Rachael Ray Tools Scrape Shovel Reviews Summary

Quality and Construction

Pros:

• "Really good quality."
• "Great quality and rubber handler feels comfortable."
• "Solid construction."
• "They are well constructed, heavier weight than others I have tried."
• "Very good quality; sturdy."
• "This is obviously good quality, and I heartily recommend it."
• "Very well made!!"

Cons:

• "It also looks like it's poorly made. See pictures."
• "The manufacturing standards were grade B at best."
• "Too bad, if they had used a higher quality stainless steel, it would have been perfect."
• "These scrapers do not last very long in a commercial kitchen."
• "The metal part appears, to me, that it's the cheap kind of kitchen utensil metal which rusts quickly."
• "It is a lower quality stainless that is prone to rusting."
• "Sadly they used metal that rusts."

Design and Functionality

Pros:

• "The raised sides keep the veggies from falling off on the way."
• "Now I don't have to worry about cutting my hand with my knife when I take my chopped veggies from the cutting board to the pan."
• "The sides make it perfect for picking up small things like chives after I cut them."
• "The handle is easy to grip and the blade easily picks up all of the meat or veg I’ve just cut."
• "Sides are a plus over other brands that do not have those little sides which make a difference."
• "I can transfer chopped vegetables to a cooking pan with ease and no mess."
• "The sides have ledges to help hold food as you scoop them up instead of them falling off the sides like some shovels can."

Cons:

• "Holds some water in the handle so do not submerge."
• "You cannot clean and dry the area inside the grip, yet it attracts and holds water and other debris."
• "Doesn't scrape up finer items like finely chopped herbs and garlic too well."
• "There is virtually no edge on this... it should have a cutting edge that will scrape cleanly."
• "The only drawback I can see is after I used this a few times I realized there are other brands on the market made with a sharpened edge that functions as a chopper as well as a scraper."
• "The downside to having the railings is that you cannot use it to cut dough since they get in the way."
• "Water can get trapped in there when washing the unit, so mold and corrosion can develop."

Value and Price

Pros:

• "The price is great compared to other brands."
• "This is an item that I would recommend others to have in their kitchen."
• "Well made, cleans up nicely and scoops and holds foods with ease."
• "Added bonus I was able to purchase it in a color that matches my kitchen...makes me happy!"
• "Finally, for $8 how could you go wrong?"
• "Good value and price too."
• "Such a great value for an invaluable tool."

Cons:

• "It's a little bigger than the other one I've had for years, but that's ok."
• "However, it's kind of large and doesn't fit easily into any kitchen drawers."
• "I find it too pricey for what it is, but am happy to have it since it is handy."
• "Buy one, maybe not at 29 bucks though."
• "I like the bench scrape, but I feel very ripped off because when I purchased it the S & H costs were more than the cost of the item!!"
• "Make sure you actually need this before buying - it may seem useful but I bet 80% of people that buy it for scooping reasons will have it using up precious drawer space instead."
• "I must say I was shocked when I took it out of its box and the item was filthy with dirty fingerprints and unknown crud!!!"
