I have a sort of reversal of this to ask. Some time ago I picked up a Spätzle Maker from a Sur La Table sale rack for $4. Besides making Spätzle, does anyone know of a use for one?


Can you use it to grate frozen butter when making pie or pastry crust?

I make Nokedli (Hungarian noodles to serve with goulash) or drop dumplings for clear broth/ soup with my speatzle maker.  It's not a versitile tool but when you need one, it's a great thing to have.  I guess these uses are very similar to spaeztle, so maybe this isn't helpful!

Grating frozen butter is worth a try. I’ve often thought there should be a version of the rotary crank cheese graters for that, LOL.

I will have to look up Nokedli and give them a try.

Tonight, the axle of the spin mechanism of my OXO Salad Spinner broke. It took me about 1 minute to figure out I didn’t want to cook without one, and about another 5 to order the replacement.
