Oxo Good Grips Pastry Scraper Reviews

• It slices, it dices... it scrapes!

  
  By A2IKX7H2PLHULP on 2005-11-30
  Yes, it's good at what it does: scraping. As an added bonus, there are measurements on the scraper in case you really need to get precise with the dough you're scraping off the counter. This thing does a great job of cleaning up the countertop after kneading bread and getting flour all over the place. So it really does do more than scraping: you can use it to divide dough, clean gunk off the counter, release sticky dough from a smooth countertop, measuring something that's less than 4" long, fight ninjas, etc.
  
  

• Excellent Product

  
  By A3LDQM3GCURG92 on 2006-02-11
  Update 8/25/07: I love this so much that I bought a second one! Now I have one for baking and another for everything else. When I cook big meals, I tire of having to rewash it.
  
  This is my second bench scraper. The first was a single sheet of metal that curved to form a handle. The measurements were painted on it. I probably paid $3 for it. After repeated use and trips to the diswasher, the measurements began to wear off and the bottom started to get uneven.
  
  I am so thankful for this version by OXO! There's the obvious sturdy handle, but what I love the most is that the measurements are etched instead of painted. I have to have the measurements because I use bench scrapers to measure the thicknes of dough in addition to cutting product (you'll never cut brownies or bars again with a knife) and cleaning the board. This product is a lot heavier than my previous version and I like the weighty feel.
  
  Dishwasher safe.
  
  

• OXO-- Great Designs With Comfort In Mind

  
  By on 2000-12-18
  I am a huge fan of OXO International's kitchen, tool, and garden products. Their comfort factor is amazing, and it's all in the *grip*. I discovered this company through my 87-year-old father-in-law who continues to create delicious Ukrainian and Slav dishes. Awarded the Tylenol Arthritic Award, these designs assist in his staying happy and active.

  Adding this first-rate pastry scraper to his OXO collection was heaven sent, for Pop announced that *we*--the entire family--would be making meat and cheese stuffed pirogues (small pastry ravioli) AND square sugar cookies, for his entire gardening club!

  For large pastry tasks, (that was fun by the way), or just dicing onions for goulash, this scraper gets the job done. The sharp edged steel blade, comfy large handle, nifty increment marker, incredible durability, and being dishwasher safe all add up to a simple comment--"What did I ever do without this!" Note: due to blade sharpness, choose a suitable cutting surface and watch young ones carefully.

  Another versatile OXO product at a bargain price.
  
  

• Good for pizza dough and flour cleanup!

  
  By A382E2AJH80FWV on 2000-07-04
  I use this for pizza dough cutting and also to scrap the counters clean of flour. It works quite well for both operations. I'm not certain how great it is for pastries. Seems quite nice. OXO usually makes high quality items, and this is no exception.

• Close but not quite
  By A3638PM7AFIU3K on 2005-09-23
  First and only item of its kind I ever owned/bought, can't compare to anything else. It is realy useful portioning the dough, scraping the dough from the counter, a lot better than the knife I previously used. I had to take one star away only because I wish it was longer sized - I make bread in large batches in a Bosch mixer, 5-6 loaves at a time - for smaller amounts of dough however it should work just fine. Hope this helps.
  
  
• $7.99 and Two reasons for choosing Oxo
  By AXO4PQU0XG3TG on 2007-03-06
  This scraper's measurements are etched unlike the Kitchenaid's that are printed.
  
  The length is 6 inches whereas the Salton is not quite 6 inches.
  
  I'm getting this because of success with the Breadbaker's Apprentice book.
  
  
• BENCH KNIFE
  By A1CUDGCXGK8ILR on 2006-02-23
  This knife was reviewed on America's Test Kitchen on T.V. It is great and the price was right.
  
  
• The additional hand you need in the kitchen
  By A1QX0TNQR6UPRT on 2007-05-10
  If you chop a lot of vegetables and herbs as I do and use the knife to transport them off the cutting board and into the pan, you end up with a dull knife. You could of course use your hand, but this is one of those times when the human hand is not the best tool.
  This is when the OXO Good Grips 73281 Pastry Scraper comes really handy (pun intended.) It scrapes the cutting board or the counter top no matter what you throw at it...pastry, herbs, chopped vegetables, fresh egg pasta ... you name it.
  
