I have done that when the mixer died. But it reminded me of a great youtube clip of cooking with power tools http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p2dK9LCXDiA
Hmmm I’ve done that… does that make me a bad person?
That works if you like really tough, rubbery, pancakes.
The beauty of it is that you can use the hammer setting to get rid of those pesky lumps.
Pancakes are far better when mixed by hand.
It looks like it’s in a floured cake pan. I think it’s cake, not pancakes.
“Hey if it fits in a drill, why not?” – A new slogan for the next generation handy person.
Been there, done that.
This photo reminds me of my own cooking/drill usage.
One year for my soon to be father-in law’s birthday, we decided we were going to make him a TON of kettle corn, as well as a little baggie for all of the party guests. Earlier in the week we purchased one of those hand-crank kettle corn poppers. Needless to say, due to the heat of the consistent popcorn popping the plastic gears cracked and therefore refused to stir. So what were we to do. I broke out my wire cutters, snipped away at the metal shroud that surrounded the gears, pulled the gear off the popper and hooked up my cordless drill to the popcorn popper. I felt like Tim Taylor, from home improvement & Macgyver all in one!
Thanks for the reminder!
Ironically, his wife’s in the other room drilling a hole with the mixer.
Hey, if it works, so what? Would just be laying around doing nothing anyway, if not for this.
What’s wrong with this picture? Nothing!
Low Budget solutions

i agree, it looks way too thick for pancake batter, that’s meant to be really runny. definitley cake mix
Sadly, I’ve seen this done in restaurants.
Really? In a restaurant?
So it’s totally professional to do that right?
I’ve done this before, except it was for whipping cream, and i used a coat hanger as a whisk. I had to move from the kitchen to the bathroom and keep whipping in the bath to contain the mess. Two drill batteries later, when it still wasn’t firming up I read the cream cartom which politely informed me that it wasn’t suitable for whipping. Adding insult to injury, when i took the trifle i needed the cream for to my friend’s dinner party, he told me he didn’t like trifle.
Fail.
Hey, at least he used a variable-speed drill. (I can tell because the rest of the picture isn’t one huge batter-splatter
)
My dad once used a power drill to turn the squeezo. Turned out not to be very effective, on account of being too fast, and it stripped the threads off the squeezo’s handle bolt, so we had to get that replaced afterward.
Alton Brown has a power drill permanently attached to his peppermill.
Sigh…this brought back some fond memories for me. There’s a very similar drill attachment that’s made and sold to ceramicists who make their own clays and glazes in large quantities!
“Ironically, his wife’s in the other room drilling a hole with the mixer.”
Now THAT is funny. Role reversal at its finest.
There’s a place in the city where I live where they make corndogs like that.
They sell tons of them, so you can see 10 drills being used for cordog production xP
That utensil would be so much better if he had used a paint mixer instead. Who uses the real attachment from a kitchen mixer?
I use my whisk drill all the time. http://blog.nermo.com/two-passions-united/
This puts me in mind of my grandfather’s fudge, where he burned out my grandmother’s mixer trying to stir it, and switched to using the beater in the drill just as pictured above. According to my father it was the best fudge ever.
Pretty ghetto that the drill’s not cordless…
We’ve done that. Pancake breakfast for a Scout troop. 5 gallon bucket, industrial sized bag of Krusteaz complete, a ‘whisk’ that was designed to mix paint, a hand drill, and a griddle made from a very large piece of plate steel and 4 furnace burners attached to a 100 lb. propane cylinder. We live in a town with an appliance manufacturer, so it was made with new burners by folks who at least knew what they were doing.
They’re pretty good, especially if you compare them to other mass-produced pancakes.
I’ve done that. A good cordless drill works better than a cheap Wal-Mart hand mixer. Just make sure you don’t have any sawdust or metal chips in/on the drill before you use it for food.
This is just common sense. Drills aren’t just for making holes. They’re industrial-strength multi-use motors.
MANcakes.

They use a similar setup but with a wheeled hopper on the gridle (look for the I heart NY sticker) that can lay down two dozen odd pancakes in seconds. And let me tell you, they never fall behind on demand…
My dad did that once:D ,but not with pancakes.
Amazing what ingenuity can create. I once saw a wheel chair converted to be powered by a cordless drill. Yep, it actually worked.
