For max. 250 grams of dough the product works just fine, but then the dough begins because of the water vapor to cook and you have to scratch each hole free with a toothpick in the holes and on the bottom. The same happens when the water is a tad overcooked and too hot. Overall, the scraping is also quite cumbersome and takes a long time, so that the first for a long time are cold, before the dough has been used up, but the resulting Knöpfli look very pretty. For single portions it goes.
