Product Information
Full details
The Vikan Dough Cutter and Scraper is an essential tool for professional bakers, pastry chefs, and food service workers who need a reliable, hygienic implement for handling dough and maintaining clean workstations. Its primary benefit is the combination of a flexible 0.5 mm stainless steel blade and an ergonomic grip that makes scraping sticky residues efficient and comfortable during long shifts. While it is a robust and food-safe tool, users should note that the 146 mm width is optimized for manual handling rather than large-scale industrial dough processing.

FAQs
Is the blade dishwasher safe?
Yes, the materials are temperature resistant and suitable for commercial dishwashing environments.
Can I use this on non-stick pans?
It is not recommended, as the stainless steel blade may scratch or damage non-stick coatings.
What is the benefit of the color-coded options?
Color coding helps in HACCP compliance, allowing you to assign specific colors to different food types or zones to prevent cross-contamination.
Is this tool suitable for left-handed users?
Yes, the symmetrical design of the handle and blade makes it fully functional for both left and right-handed users.
What is the exact blade width?
The blade is 146 mm wide.
Will the stainless steel rust?
The tool is made from high-quality stainless steel, but it should be dried properly after cleaning to maintain its finish over the long term.
Troubleshooting
Blade feels less flexible after heavy use
Check for caked-on food residue near the handle connection; soak in warm, soapy water to remove.
Handle surface becomes slippery
Ensure the handle is wiped clean of grease or flour, as the polypropylene material performs best when dry.
Surface marks appearing on workspace
Ensure the blade edge is free of nicks or burrs from previous heavy-duty impacts; if burrs are present, carefully hone them with a fine file.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This tool requires no setup and is ready for immediate use upon unboxing. To maintain its longevity and hygiene, rinse the scraper immediately after use to prevent food particles from hardening on the blade. While the materials are robust, it is recommended to wash the tool with food-grade detergents and a soft brush. For storage, always utilize the hanging hole to ensure the blade remains dry and protected from impact damage. If you utilize a color-coded HACCP system, be aware that this model is part of a series (available in green, orange, white, and blue) to prevent cross-contamination in your facility.
