5.0 out of 5 stars Great product August 19, 2009
I was worried that this wouldn't work well, that the dough wouldn't drop through and that it wouldn't really make the process easier. I was wrong! I've made spaetzle before, both by cutting it from a board over boiling water and also by pressing the dough through a collander. This is sooo much easier and faster. The clip fits over the edge of my large soup pot with some room to spare. The handle is sturdy, solid, and it stays cool. Also, it is long enough so that even over my largest pot, the handle is neither over the boiling water nor the flame. The cutting surface is sturdy stainless steel - no twisting, no bending. The hopper slides easily when loaded. My dough dropped down into the pot in uniform and cleanly cut little dumplings as I slid the hopper back and forth - no additional pressing was necessary. The dough didn't cling to or cook onto the surfaces of either the cutter or hopper. I was able to fit my 6 serving recipe into the hopper in just two quick batches- about 2 minutes per batch, from loading the hopper to lifting out the finished spaetzle. The hopper slides off easily for cleaning. (I brush the surfaces off under cold water right away, and after dinner I hand wash it in hot soapy water.) I'm so happy I bought this!

5.0 out of 5 stars why did i wait so long? October 16, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase
i bought this almost a year ago but it's done little more than take up space in my cabinet since then. a few nights ago i decided to try it. i had had reservations about it from the beginning mostly because i had the image of a big mess in my head. i couldn't see how the dough would drop through the holes without help and i pictured myself needing at least 4 hands to do all the work.
boy, was i surprised! the container holds a full cup of dough and as i began sliding it back and forth i realized that it automatically turns the dough over on itself and pushes out the holes. from start to finish took about 15 minutes and they were exactly like mom used to make. the taste, color and texture were identical to what i remember as a good old german spaetzle.
i started by bringing my water to a boil and used half water and half progresso low-salt natural chicken broth (the kind in the box). i used one of the many online recipes for my dough mixture. it's a very basic one: 2 cups flour, half cup broth or water, 3 eggs, half teaspoon salt. i mixed it using a wooden spoon and added an extra tablespoon of broth about half way through.
place the maker over the pot and quickly fill the container. start sliding back and forth being careful not to run the container off the other end. there is no stop at the end.
i didn't turn or stir or take mine out during the process, just let them all cook till the container was empty. i then let them boil another 30 seconds until they were all floating and scooped them out into a bowl. then i repeated the process with the last cup of dough. after the last batch was finished, i dumped the water and put them all back into the pot with a small amount of olive oil and tossed lightly.

5.0 out of 5 stars Norpro Spaetzle Maker (model 3129) May 3, 2010

Great spaetzle maker! You will love making spaetzle with this gadget. Make sure you get this Norpro model 3129 which is all metal. Another version (model 3128) has a plastic handle and container which can easily break.

5.0 out of 5 stars Finally November 2, 2009

After many years of cutting spaetzle into my soups or as a side,I now can make the little dumplings efficiently and quickly. The carrier is metal and moves easily across the grill. It moves across easily with the dumpling batter and is easily cleaned.

5.0 out of 5 stars A hint for easier use. October 15, 2011
I do have hthe plasic one, and after 5 or 6 years of use, I finally melted it. Time to get the metal one.

Spaetzle dough is supposed to be sticky and messy. A hint for easier use and cleanup: spray it & the spoon you use to scoop the dough into it with non-stick cooking spray. It won't gum up as badly, and it comes off the spoon easier.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sturdy, Quality Construction yet Still Affordable February 14, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase
There were cheaper spaetzle makers and there were far more expensive spaetzle makers, but my husband and I choose this one because, by comparing shipping weights in item description, this one seemed sturdier than the super cheap spaetzle makers, yet didn't seem to lack any features of the more expensive spaetzle makers of the same style. Also, it was the same style we had seen and admired one of our favorite celebrity chefs using recently on her cooking show.

When it arrived, we were not disappointed. It was, in fact, quite sturdy. The batter shuttle moved smoothly back and forth, and the little lip on the end opposite the handle fit neatly over the side of the pot so that the maker sat stabilized across the top of the pot. Also, the plastic around the solid stainless steel handle ensured that the handle was both sturdy yet stayed relatively cool to the touch while cooking. For comparison, other cheaper spaetzle makers simply had all plastic handles, which we were concerned would break off too easily.

Unless you are committed to using a different style of spaetzle maker, this is an excellent choice for your kitchen.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great product January 22, 2010

We had a spaetzle maker that was sort of like a ricer, but it was very difficult to squeeze hard enough to get the dough to come out through the holes. A friend showed us hers, which was similar to this, that she had bought in Germany more than 30 years ago. I couldn't find the same brand as hers, but this looked the same, so I ordered it, and it worked great. I love spaetzle, and now we can have it more often.
