Product Information
Full details
The Vikan Dough Cutter and Scraper is an essential tool for professional bakers and kitchen staff who need a durable, hygienic solution for managing dough and cleaning food preparation surfaces. Its primary benefit is the combination of a flexible, high-quality stainless steel blade with an ergonomic grip that reduces hand fatigue during long shifts, though users should be mindful that the 146 mm width is optimized for standard tasks rather than large-scale industrial processing.

Troubleshooting
Blade feels slightly dull after heavy use
The stainless steel edge can be carefully honed, but avoid using power tools that may strip the protective finish.
Handle feels slippery when wet
Ensure the handle is fully wiped down and dry before use, as the polypropylene surface can become slick with oil or flour-water mixtures.
Residue buildup near the handle junction
Soak the tool in warm, soapy water and use a soft-bristled brush to remove hidden debris from the connection point.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This tool requires no formal setup—it is ready to use straight out of the box. To maintain the integrity of the stainless steel, wash the scraper with food-safe detergent after every use and ensure it is dried completely before being placed on a rack. The integrated hanging hole is designed for standard wall-mounted kitchen hooks. While the tool is highly durable, avoid using harsh industrial scouring pads on the polypropylene handle to prevent scratching, which can harbor food particles over time.
