Tips on Spaetzle

[Kayelle]

I was thinking that it resembles a pizza pan to me.
In fact I had that same thought
(though I don't allow DH anywhere something sharp,
he's been known to lose digits and I'm not kidding here)
of taking a cheap-o-dollar-store pizza pan to experiment with.

Brilliant! A pizza pan would work! My pie pan was too small for a large pot of water.

Some steamer inserts would work.

Thanks for sending me to this post Kayelle. I tried making spaetzle for the second time (the first was a disaster). I used a steamer insert with pretty big holes and this recipe: Thibeault's Table: Traditional Hungarian Goulash.

I mooshed it through with a narrow s/s spatula, and it was slow going until I took a hint from that Youtube and started dipping the spatula in my soup. They were tender and wonderful, but I can see why I need a proper tool. New gadget time!
