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

Very comfortable to hold and use. Very effective at getting dough off the cutting board. Awesome for chopping garlic. This thing is just fantastic.

I love this tool! It was so easy to separate the large batch of bread dough into the portions needed for each loaf. It is easy to use and easy to clean. I wish I had one years ago!

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!

I have used the scraper for several months and it is the best one. The grip hand is comfortable and the blade works very well for both a dough and the pantry board.

I like this item. I use it to scoop up diced foods and removing excess dough after cutting cookies out with cookie cutters. Another ergonomic tool from OXO--a little heavy compared to others though.

I use this more for scooping than scraping pastry dough. It is a handy addition to my gadget stash. I haven't tried chopping with it yet but I think it would work well for onions, garlic & fresh herbs.

Oxo's Good Grips Pastry Scraper is an indispensable tool in the kitchen, not just for dough scraping / dividing, but also for cutting brownies and fudge, chopping chocolate, and even chopping nuts and veggies.

Hefty in the hand, the pastry scraper is a substantial weight with an ergonomic handle that makes it easy to hold onto. However, the blade is lethally sharp; be particularly cautious if you're chopping something hard like carrots where the blade is likely to bounce or slip; a trip to the emergency room might result (haven't had it happen with this, but two of my (klutzy) family members sliced themselves open on the OXO Good Grips Mango Splitter blade). This is an invaluable tool for slicing brownies or bar cookies in the pan, for dividing yeast doughs before baking, and for chopping last-minute ingredients; in fact, you might want to order two, since this might become your favorite kitchen tool.

I like this dough scraper. You get it for a good price. I purchased it a couple of weeks ago and I am using it all the time. Mostly for my pizzadough. It is durable and you can even measure with it. Sure recommend this product.

I just got this a week ago and can't understand why at 50 years of age I am just learning of this tool. It should be mandatory in every kitchen. I have used it to chop and dice and being able to pick up veggies etc with it is the best part. Saves time and like the previous poster stated I too have arthritis and I love how easy it is to chop and scoop with the rubber type handle. Love this tool.

Very comfortable to hold...I have arthritis, and it does a great job of helping with daily cutting and scraping chores. After chopping mirepoix with my chef's knife, it "evens" out the veggie dice sizes quite nicely and scoops everything into the pot beautifully. I'm very happy with my purchase.

I have intended to purchase one of these for a long time and just kept putting it off. I made the purchase, received the OXO PASTRY SCRAPER AND HAVE BEEN USING IT OFTEN. Regret I didn't purchase it at an earlier time. Great for dividing your dough, gives you a measurement on the blade, is comfortable to use and work with. Doing any dough or pastry work, buy it; works much better than the old butcher knife!

thought it would be a bit sharper but it is a very nice scraper it will do the job. very sturdy

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.

This item was purchased as a gift. It is exactly what the person wanted, so I believe it is a good product. The product was shipped in a timely manner, and arrived in great condition.

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.

heavier than expected. Very good when chopping/diceing vegetables to transfer them to pot from cutting board.

I've had this scraper for about two years now, and it still looks like new. Stiff, heavy blade of high-quality stainless steel. Deeply engraved measurements along the edge, and a nice thick handle on the top of grippy oxo rubber. Very useful for scooting large quantities of chopped nuts, flour, and other ingredients.

This is a handy gadget! For example, it's great for shoveling up a pile of diced anything from the cutting board and sliding it off into the pot. Quality is excellent, has ergonomic handle. Imo the scraping edge could be just a little sharper (but not enough to cut fingers!).

One of the best uses I've found: sliding chopped onion off onto a pizza, makes it easy to get even distribution. Haven't tried this yet, but I think it will be quite good for "crumbling" hamburger as it cooks (a vexing chore).

Added Dec 25:
I have since used it to "crumble" hamburger and it works much better than a turner or spatula. More efficient, easier grip, less tiring to the hand. Perhaps not the thing to do if using a coated (non-stick) pan.

I've also come to use it to clean up the dough and such from my work surface. I love this thing. One of my favorite Amazon purchases ever. :)

I don't know why I didn't get the OXO Pastry Scraper sooner. I find I'm using it constantly to pick up large amounts of cut vegetables for transfer to another bowl or pan. Much easier than lifting the heavy cutting board or trying to pick them up with my hands. It's also great for cutting dough in half. I'm sure I'll find more handy uses as time goes by. Great kitchen tool.

I don't know how I ever managed without this handy devise. When I chop vegetables, I use it as the scoop to transfer them to the pot. It has a small ruler along the cutting edge to make pastry layout easier. It stores standing up along the edge of my drawer.

I have never found an OXO item that I did not love, and this bench scrape is no exception. It is made from a fine grade of stainless steel with a perfect edge. It is not sharp enough to cut a klutz like me, but it picks up every morsel perfectly well.

The handle is the standard OXO Good Grips material and is very comfortable in the hand. It is sealed very well to the stainless steel so there is no worry of water getting in between. I like having this rubbery handle, as opposed to the ones I've seen with the rolled stainless steel handle, because it is easier to grip.

works exactly like you hope it would. Cuts through dough, easy to clean up, goes in dishwasher. grip is comfortable as well.

I love making home made bread and pizza and this pastry scraper is wonderful; I couldn't ask for more.

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?

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.

I finally ordered this after getting tired of hand scraping pastry off of the (clean) countertops when baking and I am very pleased with this purchase! It has so many uses. I now use it daily to scrape veggies and fruits off of the cutting board, scrape things off of the countertops, and for light chopping now and then. It is also excellent for cutting pizza (works better than my pizza cutter!), cutting sandwiches, just about anything! It's now my favorite kitchen utensil and I'm so glad I ordered it.

First-rate quality, as expected with OXO. Handy little thing to have: mash, chop, scrape and use it to scoop (just like Rach!)

Wonderful product--has saved me time when baking bread and makes cleanup easier in the long run!

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!

The handle is very nice. I wish I used mine more often, but I just forget to use it.

This is a pro tool. High quality is evident. It even has a measurement etched into the bottom edge.

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.

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!!
