Mundial 5697 6-Inch by 3-Inch Dough Cutter and Scraper, Black

Usually found in bakeries and restaurants, a Dough Cutter, or Dough Scraper, is designed for bakery and pastry work when cutting dough into sizes or shapes. Antone that bakes, even occasionally, should own this kitchen tool. Secondarily, it is used for scooping chopped or cut food and transferring it into a prep bowl, pot, or pan. For scraping a cutting board clean while using a water/bleach solution, you will find no better tool...all restaurant staff use the "dough scraper" for that task.

This tool is ALWAYS found either in bakeries or in restaurant kitchens. Seldom seen in home kitchens (but it should be), this tool is an essential kitchen accessory. The Mundial brand version is usually only found in restaurant supply stores, but now also online...the brand is made in Brazil to high standards, yet cost is low. Russel, Dexter, Wusthof, Forschner/Victorinox, and other knife makers make good versions as well, but at higher prices. The Mundial product's design:

1. SIX INCH BLADE. The ideal size blade length for scraping and cutting.

2. NSA APPROVED (National Sanitary Association), the private, restaurant industry sanitary watchdog that assures you that food particles will not collect and rot at the join of the handle and blade, and the synthetic handle material will absorb almost zero moisture and bacteria because the plastic handle contains an anti-microbial compound. The join of handle to blade leaves no gaps where bacteria can hide. The white handled version also helps you notice any dirt or food remaining to be cleaned (a white handled model is also available on Amazon if you prefer). The 18/5 stainless blade will never rust or stain. The textured handle is indeed very comfortable for all day professional use.

3. IDEAL FOR CUTTING DOUGH. Nothing beats this tool's design for cutting, shaping, scoring, and sectioning dough or other foods, even for chopping softer foods if you keep it sharp.

4. IDEAL FOR SCRAPING DOUGH OR SCOOPING UP FOOD. The is the best tool for scraping dough from a pastry or cutting board. It is also perfect for scraping and scooping veggies or other cut up food from a cutting board and placing in a prep bowl or into pots or pans when cooking. You have total control over the scraping with the comfortable handle.

5. USED IN RESTAURANTS FOR SCRAPING CUTTING BOARDS CLEAN. At the end of the day, restaurant staff apply a solution of bleach and water to sanitize their cutting boards. The board is then scraped clean with this kind of tool. The gray water is discarded after scraping, then the cutting board is wiped clean with fresh water and wiped dry.

This Mundial scraper, made in Brazil, by makers of cutlery for restaurants, is found almost exclusively at restaurant supply stores. These stores are located in industrial areas, yet are open to the public. Buying on online saves you a trip down there.

I have owned my Mundial scraper for over twenty-two years, and just now got around to reviewing it! You will find that you cannot operate efficiently in your kitchen without it. I use it every day. Highly recommended. My hope is that this information helps in your shopping.

I was originally a little uncertain about the synthetic material on the handle. But it means that unlike wood handles, it goes through the dishwasher. The metal blade is solid and cuts dough easily. I've used it for several weeks and I have zero complaints.
