Works for me Wednesday ~ Cleaning up bread dough


For many years when I made bread I struggled with getting the counter top or table cleaned off after the kneading. No more! This little plastic scraping tool works wonderfully! Just scrape all over the surface, wipe it up and you are done. You now have a nice clean counter.


My little scrapers I bought from Pampered Chef for a little over a$1 for 3. They are also sometimes given out as freebies from companies. I have heard you can buy them at stores but when I have gone to find them I wasn't able to. Not only do they work good for cleaning up when baking bread but are also wonderful for cleaning very dirty pots and pans that have stuff baked on them. This little tool certainly works for me!

  2. I don't know what I would do without my pampered chef scrappers...I use them all the time. They also help for dried playdough from almost any flat surface.

  3. They also work great to remove pictures that are stuck in those sticky albums.

  7. I LOVE those scrapers! I actually knead my bread in my big stainless steel bowl, but there are other times when I'm making pastry or biscuits that I scrape off the counter. Makes life much easier!
