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.
