I am a HUGS Alton Brown fan! He only confims what my grandmother always told me...FIND A TOOL THAT CAN MULTI TASK IN YOUR KITCHEN.
One of the things I can NOT do without is a metal 6" Dough Scraper. This tool helps me work with dough, cut dough and scrap dough off the counter. It also is an excellent garlic crusher! I love cooking with garlic and when I have to peel more than one clove I will use my scraper and cover the clover and well...hit it..smash it...whatever you want to call it! A lot of people will use a knife..hmmm..however, I prefer not to up the chance in cutting myself. The garlic clove will be open and I can gently peel the outter layer off...
plus...the flat blade of the scraper allows me to hit it gently if I only want to smoosh it a little bit..or hit it hard to get it nice and broken up.
The one I use has a ruler on it as well...perfect...because when I am trying to cut the same size I am good to go and don't have to roll out a measuring tape as some will do.
I can go on and on and on about this...for an investment of about five bucks, it is one of the greatest items I own for baking.
