The WHK056 is a stainless steel dough cutter used for portioning, scraping and cleaning work surfaces in commercial bakeries and pastry production. It handles bench work during dough preparation, dividing batches and removing residue from stainless steel prep tables. The polypropylene handle provides grip during repetitive cutting and scraping tasks.
Commercial Application
Bakery staff use this tool to portion yeasted dough, laminated dough and pastry into uniform weights before shaping. It scrapes flour, dough residue and butter from work surfaces between production runs. The straight blade allows bench scrapers to lift divided portions without deformation.
During service prep, pastry chefs portion croissant dough, divide bread batches and clean marble or stainless surfaces. The 158mm blade width covers standard bench scraping in single passes. Continuous use requires a tool that maintains edge integrity through multiple cleaning cycles per shift.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What grade of stainless steel is the WHK056 blade?
A: The blade uses food-grade stainless steel compliant with CE food contact standards. Specific grade (304 or 430) confirmed upon order for operations with allergy or corrosion resistance requirements. Surface finish meets commercial kitchen hygiene protocols.
Q: Can the WHK056 handle heavy dough scraping on marble surfaces?
A: The 1mm blade thickness and 1.0 kg tool weight provide rigidity for scraping chilled laminated dough and hardened residue. Polypropylene handle absorbs impact during repetitive bench work. Not designed for prying or levering applications that exceed normal scraping force.
Q: Is the handle dishwasher-safe for high-temperature cycles?
A: Polypropylene handle rated for commercial dishwashers operating up to 82°C. Handle resists warping through repeated thermal cycles. Blade-to-handle seal prevents water ingress during spray wash phases.
Q: Are replacement handles available separately?
A: TurcoBazaar stocks spare polypropylene handles for the WHK056. Lead time is 3–5 working days for handle-only orders. Operations running multiple shifts can order handles in advance to minimise downtime.
Q: Does the WHK056 meet NSF or CSA standards for North American use?
A: The tool is CE certified for UK and EU markets. Material composition meets food contact safety principles applicable to NSF and CSA requirements. Formal certification documentation available upon request for Canadian and US commercial kitchen compliance audits.
