What customers say
Customers overwhelmingly value this stainless steel Spaetzle Maker for its superior quality and efficiency. The robust construction is frequently praised for its durability and easy cleaning, offering a significant upgrade over lesser alternatives. The device excels at transforming the traditionally messy task of making spaetzle into a quick, simple process, consistently producing uniform results. Users appreciate its stable design that fits securely over pots.

Know before you buy
The unit measures 12 by 4.5 inches, making it compatible with most standard-sized stockpots. It is designed to rest securely across the rim of your pot while you slide the hopper back and forth.
For the best results, your spaetzle dough should be thick enough to hold its shape but soft enough to pass through the holes with the sliding motion. If the dough is too thin, the noodles may become mushy; if too thick, it will be difficult to slide.
No, the high-quality stainless steel is resistant to rust and corrosion, even with frequent exposure to boiling water. To maintain its finish, ensure the unit is dried thoroughly after washing.
The maker is designed to disassemble, allowing you to reach every crevice where dough might get stuck. Because it is dishwasher safe, you can simply take it apart and place it in the dishwasher for a thorough clean.
While specifically engineered for spaetzle, the consistent hole size makes it a useful tool for creating small, uniform dumplings or even grating soft cheeses in a pinch.
