Easy to use and makes great spaetzle!
This stainless steel spaetzle maker is about as simple as you could get. It is super easy to use and cleans very easily, although the next time I make I might lightly oil this for even easier cleaning. I like the pastry scraper included with this, but I wish it were just a tiny bit firmer. Nevertheless , it works well.This fits a variety of pans. In my household, I have a small 3 quart stock pot, and it fit just fine on there. When company comes, this will also fit the humongous 16 quart stock pot that I have downstairs.I will never buy store bought noodles again, as long as I have flour and eggs in my house...highly recommended!

Well made, works great! Those complaining about boiling water - read my review.
I like this better than the kind that looks like a grater with a sliding box. Those kind are of varying quality and if there is a seam on the box part, very hard/impossible to clean. This one is simple and effective. The stainless steel is thick and the little plastic end handles help keep your fingers from burning when you take it off the pot. This item is fine for smaller amounts of Spätzle, but I have ordered the round one that completely covers the pot so I can put more batter on it and not worry about spilling over the edges. I will keep this one for my smaller batches - it still works great.For those who complained about the boiling water being too hot: The water does not have to be boiling while dropping the batter in - a gentle simmer is fine until all the batter is used, (work quickly), then turn the heat up so the water is at a medium boil for 2 - 3 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds until the Spätzle are done.Also: If you have trouble getting the dough through this, your batter is too thick. With some recipes the batter ends up like sticky bread dough, it should be like thick cake batter. Just add another ounce or two of water or milk. And use enough eggs! For every cup of flour use 2 eggs!My other tip is to do an initial rinse/scrub to everything with the batter on it right away with COLD water to get the batter off. It's like glue and cold water is more effective. Once the batter is off you can follow up with a warm water wash or pop it in the dishwasher. It's also best if you do NOT put the batter bits down the garbage disposal, again....glue! I put the strainer in my sink drain to catch the batter bits and dump that into the trash.

Homemade cooking
This tray makes preparing dumplings and noodles much easier. The surface keeps the dough from sticking, and the size gives plenty of space to work comfortably. It’s sturdy, lightweight, and simple to wash after use. Great for anyone who enjoys homemade cooking and wants to make the process faster and more organized.

Works great
This is the best tool to make spaetzle. I tried the one with the sliding hopper but that didn't work at all. This one is easy to use, drop over pot of boiling water, put the dough on top, screen through the holes and perfect spaetzle. Definitely recommend this one.

Worth every penny!
I have used every possible method available to make spaetzle and have struggled with each one. Until now. This tool is amazing. It worked exactly as it should, making the job of creating uniformly sized pieces so that they can also be evenly cooked. The quality is high, and it would fit in almost any sized pot except really large (which you shouldn't be using anyway as they are supposed to be made in batches if you are making a lot). Highly recommend.

Good product but mine wasn't complete.
It's a good product, but mine didn't come with the pastry scraper and I had to scramble for something that would work. There was a lot of waste because I couldn't manipulate the batter well. It does want a large pot (just shy of 10" diameter is the smallest). My normal pots were too small for its smallest diameter. My larger pot fit it fine. Good spacing, good hole size. Made great spaetzle but I sure do with I had the scraper designed to fit.
