How much batter does the measuring "cup" hold. My cup is missing.

1/4 cup. if you eyecall it & get too much batter, the cover will separate & leak down the sides. also it is non stick, but i use pam also. i use my maker a lot and it will stick, but with a fork, it will come out. using a spray oil allows the waffle to easily come out.

I own one, and wondered about the same thing. ( The 12 cup one) So I measured how many 8 oz cup it would hold. I found out it holds 7 8 oz cups plus 1/4 cup+ two more ounces. So their cup is smaller than and actual cup. 58 oz divided by 12= 4.83 oz.

You can take a standard 1-cup measuring cup and fill it 1/2 inch shy of the rim. That will work out perfectly for you if you don't want to replace the cup that came with your machine!

I measured mine dry with a food scale and then cooked. You could use that and then take 1 cooked portion and translate it to cups or cooked weight if that's what you preferred.

I'm sorry but I have not used the measuring cup for that reason. I plan to try the cup again, because if you don't use something, it is just hit and miss. I really like the egg cooker, it is less messy and I love the poached egg unit!

I never thought about it, so I measured my cup and it is not the same as a measuring cup, so I would stick with the cup that came with it. Good question!

There are about 5 cups of batter in an average cake mix. So pour water in the pans and measure how much you might use if you, for example, filled it up half way. I admit that I have had nominal success with these pans, most likely because of my own limitations. My problem is icing them. For some reason, I can't do a very good job of it. I can bake them, fill them, and assemble them. But I am lousy at icing them; they crumble. And that's probably because I haven't discovered the perfect icing or cake mix for these charming little cakes. When I later bought small bundt cake pans, these went by the wayside. I guess the bundt fits my skill set better. There are about 5 cups of batter in an average cake mix.

I have this and it appears (I have not measured) to hold about 1 to 1.5 cups. They are hand made and all are a tad different.David

I just poured the full container of coffee into my measuring cup and it measured almost 4 cups. Our coffee cups must be large because we only get 2 or 3 cups of coffee out of it.

It holds about three cups of pancake batter. It was hard to get an answer out of my husband, who LOVES it. He makes large pancakes and doesn't measure. He cakes six large (really) from 1 fill of the dispenser.

I believe you just didn't add enough water. It's a bit tricky, at first; too little and it's undercooked, too much, and it's overcooked. Experience is the best teacher. I have trouble reading the little measuring cup, also. trial and error, using a tablespoon, to measure the water. Then, pour that amount in the cup and make a mark, for future breakfasts. Good luck!

There are 3 different cup sizes, but the small cup is very small. I believe it is only 8 oz. I'm not where I can look at it and have only had it for a very short time, but I use the middle setting for my cups at home because they are bigger than 8 oz. I haven't used the large size yet.

I measured it at three inches. If this is a critical measurement, I can post an image of the cup with a ruler across it.

I'm in the same position as the others. Mine is a 11 cup machine, and I have no idea. Sorry!

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.

I would look on fat daddio's website, they have a whole chart that explains how many cups of batter should be used for each pan and you'll be able to see which one uses half the batter of the 9in.

Not sure as I never measured. All I can say is that I get my two, 10 oz cups each morning with a little left over.
