If you’re making batter that you need to pour (pancakes, anyone?), you can save yourself a step by mixing it in a disposable bag. Cut the corner and pour the batter directly from the bag.

WonderHowTo explains this easy trick:
You simply put all of the ingredients in a ziplock plastic bag and mash them around until they’re thoroughly mixed together. Then, snip a small corner (make sure it’s small, since the batter will be runny) off the end of the bag and dispense it into the muffin cups.
The bonus feature of this tip is that the bag lets you pour the batter without the spillage and waste. I’m always getting batter everywhere and this acts like an impromptu pastry bag.

I dunno, generating more rubbish in order to save yourself washing up one bowl seems pretty wasteful to me.
My sentiments exactly.
Also, it’s much easier to lick a bowl!
YAY More rubbish to go into landfill 🙂
Great tip Lifehacker…. 😐
Then cook them in a disposable cooker fuelled by whale blubber, eat them off a plastic disposable plate with throw away knives and forks.
Seriously Lifehacker is starting to worry me.
Whale blubber is a renewable resource.
Though in fairness lifehacks usually have the focus on making things quicker and easier to do, not less wasteful.
I just imagine this approach probably wouldn’t work for a few batters where smooshing things together won’t achieve an even consistency
