After making your dough and resting it, Antimo uses the nifty scraper to lift the dough from the container.

Antimo shared that a traditional scraper will set you back anywhere between $20 to $30, but he’s been using this cheap alternative for years and hasn’t looked back.

It all started when he used to work at Zero Gradi at Crown Melbourne in 2014 and they desperately needed scrapers. As we all do, Antimo phoned a friend and his friend came through with the suggestion of this budget-friendly tool.
