how much batter can the pen hold?

A lot! It doesnt seem that much in the photo but it has a huge space for batter. I have made about 70-80 macaroons with one filled pen. Every time you need to fill it again is so easy!

I've never had the pen run out of ink before I either lost the pen or someone used it and kept it. Sorry I can't answer your question.

Sorry, I bought this as a gift and have never used this pen myself, so I don't know the answer.

Try some hot water. warming up the pen will make it expand and let go of the nib... It may take a couple of tries be patient and be gentle.

I used a cookie scoop to fill mine. I'd say the cups were about 1/2 full and even that ended up being a bit too much batter. A couple of the cakes puffed up too much and had to be trimmed to sit flat when they were done.

I returned this pen after receiving as it was not what I originally thought. Unfortunately, unable to answer your question.

Wilton says it holds 7 cups and advises, "For cakes, fill pans 1/2 to 2/3 full." So that means you should put in 3.5 to 4.5 cups of batter. Personally, I measured the volume at 8 cups, and I've put up to 6 cups of batter in at a time, but that was for a dense fruitcake that I knew wouldn't rise much.

3tbs of batter will give you a cone that's about 8 inches long. Use less mix to make smaller cones.

They are approx. 3 oz. if used for baking brownies or cakes I would use 1 to 1 1/2 oz. of batter. Any more would be more than 3 in high.

I'm usually able to make 4 and sometimes 5. I fill it about 2/3 of the way. I bought these 6 months ago and really like it.

Make sure your batter isn't too runny or thick. You do need both hands to pull it from the cup stand, but that shouldn't be a problem.

Not sure how long a battery would last as it hasnt gone dead on me yet as I havent use it that frequently/ excessively. Handling a full load of flour is fine and fast. Haven't tested on other coarser texture like sugar though.

I am not sure that would work. The batter might seep under the paper because it is not a completely flat bottom .

Yea!!! All you need to do is unscrew the pen apart and replace it with an AAA battery! Totally simple!

It holds 4 cups. Mix your batter in a large bowl with a spout and fill the dispenser on the open side of the handle. With practice you can learn to measure by sight. When filling small muffin pans or baked donut pans, the dispenser is wonderful and well worth the money. It's all stainless steel and easy to clean when you're through. Most dispensers hold 2 cups but I didn't find any that held more than 4 cups. It's very sturdy and well made.
