Scrapers were the most coveted freebie amongst my fellow students when I was training to be a baker.
Think of them as spatulas but much better!
Millers and other ingredient suppliers used them as marketing tools and I had a prized collection by the time I qualified. Huge ones half the size of bucket lids for scraping out industrial mixers, strong ones with perfectly square edges for smoothing royal icing, thin ones for scraping out mixing bowls almost clean enough not to need washing, serrated edged ones for ridged finishes on gateaux… They’re so useful that my supply has finally dwindled and although the domestic market is beginning to catch on, the ones I’ve seen for sale aren’t quite bendy enough for scraping out bowls!
