Whether just learning how to make dumplings or perfecting a spaetzle dumpling recipe, the Spaetzle Maker easily forms the tender little dumplings in a consistent size to cook evenly.What is spaetzle? Spaetzle are softer egg noodles or dumplings originating from the traditional cuisines found in southern Germany and Austria, and are very popular in Switzerland and Hungary. Spaetzle noodles are a hearty European egg dumpling, most commonly associated with German food, and can be served in place of pasta, much like chicken and dumplings, or instead of rice or potatoes alongside beef or veal, and added to soups and stews. Spaetzle is a true comfort food, enjoyed warm with applesauce or dressed in a simple spaetzle sauce made from butter, sugar, cinnamon or nutmeg. These tasty little German noodles are delicious with cheese, herbs, spices, or spinach and mixed with fresh cherries or apples, too.A helpful addition to cooking tools, HIC's Spaetzle Maker is so easy to use. Simply form the dough and place a manageable piece into the hopper. Set the base of the Spaetzle Maker onto a lightly floured surface to keep dumplings from sticking or directly over a boiling pot of salted water. Glide the hopper along the cutting surface.Made from stainless steel and BPA-free plastic, HIC Kitchen's Spaetzle Maker blades stay sharp and the safety hopper cradles dough and keeps fingers out of harm's way. Hand wash in warm, soapy water. Dry thoroughly. Measures 13" x 4 1/4" x 2 3/4".
