Stainless Steel Spaetzle Maker Lid with Scraper Traditional German Egg Noodle Maker Pan Pot Spaghetti Strainer

My mother used to cut German noodle dough into boiling water with a knife, making some huge and some small noodles. This device is great for making more consistent sized noodles and it is a snap to clean as long as you get it soaking in some water right after use. Don't let the dough dry on it, or you'll be soaking all night. Dishwasher safe too.

- Perfectly sized for making drop noodles- Fits well over large cooking pot- Durable, thick and strong enough not to bend or bow- Stainless steel cleans up easily

Pretty much a foolproof method and quite frankly very handy for making my favorite (pasta or dumpling) Spaetzle noodles. Much easier and far quicker than how my Austrian family did it in the old days.

The wholes are a bit small for my liking so the Spatzle turns out smaller than I like. But otherwise the product is great and it sits fairly stable on the pot.

Item was as described, and shipped very quickly. Haven't had a chance yet to try it, but it appears to be good quality and should do the trick!

There's a bit of learning curve in holding it right, you can't just keep it stationary over top of the whole pot or else you cook the noodle batter on top of the sieve. I have to hold it partially off of the pot to release steam so it doesn't clog up the sieve with cooked noodle batter. But it's fine quality for home use. If for professional use, you might want a sturdier material, however.

The item is very sturdy and I do like how well it fits my existing pot. I have made it with a few batters now (some with more egg, or milk instead of water). I had great luck with the first one I made, the second time was too firm, and the third worked ok. So if at first you don't succeed, try again!I do recommend that you use oven mitts as steam does come through the holes, the lid gets hot, and figuring out how to use it does take a moment... Not too long and next time it will be much easier. Dough needs to be firm, but not too firm. That really was what I feel was my biggest issue. I do like that it cleaned up easily, and is dishwasher safe.Edit: I had an issue with my original order, (Amazon fulfilment issue), they responded very quickly and shipped me a new one. Thankfully, this one was all intact!Received the item without the scraper and the item's package was opened.I purchased this for my uncle's birthday, and as I didn't have time to return it, receive a new one, and make the dumplings in time, I decided to use my personal spatula instead. (Now that I have the full product, I don't recommend using your own, the spatula that it comes with is much better than mine... I managed to snap one of mine in half.)

Before ordering, do measurements to be sure it will fit your stewpot. That being said, I love this product. It works fantastic and my spaetzle turned out perfectly. My recipe stated 8 servings and I was able to work it all at once through this product. What a time saver that was. I highly recommend this one, and it washes up easily by hand with no hidden corners for dough to get trapped. 10 STARS FOR SURE!!
