7 Uses for a Bench Scraper

The Bench Scraper is a cleverly useful tool in the kitchen. Its wide shape and flat edge makes it a versatile instrument. What is a bench scraper used for? What does it do?

1) Cutting and Dividing Dough

A bench scraper is the best tool to use for cutting and dividing dough, from breads to biscuits. I particularly love using it for scones.

2) Scooping Veggies from a Cutting Board

Because of its wide shape, this instrument is ideal for scooping up chopped vegetables from a cutting board to transfer them to a dish or container.

3) Cleaning

A bench scraper is the perfect tool to use to scrape up scraps or flour from the countertop. It’s great for removing stuck-on dough bits.

4) Scoring Dough

This instrument is great for scoring bread or pie dough. It’s sharp enough to cut lines in the dough.

5) Leveling Dry Ingredients When Measuring

For that perfectly measured cup of flour, level out your ingredients with a bench scraper. It is wide enough to cover the whole measuring cup and has a flat edge that is perfect for scraping.

6) Cutting and Portioning Desserts

No need to pull out the knife, the bench scraper is sharp enough to cut and portion desserts such as cookie bars.

7) Kneading Dough

Use this tool to knead sticky dough. It will help prevent messy hands. And it is perfect for scooping up the dough after it’s been kneaded too.

Extra Use:

It is a great cake decorating tool. Use the scraper to smooth out frosting and eliminate any air bubbles.
