Plastic thingy with a handle that Chefs use for bread dough and pastry

Hi, I've been watching too many cookery programmes lately, but was watching a trailer for the new Paul Hollywood Bread programme and it suddenly struck me that I have never seen one of the oblong scraper things with a handle for sale anywhere.

I'm not sure what they are called, and have looked in vain on Lakeland site, e-bay etc.

Anyone know what this bit of kit is called, and where I might get hold of one as I think it would be really useful.

Do you mean a dough scraper?

If you mean a dough scraper, you can use an old ID card similarly. If it is a pastry fork then I find my hands more effective, but those are usually metal.

If you know anyone who works in or who owns a bakery then ask if they've got any spare - the flour/ingredient/equipment wholesalers give loads of them away.

This dough scraper is often seen on TV:

The whole website is full of baking equipment temptation!

Thank you so much everyone - I've been puzzled by this for ages and will definitely order one with my next Amazon order.

They do indeed, at one point I had about twenty of them at home! I've given most of them away now (but still have 3 or 4) and they are one of the most useful things in my kitchen, I use them every single day for all sorts of things.
