Chef's Planet PrepTaxi - Stainless Steel Food Scoop

Works great and has made cooking prep a lot easier. Well made product and easy to clean.

This prep taxi is one of the most useful items I have in my kitchen, and I use it daily. It is especially helpful in moving "mooshy" foods, like diced raspberries, for example, when the most cunningly designed kitchen tool ever conceived, the human hand, is of little help. It is also extremely helpful in moving very hot food items. In addition, just the other day, I dropped a raw egg onto the kitchen floor.... what a mess and what to do....? Prep taxi to the rescue...in a flash I'd scooped up the egg and shell and was ready for some soap and water.My arrival at procuring this item, however, was through two other Chef's Planet prep taxis, namely the less expensive plastic model, and a smaller-width model, constructed of a rubber/plastic that comes with a pair of insertable measuring cups. While the latter was better in transferring chopped foods to a narrow-mouthed vessel, both were exceedingly frustrating in that the blade edge was too thick and dull to successfully get under the food items. Not so with the stainless steel model. It scoops in a flash. It reminds me of why I like the thin-bladed spatulas of Mario Batali's "Italian Kitchen" series so much.In terms of design and balance, I have no concerns what-so-ever. In regards to food getting trapped under the handle, it's made of stainless steel - it'll last a thousand years: one run through the dishwasher should remove, or disarm, any threatening food particles.In addition, this stainless steel model functions as an excellent cutting-board scraper.Highly functional and recommended. (I have two on hand in my kitchen.)

the product was as I expected of good quality and very useful

I have some other bench scrapers, but this does the job for gathering chopped veggies to transfer to a skillet with no spill. Easy to use, easy to clean, and convenient to store, use it all the time,

Helps with less mess easy to transfer vegetables to pot or pan.
