Does anyone have any experience using this to pour maple syrup as I'm still looking for the elusive east-to-use syrup dispenser . . . TIA

C. Franceschelli, The OXO dispenser is perfect for pouring syrups etc. However, you will have to wipe the tip of the dispenser off after each use. An olive oil glass bottle may be more affective.

I haven't used it for that purpose, I use mine for salad dressing, but the opening is fairly wide, has a nice rubber gasket at the opening, the handle at the opening is easy to use - I think it would dispense most liquids very well :) The only thing I can think that would be a problem is if the the maple syrup is REALLY thick (more like honey)- this isn't a squeeze bottle so if it doesn't flow out on its own it would be more challenging to remove.

My main use is to microwave syrup for pancake breakfast. An occasional drip is noticed after use. I just experimented with water--a definite drip; with milk there is a drip as well. Depending on the thickness of what is being poured, a drip may occur. Hope this helps.

It seems fine for pouring. I make smoothie every morning and pour into fairly small-mouthed cup with no problem. The smoothie also varies in thickness, which does not seem to matter.

It is produced as a liquid soap dispenser, so the consistency of the liquid is really the issue. If you used something more water-like in viscosity, the pump might not work as well. You wouldn't know until you tried it. Of course, if the liquid shampoo or conditioner or other types of liquid soap used were of a very high viscosity (more like molasses), then the pump might clog. We had a kitchen liquid soap dispenser where we had this problem - we bought liquid soap we thought the pump would use, but it was too viscous and the pump did not work correctly. I'm sure this applies to the pump in this product.

The mesh strainer is very fine. It might work if the syrup was warm and thin.

I think it might be too narrow for thick liquids. Syrup would probably pour but not sure about honey. It's the size of a pour spout you would see on bottles at a bar.

Yes, you have to be very careful in pouring I have had it work just fine and other times (when I am in a hurry) it can get messy. Sorry!

When I make our slushies I put the syrup in the bottom like the directions said. I'm certain that you could do the same for the iced coffee. I will have to try it! love iced coffee!

I don't remember which model I had. I got rid of the pan soon after I got because maple syrup stuck to the surface and I could not remove it. I definitely would not recommend this brand.

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.

Very easy. I rinse off the top and put the glass bottom in the dishwasher. Like a previous writer, I wish it was bigger. I use it for maple syrup. I don't fill it above the point where the top covers the bottom or it will leak.

I don't think this is supposed to be used to make a syrup. It is similar to pure vanilla extract for flavoring in baking. The quality is very good. Perhaps you could try pure maple syrup??

The glass will probably break if you do. Put hot water in the holder (not the dispenser itself), that melts residual syrup. Hope this helps )

I haven't tried this for honey. My "new" favorite honey dispensers are vintage syrup pitchers --the kind with a spring-loaded spout. They work great!

This is a really good quality dispenser so I think it would be worth it to try this method. Seems like you'd need to keep all the parts clean and flushed out to keep it from clogging--all dish soaps seem to form plugs in the little dispenser holes where the soap comes out. Wish I'd thought to ask the plumber about this way of using a soap dispenser!

We use it interchangeably with each brand. You do have to be a little carefully inserting it into a new bottle of either brand or it will push syrup out of the top of the bottle.

It would be difficult to say because the package doesn't come with much information. We use this to add maple flavor rather than to make syrup.
