Also called: dough scraper

On the counter, a bench scraper lifts and turns sticky dough, cuts it into even portions and clears dried bits of flour. It also helps move chopped nuts or chocolate from board to bowl and keeps edges straight when working with laminated dough.

Cake decorators use the long, straight edge against a spinning turntable to get smooth sides on a frosted cake. Flexible plastic versions with one curved edge also work well for scraping bowls.
