Norpro Stainless Steel Scraper/Chopper, 6in/15cm x 4in/10cm

It's been 3 years since I bought this but every time I use it I just think "man, I love this thing" and so I thought I should finally review it. Hopefully they haven't changed anything. This is one of those kitchen utensils that is just so perfect at what it does that it really could not be improved upon. Seriously. I don't think you can find a better scraper/chopper, and on the other hand you definitely could find a *worse* one. You might think "eh it's a scraper" and think you can just buy anything and be happy, but no! Ergonomics matter. Build quality matters. Whether it's easy to clean matters. This thing just always feels right in the hand, it's really precisely flat so you can easily pick up everything you want to scrape up, it doesn't bend or get misshapen, and it's just smooth steel so it basically rinses right off. I love stuff that says it does something and then just does that thing as well as anything possibly could. My wife bakes a lot and she has a plastic scraper that she uses for that and it is no comparison. I don't know why she even bothered buying it. Hers bends, it's all chewed up at this point so it constantly leaves stuff behind, and gunk and stuff all gets in the little scratches that naturally develop in plastic scrapers over time. Avoid these! This scraper is also more than sturdy enough to act as a "press" of sorts, when you want to peel garlic easily, for example. Just lay the scraper flat on top, put your weight on it and press down. It can handle it and it won't bend at all. The icing on the cake is how cheap this scraper is. There is no reason to buy anything else. And it's honestly one thing that I can't believe I lived without as long as I did. The back end of a knife just doesn't work as well and anyway, you will wear out and possibly bend your knives. I use this scraper constantly while cooking, which I never realized I would, and it is just perfect at its job.

I’m a novice cake decorator, and I purchased this product to help me smoothly frost a cake with buttercream. It is lightweight and easy and comfortable to grip. It’s the perfect length to frost a two-tier cake. It is durable, sturdy and high quality. It is easy to scrape the frosting off it and washes easily, as well. The edge is sharp enough to cut through dough but not sharp enough to hurt me. It works very well and has helped me improve my frosting skills!

If my Gardener hadn't stolen it I would have had an original. Okay, so I got rid of the gardener (along with many items that I cannot find) and reordered this item. The first time I had this item it was a gift. I love this item!. This is a very important item for your chicken coops for scraping debris, having another one for one's dining room table to clear the tablecloth, and many other items where you need something strong to scratch like say dried bird poop on your floor, because I have a pet rooster in the house and he's never really figured out how to not s*** wherever he wants. Nevertheless, his s**** are fairly benign, a simple movie theater get up with a broom and a dustpan works fine, but you know there might be a stubbly turd once in awhile. Thank you so much for the excellent product. And yes, when they're stainless steel, they can be koshered if one so chooses. Thank you.

I've been using this Norpro scraper for a few weeks now as I teach myself to make bread and I can honestly say it's the best $6+ I've ever spent! Every kitchen should have one of these! Not only is it attractive, it's actually very comfortable. I have severe pain in my hands (and everywhere else) from a rare neurovascular disorder, so I was hesitant to order one without the softer handle. It turns out this doesn't feel like you're holding metal at all! It has a little "give" to it, but still firm enough to pick up and cut through a 2-loaf bread dough. So far I haven't needed to put it in the dishwasher, it cleans up very easily, but I'm sure it would be fine since there are no little crevices for water to get trapped in and cause rust, or bacteria for that matter-score! I also use my handy little scraper to transport chopped veggies and such from my cutting board to the stove. It holds more than the blade of my knife and won't slice my pinky off :). And as a bonus if you're as OCD as I am (or a neurotic pain in the @$$, as my husband calls me lol), you can use the ruler at the bottom to get uniform cuts on your veggies as well as dough. Finally, after a whirlwind of cooking and/or baking, I use this little gem to scrape my mess off the countertops right into the garbage. Whether it's wet or dried dough, sticky minced garlic, or little bits of fresh herbs, this scraper scoots 'em right off without scratching my counter. I definitely recommend this very affordable, multitasking tool!

This is a pretty essential tool for bread-making. It's great for scraping up dough from all kinds of surfaces. It's especially useful when working with sticky no-knead recipes. It's also great for separating dough, or moving bits around. And the all steel construction makes it easy to wash when it does get sticky. And it will get sticky, if you are using it right. However, I do take issue with this being billed as a chopper. Knives are for chopping. This thing doesn't come sharp, and sharpening it with is stone would probably just screw it up, and make it hard to use as a scraper. It's not made from cutlery steel, so I don't expect it would hold an edge anyway. Sure, you could force the blade though some vegetables, but you could also try to cut with a spatula. If you want a chopper with this sort of shape, get an ulu. Or better yet, learn to use your chef knife. This scraper excels at scraping, but it should not even be labeled as a chopper.

WOW, I am so glad I found this item. I have been missing out. Works amazingly well, stays sharp, grip is easy to use. MAde well what a great kitchen item to have.

Great for scraping and chopping. Love that I can scoop food for transport to pans or bowls without leaving bits and pieces of my food behind on my chopping board. Also works to help knead bread dough. Heavy duty metal. Doesn’t bend or flex . Would buy again

Well made, easy to use. Lays flat for easier scooping of items. I like that it is all one piece. I was surprised how sturdy and well made it is. The measurement guide in inches on the bottom edge might be handy for some people. It seems to be a bargain for the price.
