Spaetzle Maker & Potato Press for Round Spaetzle

Spending $50 for a culinary 1-trick pony is a decision not to be taken lightly. However, I took the plunge and I'm blown away. German quality, this is heavy and well built. I have been making nokedli noodles for decades. I usually make the small ball type, using the type of spaetzel maker that looks a bit like a cheese grater with a sliding bucket for dough. I wanted to a spaetzel in string shape, so I hedged about for months and finally bought this one. It makes perfect spaetzel noodles! So easy, surprisingly light resistance when pushing noodles out, smooth, and just perfect. I then recalled the second trick this pony does; Spaghettieis! I grabbed a pint of vanilla gellato, some fresh strawberries I whipped in the Vitamix with a bit of sugar and a bit of OJ, whipped some heavy cream to peaks for the base, and a chunk of white chocolate for grated cheese. I froze the device and 2 plates overnight and made the next evening. SO good!! I attached a pic, it was beyond delicious. If you're thinking about this device, just go ahead and buy it. You will NOT regret the purchase, it's perfect.

This thing makes what it is intended to make. It does quite well at it. Very easy to use and fits most pots. If you’re cooking in a cauldron, maybe it won’t work for you as easily, but other than that rare situation, it should make your life easier. Easy to clean. Nice and sturdy. No problems at all.

Simple but sturdy design and is well made. After having had a bad run of destroying garlic presses with what I can only assume is superhuman grip strength I paid very close attention to the design and materials of this product. My research seems to have paid off and it looks like I’ll have a functioning ricer for years to come.

I have always loved spaetzle, but since I can no longer eat gluten, I had given up ever eating spaetzle again. But with a GF recipe and this spaetzle maker, I can make my own. It also makes great GF spaghetti. I would give this product a 10 if I could. Love it!!!

This product will last forever. It will be something to hand down through the generations! German quality!

Spaetzle dough is very sticky and normal ricers clog and are hard to clean. I don't know for how long the non-stick coating on this baby is going to last, but for now it works and cleans up with nearly no effort. In fact after we were done just putting it under running water removed all the leftover dough. So for now this little gadget gets a 5* rating from me.

My mother had one of these from Germany when I was a kid. This is exactly the same and makes spaetzle (or noodles, etc) perfectly.

OMG! I have been making spaetzle for 40 years and this is by far the BEST spaetzle maker I have ever used. I believe I will have it for the rest of my life as it is so heavy duty. The time to make the spaetzle was cut significantly as the dough goes through the maker relatively quickly. I love it and can't wait to make them again!