  The Scraper's handle is comfortable and sturdy, the blade is stiff and appropriately thin at the edge without been sharp and there is even a ruler at the edge to help you in measuring when following recipes. Great tool.
  
  
  
• Every kitchen should have one
  By A20OTV2T7DZL7I on 2008-01-07
  This is the one tool every kitchen should have. I use it for everything. I diced artichoke hearts for spinach and artichoke dip. Then I cut my kids waffles, right on the lines so all the little squares are intact and can still hold the syrup, (they love that). Then I used it to cut the cheesecake brownies right in the pan, all the way to the edges. I made biscuits and slid them from the counter to the pan without squashing them like I normally do. And this is always on the counter when I chop or slice anything to scoop and transfer to the pan easily. I am going to buy a bunch and give them away as gifts. It is such a simple tool, but very useful and time saving. And it doesn't take up hardly any space. I can't say the same about a lot of my other kitchen tools.
  
  
• Love it and so many uses
  By A24YEHF8LWM4US on 2007-03-09
  I really had no idea what this was for but since I hope to be a pastry chef some day thought it looked cool. I soon realized that it works great for not only cutting dough but helps with icing cakes too. I made a cake two weeks ago and slipped when decorating and the decorations looked weird at best, I grabbed this tool and was easily and flawlessly able to take a way the part I goofed off my cake board. It's amazing how one simple tool can make a world of difference. The measuring lines are such a great added bonus too for dough.
  
  
• pastry tool
  By A2YR82F5DLE576 on 2007-03-09
  This seems like a handy tool, 'tho I,ve only used it to chop strawberries. Not the best tool for that. Mine has a small groove cut into the middle of blade, which shouldn't be there. However, it's too much bother to return it.
  
  
• Everyone who cooks should have one.
  By A3QW2OS6CW8VQV on 2007-03-25
  Why I didn't get this item before is beyond me.
  I have limited preparation space and the Good Grips Pasry Scraper is a time saver.
  Never realized how easy to put a meal together could be.
  I reccommend this product to anyone who has to chop food and add to other items being prepared.
  
  
• Great tool.
  By ABCLXCUVVQ4FJ on 2007-05-13
  This is a pro tool. High quality is evident. It even has a measurement etched into the bottom edge.
  
  
• This is so cool!!!
  By A1PMXU84LUK9F5 on 2007-06-14
  It's much sturdier than I imagined and comes in handy for so many things. What an investment all kitchens should have. I can't praise this enough!
  
  
• You could shave with this scraper!
  By AOV3T6WWATC65 on 2007-08-13
  The edge is sharp! Treat it like a knife when you're washing and keep the band-aids near. Once I healed from the wounds, this feature proved to be quite handy. Now I prefer it to the duller scrapers but both have their uses. Speaking of wounds, tell Amazon to drop the dogfighting mags.
  
  
• very nice
  By A36R3LFO0UFG07 on 2007-08-29
  This product is great for cutting dough but I use it more for scraping my counter and my cutting boards! The measurements are nice. Mine has a few spots on it that resemble rust though and I've only had it 6 months. This may be where the coating is coming off?
  
  
• works great, no complaints
  By A31U1UYZNDTMEI on 2007-10-20
  works exactly like you hope it would. Cuts through dough, easy to clean up, goes in dishwasher. grip is comfortable as well.
  
  
• A Fabulous Tool for Fudge
  By A5S40MHKXE4Y6 on 2007-12-29
  This is a great product. I like to make fudge for the holidays and I was having trouble cutting it out once it had hardened in the refrigerator. My sister suggested one of these for cutting brownies, so I immediately thought of my fudge, also. Well, a few days later I ordered this product and I am absolutely satisfied with it. It really helped cut the fudge into manageable pieces. It helped to make them look professional enough to take to holiday parties. And, according to my sister it will work great for brownies. It keeps the brownies from tearing into unsightly pieces and makes it possible to cut them into nice evenly spaced squares because you are essentially pressing on them from above and there is no cross cutting movement. I have also used this to cut frozen pound cake and again, I am fully satisfied with the results. I also find it very handy to use as a scraper for the countertops and cutting boards. I can hardly wait to use it when I divide my homemade pizza dough. I don't know how I got by without it for so many years.
  
