OXO Bench Scraper

A bench scraper is a tool that every home cook can benefit from. You can use it for moving stuff around your board, transferring ingredients, scraping and cleaning flour off your cutting board, or cutting dough if you’re making bread. It’s such a versatile tool, and it’s really cheap — $15. Aside from my knife, it’s the tool that is probably at my side the most frequently. I don’t cook without it, and that’s been the case for at least 15 years. It’s always sitting on my cutting board because I just use it all the time. I think a lot of people will maybe pick things up with the side of their knife, or they’ll try awkwardly to scrape things off the board with their hand. A bench scraper is the tool to use for that. It makes cooking much cleaner and more efficient, and, I think, a lot more fun.
