Weirdly, a dough scraper. It's not because of the measurement conversions, I don't think I'd ever noticed them up until now actually. It's just a really solid dough scraper. I use it for dough, but I've also used it for so many other things, like assembling/disassembling furniture, patching holes in the wall, wrapping furniture in a vinyl sheet. Loads of various tasks.
Every so often you find that you need a solid, flat, steel thing, and this comes in handy every single time.
Yep! Great for so many things, though I don't think I've ever used the measurements on mine.
I find it very useful for cleaning as well, scraping off stuck on stuff
Yes!
I use it to scrape up all the stuff once I've chopped it. Chop onion, use spine of blade to scrape onto this, dump in pot. Saves lifting heavy chopping board, or scraping onto thin knife.
That doesn't sound very food-safe...
Do you not clean your utensils?
I do, but not to clean drywall putty off it
I don't think drywall is a thing in apartments here. Growing up I always thought that "punching through the wall" was something they put in for comedic effect, because here you'd just crush your hand.
Where I'm from, the walls are mostly made of either brick & mortar, or straight up concrete. Some would be from particle boards and drywalls for less critical stuff, but most if not all would have reinforced concrete as their foundation.
However, I've stayed where construction's made out of wood, and would use drywall. I've seen people comically punch thru walls and doors when they're emotional.
Edit: Most of the time, they wouldn't punch thru. You can easily leave a hole witha single hit, but to get to the other side, you'd need to be really angry.
To be fair, some of our walls are a bit more hollow, and can be easily drilled into. I wonder if they're more or less drywall. Though I don't think you could punch through them without hurting yourself. There's this part of me that now wishes to try, but it's like as best we don't find out. π
