using that sliding box style, the dough needs to be much thinner than shown in the video (and my recipe) - the shown dough is much too thick/elastic/plastic to simply drip thru the holes in the slider plate - and there's not really a good way to apply pressure to the dough in the box to 'force' it through the holes whilst slip-sliding away . . .

having lived in both Baden-Wuerttemberg and 'lower' Bavaria, not quite entirely sure I agree with some of his opinions and statements about where which type is found/popular . . . but whatever.

I'm aware the box style needs a runnier batter 👍 the vids for barriehie who was saying he was going to use a chopping board.

The german guy looks pretty experienced with that board!

My dough/batter is pretty darn thick. I call it a dotter. It will eventually ooze through the holes by itself, which is why I leave it over the mixing bowl when not in use. The texture is similar to a very soft and wet bread dough or really, really cold molasses. The box on mine has short little flaps on the sides that probably help the dough go through. I can't tell if SSOP's has them or not. Mine is at least 20 years old, more likely closer to 25 considering the store I bought it at is long gone, closing before hurricane Charley hit the area where it was located and it had closed before the hurricane hit. It was a cooking supplies store that was geared toward the wealthy winter folk who kept homes there and it had all kinds of esoteric goodies.
