Daily Kitchen Note
Moving chopped vegetables with your hands or a knife can be messy and dangerous. A bench scraper easily scoops up ingredients, making the transfer from board to pan quick and safe.
How to Move chopped vegetables
- Chop your vegetables or herbs on a cutting board as usual.
- Hold a bench scraper by its handle and slide the flat metal edge under the pile of chopped ingredients.
- Lift the ingredients and transfer them directly to your pan or bowl.
Why it works
The wide, flat blade of a bench scraper provides a large surface area to scoop up multiple pieces of food at once. Its straight edge sits flush against the cutting board, ensuring nothing is left behind.
