4.0 out of 5 stars Gnocchi Board Makes Beautiful food, August 28, 2007

I love the gnocchi board because it makes my gnocchi look so professional. I have seen gnocchi made without the ridges, but I think the ridges make a beautiful presentation. The product does not come with instructions on how to use it. I only found out a gnocchi board existed by watching it used on The Food Network. I am assuming only people who know what a gnocchi board is will buy it and already know how to use it. The price was extraordinarily reasonable.

If your into making your own Gnocchi, After using this one time, you'll never go back to using the tins of a fork...... it's so easy to use. I'm finding my self finding different recipes and trying them all with this new toy. It's really easy to use and they come out just like Mario's. It's great........ and the cost is no big deal....... However, you do have to take care of this, it's real wood, and needs to be treated as such....... not the top shelf of the dishwasher...... this needs to be brushed clean, wiped down and put away dry.......

This review is from: V581 Gnocchi Board (Kitchen)

When I was really young, my family lived in Italy for a few years. My mom learned to make gnocchi there, and has made it through the years. It's one of my favorite pasta dishes and I learned to make it from my mom. But my gnocchi was never as good as hers. All the people who ate mine loved it, but mine was the only gnocchi they'd ever had, and I knew it was never as good as my mom's.

I saw a gnocchi board being used one day on the food channel and wondered what it was, as my mom had never used one, and I didn't know they existed. I promptly ordered this one from Amazon, and when it showed up, I went over to a friend's place to try it out. As usual, they were well pleased, but what was better was that *I* was finally satisfied! I'd finally made gnocchi that rivaled my mom's! I actually did a victory dance in the kitchen. You've no idea how great it felt. I never told my mom, and don't plan to, of course, but I finally did it.

The gnocchi board was what finally allowed me to make better gnocchi than I'd ever done before. It was a lot smaller than I expected, though why I was expecting a big one is beyond me as you only roll one piece of gnocchi at a time, so it's the perfect size. It's big enough for large pieces of gnocchi as well as smaller, average size, which is what I make.

I make the dough, roll it out like a snake, cut the pieces, then roll the pieces into a ball. Then I lightly roll the ball down the gnocchi board which widens it and gives it ridges, then put the pieces into the boiling water. The fatter pieces I squeeze just a touch before I put into the water. I used to do as my mom did and use my knuckle on the individual pieces, but like I say, it never came out as good for some reason. The gnocchi board made all the difference.

Even if your gnocchi comes out good already, try the gnocchi board. It'll make it even better. And for the price, it's worth trying out.
