Spaetzle Maker - Nokedli Szaggató

Spaetzle maker, also known as Nokedli szaggató, is an easy-to-use spaetzle press machine best for cooking homemade noodles for German and Hungarian recipes.

This sturdy spaetzle maker has a robust stainless-steel base that can be hitched to the cooking pot for increased stability. Compared to traditional noodle makers, the basket prevents the dough from falling over the side and also prevents any injuries to your fingers. The comfortable handle allows you to hold the base in place, and it can be used to hang it from the wall for simple storage.

How should I use it? 

Place the spaetzle maker on top of a pot filled two-thirds with boiling water. Fill the basket with the prepared dough and slide it back and forth, allowing the pasta to drop into the water. Let the noodles cook until they float to the surface.

You can find the recipe for making authentic Hungarian nokedli noodles here. 

Suitable for use with pots 20-26cm in diameter.

The history of spaetzle

Spaetzle is a traditional egg noodle from the German region of Swabia, but it has become popular across neighbouring Austria and Switzerland. It is often enjoyed with creamy sauces and rich gravies or served with cheese and topped with crispy fried onion. Swabians moving to Hungary have brought this dish to the country, where it is known as nokedli and it is the perfect side dish to serve with chicken paprikash.
