On a bake day the bench scraper stays within reach, and the Norpro 577 does the job with a 6 by 4-inch stainless steel blade and a rounded handle formed from the same piece. Use the straight edge to lift sticky bread dough off the counter, divide it into even rolls and scrape the work surface clean of flour when you are done. The rounded handle gives a secure grip, and the flat, one-piece design stores under a cutting board.A measuring guide on the blade helps cut pasta and pastry to size and portion cookie dough evenly. In the kitchen beyond baking, it chops herbs and nuts and carries them from the board to the pan in one pass. It also cuts brownies and bar cookies into clean squares in the pan.Customers working with yeast doughs pair it with the Norpro Scandinavian dough whisk for mixing. For pie crust, it lifts and turns dough after the pastry blender has done its work, and it keeps the counter clear as you roll with the tapered rolling pin. Learn More

A ricer makes the smoothest mashed potatoes because it presses cooked potato through small holes, which breaks it up gently and keeps the texture from turning gluey. Norpro’s Deluxe Jumbo Ricer holds 3 cups at a time in an extra-large hopper perforated on all four sides, which moves a holiday batch along much faster than a small ricer.The body is cast aluminum, the hopper is stainless steel, and rubber insets in the handles give a secure grip. Rest hooks on the end hold it steady on the rim of a pot or bowl. Norpro notes that potatoes can go in peeled or unpeeled; the skins stay behind in the hopper. The large hopper takes cooked potatoes whole or halved.The ricer also makes gnocchi and spaetzle, purees applesauce and carrots, and squeezes water out of grated potatoes for crisp hash browns. For chunkier mashed potatoes, the Krona potato masher is the simpler tool. Customers planning Thanksgiving pair the two with a gravy separator. Learn More

The Victorinox bone dust scraper brushes down meat during butchering. Its soft polypropylene blade works much like a dental tongue scraper, removing bone fragments, bone dust and meat scraps from the surface of freshly cut meat.After a band saw cut through chops or a rack of ribs, a few strokes leave the surface clean for wrapping and display. A bone duster can also be used to remove the film from dry-aged beef before portioning, which cleans the face of the cut without wasting meat.Draw the scraper across the meat in one direction with light pressure, wiping the blade between passes. Keep it with the Fibrox Pro 10-inch Scimitar and the rest of the cutting tools at the block, and sanitize it with them at the end of the shift.It is light and easy to keep clean, so one can sit at every cutting station alongside the knives and the honing steel.Browse our Victorinox butcher knives for the knives that work alongside it.

Tomatoes, peaches and other soft-skinned produce defeat an ordinary peeler, and this F. Dick swivel peeler has a micro-serrated blade that grips the skin and takes it off thinly. It handles carrots and apples just as well.The swivel head follows the curve of the fruit or vegetable, so it removes an even layer with little waste. Serrations also hold their bite for a long time, which makes the peeler a heavy-duty tool for a prep station that peels by the case. It can also shave thin ribbons of zucchini or hard cheese.Pull the peeler toward you in long, even strokes for the thinnest peel. The swivel head adapts to round and long produce alike, from apples to cucumbers.For coring apples after peeling, the F. Dick apple corer is the companion. Citrus zest and decorative strips come from the F. Dick zester and channel knife. The table below lists F. Dick produce tools. Learn More

The Dexter-Russell Swiss peeler is a simple hand peeler for potatoes, carrots and apples, a practical spare for every prep station and kitchen drawer. It is a good choice for mangoes, potatoes, beets and other large, round fruits and vegetables, which are most easily skinned with a horizontal peeler. Its smooth blade is the better choice for hard vegetables such as squash, which can show grooves when peeled with a serrated blade.