  
• scraper
  By A1ZLCH5TA6KZDC on 2008-01-19
  thought it would be a bit sharper but it is a very nice scraper it will do the job. very sturdy
  
  
• More than just for pastry
  By ARXU3FESTWMJJ on 2008-04-27
  This is a great paster scraper, the measurements on it are handy and the plastic handle very pleasing to grip. It cuts easily through dough, even some of my thick cookie doughs. Don't think that it's only for pastry though! I use it all the time when cutting up veggies, etc. rather than using my knife to scoop things off the cutting board. Much safer and gives you more surface area to carry items with as well. Definitely an item every kitchen needs!
  
  
  
• Definitely worth it.
  By A27Q1DJ9E0QF1B on 2008-05-09
  Very comfortable to hold and use. Very effective at getting dough off the cutting board. Awesome for chopping garlic. This thing is just fantastic.
  
  
• Great for all cooking operations
  By A156FYYPJF7R7H on 2008-05-16
  I recieved this tool for Christmas so I can start baking, but it has almost replaced my Chefs Knife?!?! I was trained using the chef knife but this easy gripping knife is very comfortable and easy to use.
  
  I use it for all my bread baking from rolls to bread because the the handy ruler on the blade make getting the correct dementions easy. My dow does not stick to the blade as with a knife or a plasitc dow cutters.
  
  I like how I can use the tool to chop vegitable easily and quickly with out worring about them moving. It has made me a quicker and better chopper.
  
  Enjoy
  
  
• A Good Grips Good Tool
  By A1DHT81X110A59 on 2008-05-25
  This is great for measuring and dividing dough with clearly marked measurements and a sharp edge. I've put it through the dishwasher without any problems and love the easy to grip rubber handle. It gives a firm grip for wet or coated hands.
  The only problem with this tool is if you want to use it to lift chopped items off the cutting board. The handle doesn't allow you to get the blade flush with the cutting board for easy pick up.
  But for scraping dough off the board, a slight angle and a firm scrape do a great job of clearing and cleaning the board of any extra dough or flour.
  
  
• Great Item!
  By A1VUSEVGA9MM3F on 2007-01-03
  This is a great kitchen item, great for picking up chopped food, cutting, scraping dough and even has a helpful ruler on the edge of the blade.
  
  
• Great pastry cutter plus scraper.
  By AKT2HTXIPYA0U on 2007-02-09
  This kitchen tool has many uses and is indeed very handy.Exactly what I was looking for.
  
  
• Well designed comfortable pastry scraper with many uses
  By AKMEXKMJQAHRS on 2007-02-28
  I have a King Arthur Flour scraper and I prefer the OXO over it. It has a somewhat sharp edge. It is not sharpened at the angle of a regular knife blade; it is somewhat blunt-about a 70 degree, inclusive angle. This still makes it a snap to pinch off dough. It is also usefull for cleaning my wooden cutting boards or any flat surface you might want to scrape or collect bits off of. The scale is a "bit of fancy" that some might find useful. The handle is somewhat soft, and very well ergonomically designed. It fits the hand and palm comfortably, unlike the KAF's wood handle (not to mention its totally blunt edge).
  
  
• An excellent baking tool
  By A2VXILQLBN4TMC on 2007-03-12
  This gadget works great for scraping dough off the counter while kneading bread or rolling out cookies. It is also perfect for cutting bars or brownies in the pan. It is easy to wash and useful for more than one task, both important for kitchen gadgets. I'd buy it again.
  
  
• Sturdy scraper
  By A36KTUSC06STJH on 2007-03-21
  This scraper is easy to hold onto and sturdy. It's a really handy addition to my kitchen. I've used it to chop chocolate and clear off my counter between batches of cookies. I also like the measurment lines on the end.
  
  
• Great addition to any kitchen
  By A1XPUXAFBQ2FEO on 2007-04-05
  I've always wanted one of these, and am so glad that I chose this brand. It is very high quality and a nice design -- I know it will last for a long time. I highly recommend this product for any cook!!
