Expert Review and  Insights

Matfer Bourgeat is a name we chefs trust implicitly, and  this scraper is a perfect example of why. It’s not just a tool; it's a workhorse. The rigidity of the Exoglass is what sets it apart – there’s no flex, meaning you get perfectly straight cuts for portioning and  can clear a worksurface with absolute ease. It's a simple, brilliant piece of design.

  • Rock Solid: Feels practically indestructible compared to standard plastic or nylon scrapers.
  • Purpose-Built: Its rigidity means it's not the right tool for scraping out curved mixing bowls.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Corner Bakery in Cardiff was constantly replacing their flimsy plastic dough scrapers, which would snap or lose their edge after just a few weeks of heavy use in their busy kitchen.

"We were getting through scrapers at an alarming rate. They'd snap on firm dough or the edges would get nicked. The Matfer Exoglass scrapers are in a different league entirely – solid, reliable, and  they just feel like a proper piece of kit in your hand."

Robert Evans – Head Baker

The switch completely eliminated mid-prep breakages and  has significantly reduced their annual spend on replacement small tools.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Give it a quick wash with warm, soapy water before its first use.
  • There's no assembly needed – it’s ready to use straight from the box.
  • Store it in a utensil holder or drawer to protect the straight blade from damage.

Keeping It Going

  • Rinse off dough residue straight after use to stop it from hardening on the surface.
  • It's fully dishwasher safe for a thorough, hygienic clean at the end of a shift.
  • Avoid using it to pry open tins or for other unintended tasks to maintain its perfect shape.
  • The Exoglass material is exceptionally durable, so the edge will remain true for a very long time.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Dough Scraper

Not sure which scraper fits your needs best? Here’s a quick rundown to help you decide.

Material Matters

Plastic is cheap but can break or warp. Metal is durable but can scratch surfaces. A composite like Exoglass offers the best of both worlds: it's tough, hygienic, and  safe on most worktops.

Blade Shape

A straight blade, like on this Matfer J217 dough scraper, is essential for dividing dough and  cleaning flat surfaces. A curved or 'bowl' scraper is better for getting every last bit out of mixing bowls.

Flexibility vs. Rigidity

Flexible scrapers are great for bowls. A rigid scraper is non-negotiable for portioning firm dough, lifting pastry, and  effective bench cleaning. Most professional kitchens need both types.

Hygiene is Key

Look for non-porous materials like Exoglass or stainless steel. They don't absorb flavours or bacteria and  can be properly sterilised, which is crucial for food safety.

Size and  Weight

A scraper should feel like an extension of your hand. This model is lightweight to reduce fatigue but wide enough to manage large amounts of dough efficiently.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is this scraper flexible?

A: No, the Exoglass material is specifically designed to be very rigid, which makes it perfect for clean cutting, portioning, and  scraping flat surfaces.

Q: Can I use this in a hot pan?

A: It is heat resistant up to 220°C, so it's safe for use with very warm doughs or mixtures, but it is not designed for direct, prolonged contact with hot pans like a spatula.

Q: Is the Matfer J217 dough scraper dishwasher safe?

A: Yes, absolutely. It is made for professional environments and  can be safely and  easily cleaned in a commercial dishwasher.

Q: What is the main benefit of Exoglass over a normal plastic scraper?

A: The key benefits are durability, heat resistance, and  hygiene. Exoglass won't warp, melt, or snap under pressure, and  its non-porous surface won't absorb odours or bacteria.

Q: Can this scraper be used to cut dough?

A: Yes, its firm, straight edge is ideal for cleanly dividing and  portioning all types of dough, from soft brioche to firm sourdough.

Q: Will strong-coloured ingredients like beetroot or tomato stain it?

A: The non-porous Exoglass surface is highly resistant to staining and  makes cleaning off colourful ingredients very easy.

Q: Is it comfortable to hold for long prep sessions?

A: Yes, its ergonomic shape and  light weight are designed to minimise hand strain, even when used for extended periods.

Q: What exactly is Exoglass?

A: It's a premium composite material developed by Matfer Bourgeat, made from fibreglass. It’s known in the industry for its incredible strength, hygiene, and  longevity.

Why Exoglass is a Baker's Best Friend

Its non-porous surface means it won't absorb flavours or odours (so your croissant dough won't taste of yesterday's garlic focaccia) and  it's completely hygienic and  easy to sterilise, which is a massive plus in any commercial kitchen.
