Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Norpro Stainless Steel Pancake Dispenser with Holder
Customer Review: Very poorly designed
Summary: 2 Stars
It may not be clear from the photo, but this batter dispenser is comprised of two pieces: the dispenser, and a cup-shaped base to catch drips. You need to lift the dispenser up out of the base to dispense batter.
Problem is, you can't use the dispenser without the base (it won't stand up on its own), yet the dispenser sticks to the base nearly every time you use it. This means that you need two hands to use the dispenser - one to hold the base down, and the other to un-wedge the dispenser (hopefully without getting batter everywhere). And that's when it's clean; the problem is much worse once you get batter on the lip of the base. I hate using this thing for this reason.
Other than the awful base, the dispenser itself isn't great. It's virtually impossible to get a consistent deposit of batter; even with practice, sometimes I get a lot of batter and sometimes I get just a little. I bought it for making crepes, but the thin crepe batter just rushes out the hole. The flow of batter is limited by how far I open the valve, and how long I keep it open, but there are no stops or adjustments, so it's just guesswork to get the correct amount each time.
The dispenser is also way too small; I get only 4 or maybe 5 pancakes before I have to refill. And refilling is messy and cumbersome, mostly because of the small opening on top.
On the plus side, it's all stainless steel (no nasty plastic) and is totally dishwasher safe.
In short, the poor design really makes this product unpleasant to use.
