What to look for in a dough scraper

• Consider the material first and foremost when buying a pastry scraper. Softer materials such as plastic and silicone would be ideal if you often work with bread dough and want a tool to help you knead.
• Size is another important consideration: smaller pastry scrapers are often easier to store and lighter, but bigger scrapers are better for chopping up pieces of dough or food more quickly, cleaning up a surface or transferring larger pastry slabs.
• Consider the handle. Some bakers prefer a barely-there handle and all-in-one design to feel closer to the dough. Alternatively, a thicker handle is great for a good grip when scraping.
• For specifically metal scrapers, look out for how sharp or thin the edge of the scraper is to tell if it will be good for chopping or precise slicing.

Best dough scrapers to buy

Kuchenprofi Dough Scraper Set

• Available from Borough Kitchen (£20)

Best pastry scraper set

This unique 3-in-1 dough scraper consists of three types of scrapers: a scraper with a flexible edge, ideal for scraping dough and odd bits from a bowl; the second is a more firm dough scraper in plastic that won't damage a wooden or more delicate surface but has a classic square design useful for scraping buttercream around a cake; thirdly, there is the stainless steel scraper which has measurements and a semi-sharp edge, perfect for cutting dough. Plus all three fit together to save space in your kitchen. Helpfully for keen bakers, they are dishwasher-safe, too.

Borough Kitchen (£20)

Lakeland Dough scraper

• Available from Lakeland (£5.99)

Best bladed pastry scraper

With a cobalt blue handle that would make it easy to find even in the busiest of draws, this pastry scraper is excellent value for money. The handle is not only colourful but non-slip and is a soft plastic which is kind on hardworking hands. Usefully it has some simple measurements on the cutting blade, too.

Available from:
Lakeland (£5.99)

Ooni dough scraper

Best pastry scraper for pizza

In a sleek and simple design, this Ooni dough scraper is made for pizza. This blade is particularly sharp, which is good for speedy and precise dough slicing.

Muka dough scraper

• Available from Amazon (4.75)

Best curved pastry scraper

This dough scraper has a curved handle which is excellent for grip purposes, as it mirrors the curve of the hand for a more comfortable use. Going up to 5½cm, this is one of the bigger scrapers on our list. A unique feature is the measurements equivalents showing you a conversion for cup to fl oz to tbsp to ml – handy for when you need to add something to your dough but don't want to ruin your cookbook with any dough on your hands.

Available from:
Amazon (4.75)

KitchenAid 2 Piece Pot Scraper and Silicone Bowl Scraper Set

• Available from Amazon (£11.30)

Best to use on hot surfaces

In a set of two, these silicone scrapers bend to the contours of the bowl to easily scrape batter, dough and flour with ease. Plus you can use the black scraper to cut dough with its straight edge. Another promising feature of this scraper is how heat resistant it is, letting you scrape hot pastry such as choux straight from the pan.

Curved dough scraper

• Available from Sous Chef (£3.50)

Best budget pastry scraper

Bright blue in colour and curved in shape, this pastry scraper is perfect for kneading wet dough and scraping any scraps or cream out of bowls. This is our most affordable option and despite its plastic material still feels well made and is a lot more safe to use on worksurfaces.

Available from:
Sous Chef (£2.25)

Gozney Dough Scraper

• Available from Gozney (£15)
