Sample, not realProper bit of kit
Feels solid in the hand, the rolled handle is comfortable and the edge is nice and straight. Got the 25 cm to go with a big wooden board.

Stainless Steel Bench Scraper with Ruler
£8.99
Bakers keep one of these within reach the whole time dough is out. It cuts, lifts, turns and tidies, and the ruler along the edge means rolls and buns come out the same size.

How to use it
Three jobs, one blade
- 01
Measure and divide
Lay the edge against the dough, read the ruler and press straight down to cut even pieces.
- 02
Lift and turn
Slide the blade under sticky dough to fold it or carry it to the tin.
- 03
Scrape the worktop clean
Push flour and dried dough into a pile with the flat edge, then wipe the blade dry.
Close up
Flat steel, marked up
Rolled handle
The top edge is rolled into a tube, so you press down with your whole palm instead of a thin metal edge.
Conversion table
Etched on the blade: cups, fluid ounces, tablespoons and millilitres, handy when a recipe is in American measures.
Ruler
Centimetres along the cutting edge with inches above. Mark a log of dough before you cut it into pieces.
Size guide
| Width | Weight | Good for |
|---|---|---|
| 20 cm | About 130 g | Most home baking, small worktops |
| 22 cm | About 140 g | A little more reach for pizza dough |
| 25 cm | About 160 g | Large batches, wide pastry sheets |
| 30 cm | About 190 g | Clearing a big worktop in few passes |
All four are 12 cm tall. Width is the length of the blade, end to end.
Compared
Steel or plastic scraper?
A flexible plastic scraper bends to empty a curved bowl. A steel one stays rigid, which is what you want for cutting and for clearing a flat surface.

Questions
20 cm suits most bread and pastry at home. Go to 25 or 30 cm if you work large batches of dough or want to clear a wide worktop in fewer passes.
It is a straight steel edge that cuts cleanly through dough, so keep fingers clear when you press down. Don't use it on nonstick surfaces, which bare steel can scratch.
Dividing bread dough, cutting butter into flour, lifting sticky dough to fold it, moving chopped vegetables from board to pan, and scraping flour and dried bits off the worktop.
Roll the dough into a log, lay the scraper against it and nick a mark at every few centimetres on the ruler, then press straight down at each mark. A kitchen scale makes a good final check.

Sample, not realDidn't suit my board
I mostly roll on a wooden board with a groove around the edge, and the scraper catches in the groove. Better on a flat worktop, I'll stick with my old one for now.

Sample, not realNaan night
Divided the naan dough into eight on the ruler lines. Everyone got the same size, which stopped the arguments.

Sample, not realWasn't sure I needed one
Always thought a bench scraper was a fancy baker thing. Then I tried making bagels and the dough was so sticky it glued itself to my hands. Sliding the blade under it and folding it over kept my hands clean and the dough in one piece. Now I use it for every bread recipe and to clear the counter after. The 25 cm is big but I like it.

Sample, not realTook me a few bakes
Never used a metal one before and it took me a few bakes to get the angle right for lifting wet dough without it sticking. Now I wouldn't be without it.

I use it to scrape flour and dough off the picnic table when we bake flatbread outdoors. Easy to wipe down after.

Sample, not realGot one for dad, then myself
Bought this for my dad, who has started making his own bread since he retired. Used it once while I was round there to divide a batch of rolls and ended up getting a second one for myself. The ruler in centimetres and inches is clearer than I expected and the edge goes straight through the dough without dragging. Dad has the 25 cm and I went for the 20 cm since my worktop is smaller.
