Life Hack Fail: How much mess will you make putting that in the bottle? Without this hack, you have the mixing bowl to clean. With it, the bowl, a funnel and a bottle. Baffled.
This probably makes a lot of sense if cooking with kids. I know it takes a bit of cooking experience to not get batter all down the side of the bowl and on the counter when pouring right from the bowl
LOL I don't know where I'd put an 8 cup measuring cup, I have a hard time finding a place for my 4-cup. Doesn't stop me from wanting one but space is a real issue
I use a spoon, but it can make drips. The point of doing this isn't to save dishwashing but to save mess-making, of the batter when trying to make the pancakes. Which, doesn't mean I'd ever want to do it.
Cup, spoon, whatever, the point is it can drip, and if you use something on the small side then it can cook uneven while you're getting the next scoop out. The bottle is meant to prevent those things happening.
That said, neither of those things happening is really a big deal, or worth the trouble of cleaning out the bottle, or the wasted batter that won't come out of said bottle.
We have the Krusteaz just-add-water pancake mix and if I wanted to squirt pancakes I'd probably put the dry mix in an empty squeeze bottle and then pour in the water, cap, shake, squeeze
If I finally get the scoop I want (one of those with the built-in scraper, like an ice cream scoop, can use for cupcake batter) I will totally use that for pancakes too
