Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Norpro Stainless Steel Spaetzle Maker
Customer Review: Spaetzle
Summary: 5 Stars
After comming back from a visit to S.Germany and Austria I had to figure out how to make spaetzle. I bought the maker and am very pleased by the results. The unit is well made considering the price. The spaetzle comes out perfect shape and size. I think one of the tricks is to just barely blend the ingredients together. The more you mix the batter the tougher they come. The unit is slightly messy to use especially at first but I seemed to get better after a few uses. Use one of those flexible spatulas to load the maker. Good luck.
Description of Norpro Stainless Steel Spaetzle Maker
13" Stainless steel and plastic Spaetzle maker. Makes dumpling-like noodles. Recipe included!Whether you call that German-by-way-of-Genoa hybrid of dumpling and pasta spaetzle, spatzle, spatzen, or just "that dough stuff you drop into boiling broth," the folks at Norpro have fashioned a reasonably efficient way to prepare it. With their stainless-steel spaetzle maker--essentially a bottomless mining-car basket that runs along a flat cheese grater with bigger holes--cooks can load their favorite combo of egg/flour/milk (recipes for two spaetzle doughs are included) into the basket. By running the "mining car" along the rails of the stainless-steel grater, the batter is extruded into the waiting pot of boiling water or stock. At least, that's the theory: while the plastic basket is bottomless, it's also topless, meaning that, depending on the consistency of the batter, you may need to push it through the grater by hand--a bit daunting over a boiling pot. The grater base is also attached to a plastic handle via plastic tabs; one wishes for one-piece construction, though no doubt an all-stainless-steel fabrication would involve dropping a different kind of dough. --Tony Mason
