With that I make spätzle quite often because it is fast enough to do it on a weeknight.
I’ve seen people do it with a colander, but that seems a bit fiddly… And I don’t even want to imagine what you went through with the strainer.
Took about 2 hours just to make the spaetzle… I will say I took 3 10 minute breaks because of how sore my arm got. Bowl of batter, scoop 1-2 spoon fulls, then squeeze till no more came out. Had to be careful though, because by time about 3 squeezes worth were in the oil the first squeezer worth was already cooked so we then had to alternate squeezing and picking them out with a slotted spatula.
The recipe I found on the internet was for 10 servings but there was only 3 of us so we I told my girlfriend to cut it in half. Somehow there was a miscommunication and instead of halving it, she doubled it.
We both loved the final result but agreed to never make it again due to the effort it took.
I have something similar to this thing.

Yeah… That would of made things so much easier. I used basically something like this https://a.co/d/dBsDis5
I imagine that must have taken ages to do.

Well if you have too much, spätzle freeze really well. Just throw them into boiling water for a few seconds to heat them up again.
