separately and then added it to the dispenser. Given the shape of the bottom of the dispenser, I felt it might be difficult to get the bottom of the batter fully mixed. However, to be honest, I have not tried to mix it in the dispenser.

If your cleaner has a separate water and detergent reservoirs, there is no mixing needed. Just pour strait into the detergent side. If only one reservoir then follow the directions on the bottle.

It does not mix so you would need to stir afterwards. We have twins so this machine was a life saver. We've saved so much time and can make formula whenever it is needed.

I don't see why not. I used a regular box cake mix you would get at the grocery store and it worked out great. Just spray the pan really well before pouring in the batter. Good luck!

You may be able to buy dough hooks separately, but the mixer I bought only had beaters. I honestly don't know if this mixer would be heavy-duty enough to mix bread. I find it difficult to mix cookie dough.

You can use pancake mix but not too thick. Add sweetener and do not over mix the batter.

Make sure you completly combine both parts (quickly) and pour it into or onto evenly. I mixed and poured in small batches. Have lots of stirring sticks and mixing cups!

No need to mix mine. Just pour into the proper area and go. Machine does the mixing as it cleans.

Hello! You could use cake batter in the funnel, however the hole is very small and it would be a very very slow pour as batter is thicker then the intended use of melted chocolate. Hope that helps.

Sharon, actually a thicker batter would be better, the slide that is over the hole does not seal so a thinner batter like pancake batter tends to drip out slowly as it sits. This is a very well made dispenser and I would purchase another one in a heartbeat if I needed one.

Not at all. I just put batter in. After cooking I let cool before I use a large spoon to lift them 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

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!

I haven't made just one, but I don't see why not. (who can only eat one waffle <g>) just pour the batter onto the one side. The setting should be the same. Let us know how it works out for you.

Yes, but I would advise making the mix thicker by adding about 1/2 of the liquid ingredients. So if the box calls for 2 eggs, 1 cup of water and 1/4 cup of oil. I would add 1 egg, 1/2 cup of water and 2 Tbls of oil. It's also helpful to use a small scoop to put the batter into the cooker. I think my holds a teaspoon or maybe it's half a tablespoon? It's the perfect shape and size for the cake pop wells. If the batter is too runny it just gets everywhere. You have to experiment a little. Lately the kids and I have been putting canned dough in the cake pop maker, crescent rolls canned dough wrapped around a chunk of cheese. Yum.

You don't have to mix it. The container is a hose end sprayer; it is pre-mixed.
