Westmark Spätzle & Potato Ricer – Heavy-Duty German Cast Aluminum Noodle Press

Westmark Spätzle & Potato Ricer

Engineered in Germany for durability and versatility, this heavy die-cast press handles the kitchen workhorse tasks with ease. The ricer combines a long, balanced form with a hinged upper handle and round pressing holes, designed to push dough through the perforations for slender spaetzle noodles. At 16 inches long, with a 3 inch diameter and a 3.5 inch deep container, it provides generous leverage and room to work in batches. The tool doubles as a puree press for cooked potatoes, vegetables, and soft fruits, expanding its usefulness beyond noodles.

To create longer spaetzle strands, position the press a few inches above the boiling water and squeeze; for shorter noodles, hold the press a bit higher and press directly above the pot. When pressure is applied, the dough flows cleanly through the perforations, producing smooth, uniform results that resemble traditional German styles.
