Great for when you can't use a metal dough scraper/separator
I roll out my dough on a formica table, and using a metal dough scraper would scratch the table top to heck. I've been using this one for over a year and have no complaints at all.
Very helpful tool.
This scraper is great for bread dough. The slick silicone material doesn't stick at all, is very lightweight and I love how easy it is to clean as opposed to metal scrapers. Since my favorite bread shaping surface is a plastic mat a metal scraper is impractical, too.
The only reason this didn't quite make 5 stars is that the material is very easily nicked along the edges and I fear that, after awhile, accumulated nicking of the edge will reduce functionality, but at 5 dollars replacing the scraper even once yearly wouldn't be a big deal.
Great product
Use my formica countertop a lot for making bread and pasta dough. Mario Batali The Italian Kitchen Collection Dough Separator performs with no danger of scratching or cutting counter surface.
Works well
I have an old pastry/dough cutter which is metal and it is starting to rust and oxidize which makes me worry about using it. Some of the plastic ones don't cut cleanly and soft doughs stick to them. This one releases the dough and cuts cleanly. Plus I will never have to worry about oxidation again.

This is an excellent product. It separates dough easily and is easy to clean. I'm very glad I bought it.
