How to Use Plastic Scrapers in the Kitchen
Scraperite plastic scrapers are versatile tools with a wide range of applications, from automotive detailing to industrial settings. But did you know they can also be incredibly handy in the kitchen? Whether you're prepping food, cleaning delicate surfaces, or removing stubborn labels from new kitchenware, a plastic scraper can make these tasks easier and more efficient.
Below we will explore some of the best ways to use Scraperite plastic scrapers in the kitchen. With the right scraper on hand, you can save time and elbow grease, and avoid damaging your cookware.
1. Removing Stickers from New Kitchenware
Have you ever purchased a new set of glass jars, baking dishes, or a beautiful coffee maker, only to find it covered in stubborn price tags or sticky labels? Fully removing these adhesives without leaving residue or damaging the surface can be a challenge, but with a plastic scraper, it becomes a breeze. Plastic scrapers, like Scraperite's General Purpose Orange, are perfect for this task as they provide a safe and effective way to remove adhesives and stickers around your home.
Whether it be a glass container, stainless steel pot, or ceramic dish, a scraper helps lift the adhesive without damaging the finish underneath. However, make sure to use the correct method to remove these stickers. Click here to read about different ways to remove adhesive from glass, ceramic, plastic, and stainless steel.
2. Scraping Dough from Counters and Surfaces
Baking often involves working with sticky doughs that can easily cling to your countertops, mixing bowls, or rolling pins when dry. A plastic scraper can help make clean-up easier by quickly lifting dough and other sticky substances off surfaces without creating a mess. The flat edge of a scraper is perfect for gathering up dough scraps or cleaning up flour residue from your workspace.
In addition, plastic scrapers are gentle enough not to damage delicate countertops like granite, marble, or wood, making them a safe tool for kitchen use. Be sure to wet the area with a cleaning spray of your choice or warm water to make the removal a breeze. Gently scrape with a plastic scraper, like Scraperite's Dwarf Orange Blade, to remove stuck on food.
3. Cleaning Grills and Cookware
Non-stick pans, cast iron cookware, and grills require special care to avoid damaging the surface while removing stuck on food. A plastic scraper can be used to gently remove burnt food, grease, or residue without scratching or compromising the surface, whether it be a cast iron pan, stainless steel, non-stick pan, or the grates on your grill. Using a plastic scraper will help maintain the integrity of your cookware while getting the job done. Make sure you wet the surface with warm water to loosen the stuck-on food and gently scrape with your plastic blade until it's removed.
For cleaning grills or pots and pans, a scraper with a sturdy plastic blade, such as the Scraperite Pro Magenta Blade, is an ideal choice. It's durable enough to tackle built-up grease and grime but gentle on the surfaces you're cleaning.
4. Removing Food Residue from Cutting Boards
Cutting boards can accumulate stubborn food residue, especially after slicing sticky ingredients like tomatoes, cheese, or fruit. Plastic scrapers are perfect for quickly lifting off food particles and sticky substances without the risk of scratching the surface of your board. This is especially useful for wooden or bamboo cutting boards, which can be prone to damage from abrasive scrubbers.
By using a plastic scraper, you can ensure that your cutting board remains in good condition and free of leftover food debris, making cleaning a faster and more efficient task.
5. Dealing with Sticky Messes in the Kitchen
Accidents happen in the kitchen, and sometimes sticky spills or drips from syrups, honey, or sauces can leave a mess. Whether it's spilled jam on the countertop or melted sugar on your stovetop, a plastic scraper is a great tool for getting into corners and removing the sticky residue.
Unlike metal scrapers, which can scratch surfaces, plastic scrapers like Scraperite's General Purpose Orange, are safe and flexible enough to use on delicate kitchen surfaces. The flexibility of a plastic scraper also makes it easy to get into tight spots or angles, ensuring that you can clean up every last bit of residue.
8. Cleaning the Refrigerator: Scraping Away Stubborn Spills and Residue
The refrigerator is one of the busiest—and often messiest—appliances in the kitchen. Spills from sauces, drinks, or food items can create sticky spots that are hard to clean, especially in tight corners or under shelves. A plastic scraper is perfect for tackling these areas. Whether you're scraping away dried spills on shelves or removing stubborn gooey messes from drawers, a plastic scraper can help you lift residue without scratching or damaging the fridge's surfaces. It's also ideal for cleaning food crumbs or sticky residues from the door seals, which can trap dirt and mold over time. With a scraper, you can keep your fridge looking fresh and ensure that food stays safe and hygienic, all while avoiding harsh scrubbing that could damage delicate parts. Use a long handled scraper for reaching under shelves, and a dwarf scraper for detailed work in the corners.
Conclusion: A Kitchen Essential
Plastic scrapers are versatile tools that belong in every kitchen. Whether you're peeling, spreading, scraping, or cleaning, they provide an easy and effective solution for many common kitchen tasks. By choosing the right plastic scraper for the job—like Scraperite's General Purpose Orange Blade for removing sticky labels, or the Pro Magenta Blade for cleaning grime off surfaces—kitchen chores become simpler and more efficient.
The best part? Plastic scrapers are safe to use on a variety of surfaces, preventing scratches and damage while ensuring that your kitchenware and countertops remain in pristine condition. If you're looking for an affordable and practical tool to add to your kitchen toolkit, look no further than a plastic scraper.
