I am thrilled by the genuine Shaker. Firstly, because it is naturally his purpose correspondingly easy to cook noodles. For the quick start, a recipe for spaetzle with the appropriate quantities is printed on the side of the shaker. That makes it itself very easily to lay directly going. Also works very well. Only it can vary depending on part used to be necessary to cut the noodles with some sort of "scraper" below, so that they fall into the water at the desired length.
In addition, I use it now as Shaker for pancake batter. Course for no scale on the shaker, but simply shaking the ingredients according to the recipe in the shaker, vigorously, and then press the center of the pan - ready. So you can meter the pancake super, and has no smearing and drop from the trowel more on the stove! Just try, works great! I have not regretted buying :-)
