IKEA is a hidden gem for kitchen gadgets. You can find everything from baking mats, cooling racks, pastry brushes, muffin molds, flour sifters and offset spatulas, filling your kitchen with everything you need to be a professional baker.
One of my favorite little tools, that’s something I haven’t found in many other stores, is IKEA’s Silicone Bowl Scraper (LÄTTBAKAD).
Best Uses for The IKEA Silicone Bowl Scraper
I pretty much have all of the gadgets I need in my kitchen, but this unit was really a welcomed addition. As an avid sourdough baker, this scraper grabs every last little morsel of the dough from the bowl. Before using the tool, there were always remnants left that I simply couldn’t get off.
Because it’s made of silicone, it can mold to the shape of the container you’re scraping out of, and is fitted with a tapered lip so it leaves nothing behind. It also has a comfortable grip and fits nicely in your hand.

What Are Fans Saying About the Bowl Scraper?
The IKEA Bowl Scraper can also scrape out pancake, waffle, fritter, muffin or cake batter or cookie or pie dough. One user said “[This tool has] many uses but the best is for scraping out last bits of food from dishes and utensils before they get washed”.
“The bowl scraper is similar to a rubber spatula but has much better leverage when moving the dough. It has been a great addition to the kitchen”, said one person. “I’m a sourdough instructor and this little bread dough scraper is my best friend. I have many types but IKEA wins this round”, exclaimed another.
The Bowl Scraper retails for just $4.99, so not only does it make total sense to add to your baking drawer, but it would also make a stellar gift or stocking stuffer. It’s available on IKEA’s website as well as in most stores. You really won’t regret adding it to your repertoire.
