Bench Scraper or Bowl Scraper?
Use a metal bench scraper to divide and shape dough balls, lift dough off the counter, and scrape off dried flour. Use a flexible bowl scraper to mix, fold and empty the bowl. If you buy one thing, get a set with both.

FAQ
What’s the difference between a dough scraper and a bench scraper?
People use the terms interchangeably. Usually “bench scraper” means the stiff metal one and “bowl scraper” means the flexible plastic or silicone one.
Can I cut pizza with a bench scraper?
In a pinch, yes. Press straight down. A pizza cutter or rocker is easier.
