OXO Good Grips Precision Batter Dispenser | Mess-free filling, Drip-Free Shut-Off Valve, Easy-Squeeze Handle, Cupcakes, Crepes, Pancakes, Waffles, Cooking Essentials

Picked this up after years of pouring pancake batter straight from a measuring cup or bowl, always ending up with uneven sizes and batter dripping everywhere trying to pour precisely for the kids' shapes and characters they like. Wanted something that gave more control without the mess. Dispenser handles thicker batters like pancake and waffle mix without clogging, which was my main worry going in since I've seen similar gadgets struggle once the batter gets past a certain thickness. Trigger mechanism releases a consistent amount each squeeze, made getting uniform sized pancakes actually achievable instead of the guessing game it used to be. No dripping down the spout after releasing either, which was the biggest improvement over just pouring from a cup, counter and stovetop stay way cleaner now during a big breakfast batch. Handle is comfortable to grip and squeeze repeatedly too, doesn't fatigue your hand making a large batch for the whole family. Cleanup is simple, comes apart easily and the pieces are dishwasher safe, no batter stuck in hard to reach crevices like I worried about with something this mechanical. Only complaint is it doesn't hold quite as much batter as I expected for the size, ended up refilling it once mid-batch for a bigger breakfast then I planned for. Great little tool though, would buy again for how much easier it's made pancake mornings. Super easy to use and fill. Price was definitly worth it.

Im not a kitchen gadget girl- I think that most gadgets are a waste of space. But THIS is the best! It’s super useful and makes perfect round pancakes. Works so easy, my 9 year old was using it with ease! My only wish is that you could mix the pancake batter in the product. I didn’t try that- but can’t see how it would work because the dispenser part would hold a bunch of mix that wouldn’t get stirred up because you couldn’t reach a spoon down there. (I don’t think at least). Hey the product has markers on it for measurements so it appears that was the intention. Cleans easily. It is great!

Loved it until it broke. Bought a few years ago. Used it about a dozen times for pancake batter. Fantastic concept, making pouring badder super easy and mess free. Handle at spring level broke off main body, thus ruining the entire mechanism. Unsure whether I’ll buy same one again or shop around a different brand, but love the overall style.

I love this dispenser. Unfortunately it broke on the handle like everyone else's. I filed a warranty claim and they sent a new one new questions asked. Great customer service/warranty on Oxo products.

Whenever I make pancakes, I end up with all different size pancakes while dribbling pancake batter across the counter / griddle. Oxo always makes quality products so I chose this Oxo dispenser. I've used it once so far & it works really well. I mix up the batter in a Pyrex bowl ahead of time so the wide-mouth opening is appreciated. Some dispensers do not have a wide opening & if you're dumping from a bowl, you may have a mess. I don't find the lid necessary, but it's also used to sit the dispenser on between batches so it'll catch any drips. Unlike other reviews, I didn't experience much dripping at all. My homemade batter is thick. If your batter is thin, it might drip, simply due to the design where it pours out. Any batter remaining in the tiny funnel dispensary will likely drip out a bit. There would be no way to avoid that. I did find that as I neared the end of the batter, I needed to use a spoon or spatula to push the remaining amount out of the hole, but again, my pancake batter is pretty thick. Overall, I find this dispenser easy to use and mess-free. It's quick to clean as well.

[Update] It lasted exactly 13 months. I used this maybe 1-2 times a month and LOVED it, until yesterday when it finally broke on me. Long story short: DO NOT USE WITHOUT THE LID. Looks like the internal spring is way overpowered for the thickness of the plastic without the lid in place. The lid actually seems to provide counter-resistance to the spring when you squeeze the handle. I was in a hurry yesterday and wanted my batter to flow faster, so I used it without the lid, thinking the faster air displacement would accelerate filling my cupcake cups, but then I heard: CRAAAACK. It split right where the spring is. The dispenser alone doesn’t have the strength to resist breaking under pressure from the spring, it needs the extra resistor from the lid to have structural integrity, otherwise it fails on you. Even when you’re hand-washing it, do not squeeze the handle, except gently to remove and replace the silicone valve. I’ll probably buy a new one and never make this mistake again. [Original review] I used to hate making pancakes. Dealing with a ladle to distribute the batter was messy and hard to control. This dispenser made the job SO much neater. I especially love using it for cupcakes! I have a chocolate cupcake batter that is particularly runny and hard to dispense neatly into cups, and this dispenser made that job infinitely easier, as well. And I haven't tried this yet, but I see no reason why I can't use this to make a funnel cake, too! I'm considering getting a second one so I can swirl different flavors together. The only downside is that soapy water gets inside the handle when you're washing it and it's hard to ensure it rinses and drains properly, but it's otherwise a great product.

Worked great, we use it everytime we make pancakes or waffles now. Worth the cost difference in other products and very easy to clean!

This is a must-have if you make pancakes, waffles, or cupcakes regularly. It takes the guesswork out of portioning and keeps the kitchen so much cleaner. What I liked: • Total Control: The squeeze handle is very responsive, allowing you to stop the flow instantly without drips. • Easy to Read: The measurement markings on the side are clear and accurate for precise baking. • Wide Opening: It’s easy to fill with batter without making a mess, and the lid doubles as a drip tray when you set it down. • Easy Cleanup: The valve comes out for thorough cleaning, and the whole thing is dishwasher safe. It makes breakfast prep significantly faster and ensures every pancake is the exact same size. A great addition to any kitchen!

Preciso y duradero.

This product is great! Used it for pancakes today and it was seamless. No mess, easy to use and control the size of pancakes. Will use this gor cupcakes and muffins too.

Excelente producto, facilita mucho el hacer hotcakes y rellenar moldes sin andar tirando masa

Good for what it does

Endlich habe ich ein handliches Küchengerät zum abfüllen von diversen Sachen in der Küche gefunden. Lässt sich mühelos und einfach reinigen. Ebenso hielt es ein Fall aus 30 cm stand; was mich aus der Schockstarre schnell löste 🤓
