We tested 10 popular bowl scrapers to find out which ones performed the best, were the most comfortable to use, and were the easiest to clean.
bowl scraper was seven inches long. The larger scrapers not only scraped down more of the surface in one easy sweep, but also felt more comfortable in the hand. Smaller scrapers required more work and elbow grease.Scrapers that were too stiff, like the Fox Run one, made it difficult to scrape down the sides of some bowls.is stiffness. Bowl scrapers are designed to flex and bend, allowing you to scrape down the sides of a curved bowl.
Because bowl scrapers are made of slippery plastic, nylon, or silicone, grip was an issue. Plastic and nylon scrapers were easy to clean, but got real slippery, especially when oil or fat was involved. And the more tightly you have to hold the scraper, the more your hand starts to ache. Our favorite scraper, the Indigo True, helped alleviate hand fatigue by adding a thicker ridge on the flat end, which made it easier to hold and pick up. The KitchenAid bowl scraper was made of a soft touch silicone and was thicker then other models, adding to its grip.Many of the silicone bowl scrapers we tested had too-soft edges, smushing up against the side of the bowl and onto the flat surface under the gnocchi dough, marring it.
On the other hand, the nylon and plastic materials were firmer, but sometimes too firm. This made them less versatile than the more flexible scrapers and uncomfortable to hold. No matter the material, all of the scrapers stained slightly with the pumpkin puree. Bottom line: the material didn't matter as much as the shape, flexibility, and added usability features of the scraper.
To maximize and get the most out of your scraper, look for one that's larger in size, and that feels comfortable in your hand. In our tests, thicker scrapers, or ones that have textured edges or a ridge to hold onto, were more comfortable. Thin and slick scrapers were harder to hold and created hand fatigue. Flexibility was also important, but we still wanted a bit of stiffness to cut dough.
