You won't know how you lived without one of these. I have two and use them all the time. They're also called bench scrapers or pastry scrapers. ~Susan

Amazon.com Review
Calibrated in 1/4 inches for measuring pastry, this 5-inch-wide scraper is not only useful for baking and cleaning cutting surfaces, it can also be used to crush garlic cloves and dice vegetables. It's made of 18/8 stainless steel, with a rugged synthetic handle that's textured for a firm grip when wet. For cleaning convenience, it's dishwasher-safe. The first year of the lifetime warranty against defects is "hassle-free," with a replacement shipped at no cost and without question if a defect is detected. --Fred Brack

Customer Reviews

not enough of a great thing
For decades, the makers of pastry scrapers obeyed an unspoken code: never make a handle that is actually graspable. I guess if they did that, and made a durable product to boot, they would never sell another one.

I imagine the designers at Kitchenaid won't be invited to any of those people's parties for unceremoniously breaking this vow and adding a handle that is actually very comfortable and allows an unprecedented amount of control and endurance in scraping, cutting, and most importantly for me, cutting butter into flour with this beautifully designed implement.

The only thing they could have done better? Give me more. This scraper is only 5 inches wide...less than the industry standard of six. Well, give me a big honkin NINE inches already! You've got that great handle, you could easily hoist a big blade on it.

And that's the only improvement I could suggest to this best-available scraper.

Handy kitchen helper
I bought this for all sorts of uses in the kitchen and am very happy with the quality of the product. Kitchenaid consistently produces quality products. I use it when making bread to scrape it off the board to prevent sticking, for dividing the dough for rolls and loaves. Overall I'm very pleased with it.

Great little tool
I give it 5 stars for scraping but if I needed the numbers printed on the blade, well, they wore off. I don't know whether I accidentally scrubbed them off or the dishwasher suds were too rough. It doesn't matter to us because we don't use the numbers, but if you do, be a little more gentle cleaning it.
