If you don’t have a bench scraper, you really should pick one up.
How do I love thee…? Let me count the ways:
- Cuts bread doughs like a champ
- Scrapes leftover flour and crud from your counters after shaping loaves, cutting biscuits or cookies
- Makes scooping up and moving small things like chopped veggies (or aforementioned leftover flour) easy
- Cuts squares, brownies, lasagnas and other dishes in straight even rows
Look for a scraper that has a rigid metal blade. There are plastic ones, but they aren’t quite as sturdy/versatile. A nice handle (like the one on the Oxo Good Grips one pictured) is also a must since you’re likely to have goopy, floury hands while using one.
