A good tool is one that earns its place in the kitchen. The Bench Scraper is one of those “how did I live without this” tools that’s small, sturdy, and surprisingly versatile. It is the kind of tool you’ll reach for every day, whether you’re baking a loaf of sourdough or clearing a cutting board. Here’s how to make the most of it:
Instead of dragging your knife blade across the board to scoop up chopped veg or herbs, use the Bench Scraper. Its flat, wide edge slides under ingredients without damaging delicate edges.
Whether you’re making sourdough, biscuits, or pizza dough, the Bench Scraper is perfect for dividing portions evenly. Its high-carbon steel blade glides through cold butter or chilled pastry with ease.
The Bench Scraper makes it easy to lift and transfer chopped vegetables, herbs, or minced garlic from board to pan without dropping a thing. It’s also great for collecting bits of dough or flour after kneading.
Flour, dough, and crumbs can pile up fast when you’re baking. Instead of using your knife or a damp cloth, reach for the Bench Scraper. Its flat, sturdy edge clears everything in one pass keeping your workspace tidy without damaging the surface.
Wooden cutting boards and butcher blocks don’t need a soak. In fact, too much water can cause warping and cracks. Instead, hold the Bench Scraper at an angle and scrape away stuck-on bits, oils, and crumbs. It’s the same principle as wiping out a cast iron skillet — minimal water, maximum care.
Need to spread frosting, dough, or even a thick sauce? The Bench Scraper’s wide, flat surface makes it easy to spread evenly and smoothly.
When baking, the Bench Scraper handles cold butter better than a knife. Its sturdy blade cuts cleanly through chilled dough without sticking or melting the butter.
The Bench Scraper isn’t flashy, but it’s one of those tools that earns its place by doing the small jobs well. And like everything we make at Field, it’s crafted to last. Made from American stainless steel and cherry wood, it’s built to take a beating and keep showing up, day after day.
