    @blasting They are multi - purpose!

    Large BGE & Mini Max for the wok. A few old camp Dutch ovens and a wood fired oven. LSG 24” cabinet offset smoker. There are a few paella pans and a Patagonia cross in the barn. A curing chamber for bacterial transformation of meats...

    Ran across this thread from several months ago and happened to have  some gnocchi and everything else on hand.  Cooked this up tonight and was very happy with the results.  Thanks to @SciAggie for the post!

    @Carolina Q They are just used singularly. If you’ve never had gnocchi I heartily suggest you try them. Try to find a little restaurant that makes them from scratch. They are much lighter than the store bought variety. Think of little pillows of potato dumplings. 
    Interesting. These were actually tied together like a matched set. I'll give it a try. Been meaning to since I bought them. Thanks!
    Instead of rolling a gnocchi over one board, if you set it on one board on the counter and then roll the gnocchi with the other board, groove-side down, that would cut your time in half (yes, I still have my "Motion/Time Studies" text from college.... [/geek]).  
    My first gnocchi were from the freezer at Granato's Deli in SLC (homemade, then frozen).  They were tasty, easy to cook, and about a dozen of them kept you full the rest of the day, heavy!  
    Had some in an Italian place in Napa Valley, light as marshmallows and I had my epiphany.  My favorite local chef, Elio Scanu (now sadly moved to another part of the world) did a gnocchi class and I've been making them myself ever since.  He taught us to use a dinner fork and our thumb for the "grooves", the dumplings were sorta bowl-shaped with the grooves on the outside.

    You are a very smart individual. It has been brutally hot lately. Let me know when you’re coming.
