Gnocchi Boards and Wooden Butter Paddles to Easily Create Authentic Homemade Pasta and Butter Without Sticking - Set of 2 Makers - 9.5 inches

Works great for making butter.

I purchased these after I learned how to make Gnocchi. They work well and small enough to store easily in any drawer. Love these.

Thoroughly enjoy these! These help smack the butter into shape and get the excess milk and water out. I love these.

This item comes in a box that makes it gift-friendly to a relative or friend. There are leather-like straps (not sure actual material, but sturdy and resilient to water) on each paddle, which did not show signs of damage after our first use when we did not get to cleaning them for two days (and they were exposed to, or submerged for short periods, in sink water). I looked at a competitor set of paddles before buying these, and they were comparable in price, style, and size... ultimately, despite there being no reviews yet for this one (I think it must be a newer offering on Amazon), I chose because the company’s branding looked more “old-fashioned country kitchen American” (i.e. special/quaint - especially with the added touch of cute product packaging that looks like a gift box), and I am not disappointed. There is also a logo stamped into the wood on the back sides of the paddles, very nice detail that adds to the feel of high manufacturing care and quality of the product.We are new to making our own butter but these work as described for the task at hand. Nice pieces of wood with no problematic splinters, and well carved without defect on the diveted faces of the paddles (that make grabbing a fresh block of churned butter possible from its churning jar). Our only suggestion, and this may show our novice experience, would be to further differentiate from competitors by offering this in its existing length, as well as a slightly Extra Long version (just an inch or two more) for those who may complain that they are too short. I have not seen anything other than the one length through my Amazon product research, so it must be the standard length, but I know that some customers might really be interested in having options for personal comfort. Just a thought, thanks for your piece in helping get us started as new homemade butter-makers!

Great quality wooden paddles! I personally used them to press butter into sticks and it did the job perfectly. After washing remember to maintain the wood using food grade oil to preserve the wood and prevent cracking/splitting.

The media could not be loaded. After an amazing trip to Italy, we decided that we had to try and make fresh Gnocchi. This Gnocchi board made making Gnocchi so easy and fun. It also looks great next to my pizza peel.

I am still playing with them, but I have made butter and used these paddles which work great. I do plan on trying my hand at making Gnocchi. That should be a learning experience. I am very please with the quality, it looks to be made of fine wood, well crafted, and should stand up to years of use.Make sure you butter has been rinse your butter with cold water until water is clear, run cold water over your paddles. Make sure your butter is cool it will help it from sticking. You can now add a little of your butter and use the paddles to press the milk out of it, you want as much butter milk out as you can get to make the butter last longer.Cut butter into the size you want and use your paddles to shape it. If you want balls just cut into small cubes and roll it around on your paddles.The paddles does a nice job at getting the extra butter milk out without using your hands which can get messy. The price is great. I am very happy with this product.

I use these for making gnocchi. The groves are a great depth for that and they just look pretty stacked up with my cutting boards.
