"Norpro 3170 Pancake Dispenser"
The dispenser works great. It came within the specified time and packed very well.

"Makes A Pretty Pancake"
Tried out my new Norpro pancake dispenser today. I did not purchase from Amazon because I found it for $16.99 at TJMax. I was pleased with my discounted price and then set out to take my new gadget out for a spin. Nicely made, stainless steel product that has a professional quality to it. It took a couple of tries in the pan to make a perfect cake. They sure were pretty. I mixed my batter up in a plastic pitcher and just kept refilling the dispenser. It was quite simple and there was not a drop of mess. We have a large family, so I refilled quite a few times. Having read previous opinions, I knew that the dispenser was on the small side. No surprizes there! I noticed even the pan stayed cleaner while cooking due to the uniform cakes. I don't mind a little extra effort for nice looking results and this dispenser did not let me down. I know my younger children will enjoy using it next time. Mom wanted to try it first :) . I'm not sure I would have paid 29.99 for this simple pleasure but for 16.99, it was a good purchase.

"great but hard to full"
I bought this in Dec-05, and just used it for the 1st time..
This is great, but I find it hard to fill.
When your pouring your batter in, you better not take your eyes off it for a second , or you will have the batter all over.
Or is there sometype of trick to this?
Although I use to make a mess taking a large spoon to put my pancake batter onto a large double griddle.
This puts it were it belongs, no mess once you get the batter in this...
The little cup this fits into works great...

I do wish they would have made this larger though.

I payed $22.99, and I would buy it again

"A little small for the big family"
Overall the item is great, however, if you're making pancake breakfast for more than 2, forget it as the item does not hold enough batter and must be refilled often. I did find the base that the dispenser rests in a great feature.

"No mess No fuss!"
What a great little gadget! Once my pancake batter is mixed, I simply pour some into the pancake dispenser and dispense it onto the hot griddle. No messy drips and cleanup is quick because I give it a good rince and toss it upsidedown into the dishwasher!

Only thing I would change would be to make it a bit bigger.
