Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of V581 Gnocchi Board
Customer Review: Helps to make excellent gnocchi
Summary: 5 Stars
When I was really young, my family lived in Italy for a few years. My mom learned to make gnocchi there, and has made it through the years. It's one of my favorite pasta dishes and I learned to make it from my mom. But my gnocchi was never as good as hers. All the people who ate mine loved it, but mine was the only gnocchi they'd ever had, and I knew it was never as good as my mom's.
I saw a gnocchi board being used one day on the food channel and wondered what it was, as my mom had never used one, and I didn't know they existed. I promptly ordered this one from Amazon, and when it showed up, I went over to a friend's place to try it out. As usual, they were well pleased, but what was better was that *I* was finally satisfied! I'd finally made gnocchi that rivaled my mom's! I actually did a victory dance in the kitchen. You've no idea how great it felt. I never told my mom, and don't plan to, of course, but I finally did it.
The gnocchi board was what finally allowed me to make better gnocchi than I'd ever done before. It was a lot smaller than I expected, though why I was expecting a big one is beyond me as you only roll one piece of gnocchi at a time, so it's the perfect size. It's big enough for large pieces of gnocchi as well as smaller, average size, which is what I make.
I make the dough, roll it out like a snake, cut the pieces, then roll the pieces into a ball. Then I lightly roll the ball down the gnocchi board which widens it and gives it ridges, then put the pieces into the boiling water. The fatter pieces I squeeze just a touch before I put into the water. I used to do as my mom did and use my knuckle on the individual pieces, but like I say, it never came out as good for some reason. The gnocchi board made all the difference.
Even if your gnocchi comes out good already, try the gnocchi board. It'll make it even better. And for the price, it's worth trying out.
