Garganelli and Gnocchi Stripper

The tool does not include printed instructions, but the process is straightforward. You simply place a small piece of dough on the board and use the included dowel to roll it across the ridges, which creates the signature shape and texture.

No, this tool is made of natural beechwood and should not be put in the dishwasher. High heat and prolonged water exposure can cause the wood to warp or crack, so we recommend hand-washing it with warm water and drying it immediately.

While it is specifically designed to create the ridges needed for gnocchi and garganelli, you can use it to add texture to other small pasta shapes or even to create decorative patterns on butter or fondant.

It is not strictly required, but treating the beechwood with a food-safe mineral oil before your first use can help protect the wood and prevent pasta dough from sticking to the surface.

A light dusting of flour on the board before you start rolling is the best way to prevent sticking. If you find dough building up in the grooves, let it dry completely and use a stiff-bristled brush to clean it out.
