My Purchase-Spaetzle Press


There were many, many wonderful pots, pans, stewpots, juicers, machines and gourmet objects in Cooks of Crocus (see previous posts), but I found what I wanted,  although it's very different from Halcyon's. Check my blog yesterday to find the link and the picture of her press .  Now I have to use mine to produce some spaetzles! I wonder if it will work!!

    You are going to share photos of the results right? Looks like it could do damage to knuckles if not used properly.

    Guess who's coming to dinner once you've taken that little buggy out for a test-ride.

    Now you have to make spaetzle and post pics on the entire process! I haven't enjoyed spaetzle since Oktoberfest dinner in New Ulm.

    You will have to give us an update on how this worked. I enjoy spaetzle, but haven't had any in ages.

    We have one like this too! It just won't make the long, thin noodle like we had. They come out shorter and fatter. I think this way is more traditional, but the press is a bit easier. You'll have to show us photos of your results!

    I don't know what spaetzles are. I am going to rush to my dictionary :-)))

    my dictionary says "spaghetti" but I don't think that's right.

    I have just found a recipe in French, and a photo :-))

    (they spell it "spätzli")

    It looks like you physically load the reservoir and push it through the holes, then slide along the length to cut the spaetzle off. Is that how this works?

    I am curious about this experiment and I am quit sure it will give excellent results and hope you'll post them.

    Marie - spätzli is the Swiss German term for späztle (the a should have the umlaut, but if you don't have it on your computer you can replace with an extra e - spaetzle). They are egg and flour noodles - a popular dish from southern Germany.
