The basic bench scraper is one of the simplest tools in the kitchen. However,it is also one of the most useful and versatile ones.
I have had mine for many years now. Of course, I use it to scrape excess dough off the counter or to cut pastry into segments. However, I also use it for cutting chilled brownies or pecan squares into perfectly neat little rectangles. When my children were little, they used the bench scraper in order to safely cut fat chubby carrots into big chunky hunks for stew. Yesterday, my husband used the bench scraper to expedite a tedious task--the defrosting of the freezer. We have a freezer that needs to be defrosted annually because the frost accumulates...the bench scraper is the perfect tool for quickly scraping some of that frost off the shelves.
Basic in design and affordable to buy, the basic bench scraper is a "must have" on my kitchen list. It is one of those tools that Icontinually call into action. Do you use a bench scraper in your kitchen?
