Know before you buy
No, the bamboo construction is gentle on surfaces. It is designed to scrape work surfaces clean without leaving scratches or marks, making it safe for stone, wood, and laminate counters.
Bamboo is significantly lighter and less rigid than stainless steel. While it is strong enough to portion dough effectively, it is a better choice if you prefer a tool that won't clatter against your counters or if you are looking for a more sustainable, eco-friendly material.
No, this tool should be hand washed only. Dishwashers can cause bamboo to warp or crack over time, so it is best to wash it with warm, soapy water and dry it thoroughly after each use.
Yes, the front edge is beveled to provide a clean cut. It works well for portioning both firm bread dough and stickier pastry doughs without dragging or tearing.
Bamboo is naturally less absorbent than many traditional wood types, which helps prevent it from soaking up moisture or lingering food odors. However, it is still a natural material, so it should be cleaned promptly after use.
