Westmark Spätzle Scraper

This scraper is designed to create the classic, rustic shape of hand-scraped spätzle, whereas a press produces uniform, extruded noodles. It is a more compact, manual tool that sits directly over your pot.

It is quite straightforward. You simply spread your dough onto the scraper and use the blade to push it through the holes directly into boiling water. It requires a bit of practice to get your rhythm down, but it is much easier than traditional hand-scraping methods.

Yes, the stainless steel construction is fully dishwasher safe. We recommend rinsing it immediately after use to prevent dough from drying and hardening in the holes.

It is designed to rest on the rim of standard-sized pots. If you are using an exceptionally large stockpot, you may need to hold it steady with one hand while scraping with the other.

You will want a standard spätzle batter, which should be thick enough to hold its shape but loose enough to be pushed through the holes with minimal pressure. If the dough is too stiff, it will be difficult to scrape; if it is too runny, the noodles will not hold their shape.
