Abstract

An apparatus adapted for dispensing flowable viscous batter has a housing, a barrel removably connected to the housing and a cap removably connected to the barrel. The housing contains a drive mechanism, a dual-position gearbox and a motor. The motor is in communication with the dual-position gearbox, which is in communication with the drive mechanism. The drive mechanism engages a threaded rod that is slidably disposed within the barrel. The threaded rod is attached to a piston that is non-rotatably positioned within the barrel. The drive mechanism actuates the threaded rod such that the piston is advanced or retracted in the barrel when power is supplied to the motor. The operating position of the gearbox determines whether the piston advances or retracts in the barrel when power is supplied to the motor. The cap includes a dispensing nozzle configured to regulate the flow of viscous batter from the barrel when the piston advances in the barrel. The cap also includes a piping spacer that facilitates consistent spacing and dispensing of batter on a baking surface.
