Scrapers, Cutters & Dividers
Essential tools for every baker – our scrapers, cutters, stamps and dividers make dough handling easier and more precise. A good dough scraper is invaluable for lifting and dividing dough, cleaning your work surface and working with wet or high-hydration dough. Cutters and stamps help shape pastry, portion bread or slice pizza cleanly and consistently.
Flexible Dough Scraper
Made from firm yet flexible plastic, a dough scraper is perfect for cleaning bowls and work surfaces. Use the straight edge for mixer bowls or the curved edge for hand-mixing bowls – either way, it makes sure no dough is wasted. Scrapers are also handy for dividing dough and moving it around your bench. Tough and versatile, a good scraper will last for years and can be cleaned by hand or in the dishwasher.
Dough Cutter or Divider
With a rigid blade, usually metal but sometimes heavy-duty plastic, a dough cutter is more robust than a scraper. It’s excellent for scraping stuck dough from surfaces, cleaning baking stones, and portioning dough into loaves, rolls, or pizza bases. Sturdy and precise, it’s an indispensable tool for regular bread bakers.
FAQs
What is the difference between a dough scraper and a dough cutter?
A dough scraper is flexible, designed to clean bowls and lift dough, while a dough cutter is rigid and better for portioning dough and scraping work surfaces.
Can I wash dough scrapers and cutters in the dishwasher?
Most plastic and metal scrapers and cutters are dishwasher-safe, although hand-washing will extend their life.
Do I need both a scraper and a cutter for bread baking?
They are complementary tools - a scraper is great for handling wet or sticky dough, and a cutter gives clean, precise divisions for loaves, rolls or pizza bases.
What type of scraper is best for artisan bread?
A flexible plastic scraper is best for cleaning bowls and lifting high-hydration dough, while a metal scraper is ideal for working directly on the bench.
