AKA a potato ricer.

I just bought one of these mostly because it was on sale. Also, I have always thought it might be a useful kitchen tool.

Now that I have it, besides ricing potatoes, what useful things can I use it for?

:rolleyes:

I've used it to make "spaghetti" out of chestnut puree. It also comes in handy to make moss out of marzipan (for cake decorating).

Thank you! I knew it would be good for multi-tasking of some sort!

Spatzle is a kind of dumpling, isn't it?

Spätzle also sometimes makes its way into French cooking because it is common in the Alsace. This recipe for spätzle is from a Michelin 3-star chef in Burgundy. It's quite good served with game.
