Spaetzle Board & Scraper for Swabian Spaetzle - #2196

Great spaetzle board. Works as expected. Love the hand scraped noodles but if time is short, I still use my press.

I am German and I love Spaetzle, mostly because they are instant gratification. I came across a youtube video of a chubby Austrian women making them and was hooked. I started searching for a suitable board, Amazon had it, including a fairly useless scraper. The board is not so big that you have to get out your largest boiler, it has the perfect bevel on both sides to let scraped off dough slide into the simmering water only to reemerge as fluffy little cloudlike Spaetzle seconds later. I held back on the durability rating because that depends on YOU. If you soak that board in the sink or put it in the dishwasher you will not have it long, wash the dough off, dry it well and let it hang or stand to let remaining moisture escape.

For the cook who makes spatzle from scratch, this set is the authentic way to cut the dough into the boiling water. Delivery from Germany was quick.

It’s something I feel I can pass down to my daughter.

I've had the board for about a year now. First off, get a nice pastry spatula (or long butterknife) to scrap your spätzle. The scraper included is fine, but not the most efficient tool. The board takes practice to get your technique right, but the spätzle it makes is, for me, perfect. The spätzle should have long noodles and variable sizes, in my opinion. With a little practice, you can shear off noodles nearly as quickly as using a press, which is much larger, harder to clean, and takes up more kitchen space. When I'm done, I wipe down the board and hang it flat against the wall. Easy peasy. I have noticed that the board is starting to warp slightly, but I use it pretty regularly. Wipe down the board with some oil every couple of uses and everything seems to be fine.

Exactly as represented. Very pleased

Fast delivery, easy to use, worked out great. First time.

Amazing!

Just like the one we brought with us from Germany on our move to Canada 40 some years ago, excellent replacement..the 4 stars on the easy to use does depend on if you know how to actually make real "Spätzle mit einem Schaber"

Gutes Produkt - wirklich, perfekt - in der Hand einer schwäbischen Hausfrau. Leider bin ich das nicht. Es bedarf noch reichlicher Übung. Die Lieferung wäre promt gewesen aber sie verspätete sich durch den unerwartet hohen Schneefall, der die hiesige Royal Mail behinderte.

A great product , just like we had in Germany !
