   My first batch of doughnuts came out fine. The hole isn't always as round as it could be, but that's of no concern to me. I will fine-tune the recipes for proper batter viscosity and proper drop placement into the fryer and they'll be perfect. I made the Old-Fashioned doughnuts, in regular and chocolate, with sugar, or sugar & cinnamon, or sugar & chocolate as the coatings. All three coatings came out well and the doughnuts taste excellent. All of the recipes included with the doughnut maker are good. The doughnut maker takes away the steps of having to roll-out dough and cut-out the doughnuts. It's just plop, plop and the doughnuts are frying. Two cups of batter in the maker will make about 20 doughnuts. There is no better doughnut maker made, it makes fine doughnuts and is easy to clean. I'm very happy with this doughnut maker and I'm sure it will make many hundreds of dozens of excellent tasting doughnuts for me, and my friends.

   I'm impressed with how well this worked out. I should have sprayed them with oil first but still easy to clean under warm water with soap. It left donut residue but I should have sprayed them with oil first.

   I'm incredibly pleased with this purchase. I used a spice cake mix+1/2 cup corn meal+1 can pumpkin puree+1 egg. I used a streudal topping and then heated store bought cream cheese frosting and drizzled it over. Amazing. I'm really looking forward to experimenting with other ideas as well. It's easy to clean. For just a few dollars, I'm going to have a lot of fun with this.

   I've now used the molds twice. The first time, I didn't spray it, so my doughnuts stuck a bit to the molds & cleanup was a bit harder. This time, I sprayed the molds & barely any sticking. Figure cleanup will be much easier this time. The pronuts (protein doughnuts) I made were perfectly fried each time. I'm very happy with the molds.

   So I loved the product. I thought it was a lot of fun and easy to use. Two things I think made it work well. Let the dough rest for 30+ to thicken up. I also think chilling the dough a bit helps. I fried these donuts outside in MN on a mild January day and I think it inadvertently chilled the dough and helped them form.

   The material is a bit thin, but for the price, works fine when placed on. I did like that I didn't need to grease AND and flour, though. I didn't have any trouble washing, as I just threw the dirty pan in the dishwasher and it came clean.

   This is good quality for a donut maker. It is made of aluminum, not cheap plastic for the plunger bottom and the vessel to hold the batter. The trigger is plastic. Not dishwasher proof - comes with recipes for donuts, pancakes and waffles. I previously bought a cheaper plastic donut maker from this website and promptly returned it.

   This device is a finicky beast. Here is a list of factors that will affect the outcome of your donuts: The angle of your batter drop The viscosity of your batter (2 extra tablespoons of moisture make a big impact) The amount of time you depress the batter release spring The distance of the batter cap to the batter bowl (which is adjustable by turning a nut) The depth of your oil and pan The distance of your batter drop to the oil's surface break (must drop batter as close to oil as possible without touching it) The temperature of your oil (I used a thermal laser gun to measure degrees fahrenheit 375 prior to dropping batter) There could be other factors, but what I listed above make up largely whether you get a proper donut shape, or *CLOSE ENOUGH* to proper donut shape, or if you instead get an amorphous, shapeless blob. That said, the donuts still turn out delicious either way, but then what's the point? The point is to achieve a donut shape. Just keep practicing! The people unfairly leaving single star reviews just aren't willing to learn the nuances of this device. Smelly unfortunate.

   I guess I can't say it works great for donuts (never tried), but it's perfect as a pancake dispenser! Have been using this one for 10+ years, still looks & works great. Also like it when pouring cupcake batter, keeps the edges neat & clean...I give it short shots of batter for more volume control. It holds about 2-1/4 cups of batter at a time.

   The donut maker is so easy to use. I love it so much that I actually have one at my home and one at my daughter's. The included recipes are the best that I have come across for flavor.... my husband enjoys them so much while they're fresh and warm that I need to limit his consumption!
