Can I use it without the scraper? I don't like the plastic part although it looks useful.

Eliot: I am pretty sure you can remove the scraper, because as far as I recall, the scraper is a separate part. However, please be sure to depend on any other answers you receive to this question, as my daughter now has this food processor, and it's been a good two months since I used it.

the scraper is of very limited flexibility. You can flex it a modest amount, enough to scrape a large mixing bowl, but it is not perfectly pliable.

I wouldn't use it with plastic. It heats up enough to melt ice, so use only metal to be safe.

It comes with a scraper but I cleaned it simply by whipping it. I haven't tried much more than sandwiches however I have seen lots of recipe books that could give you some ideas.

No! If you attempt to remove the plastic tip the whole thing will break and will need replacement tip, the plastic holds the small rubber piece inside from breaking sooner than it should

I don't know. It doesn't show on the scraper and I threw that packaging away. Sorry.

I haven't had any issues with the scraper. I use it after I have put the cleaner on to remove any "baked on" particles. I think the key may be to not use it on a DRY surface. The scraper is a razor blade so I would use it with a light hand and caution. If you can remove the "baked on" particles with the scrubbing pad, there isn't a reason to use the scraper.

NO,using metal utensils will scratch the nonstick surface which will compromise the ease of clean up.

It does NOT fit on the dough hook. It will snap onto the driver that holds the cookie paddles or wire whisks. I've found I don't really need a scraper when I'm making bread dough. Scraper does work well!

Yes, as long as it isn't a non-stick surface you are cleaning.I would not for fear of ruining the bevel at the edge of the scraper.Buy an inexpensive broad putty knife for your griddle.

Don't put it in the dishwasher. I use rubber spatulas - no metal and I also separate mine with cloth napkins to avoid any scratches.

probably not, the scraper is actually more rounded as it folds around the top and bottom. i get no scratches on my decks from this shovel. it is really big and cumbersome though, i wonder if a plow type shovel would better suit my needs? but this does the job.

This scraper is sold alone. It does not have a mirror or come with one. Honestly, I found this difficult to use. I probably would not recommend this tool.

No, it has a non-stick coating on top and silicone or nylon should be used to preserve the coating. I personally don't use the scraper that came with it, some reviewers said it scarred up the top. It's super easy just to wipe off with a warm dish towel or sponge.

I use the brush to loosen up the nasty stuff, then use the scraper to get it off....It works brilliantly when you do it like that.

You can use metal utensils. I still have so many plastic, and you can still use those. Just don't leave them near the heat or touching surfaces very long.

I have not had reason to expose the handle to different heat than the scraper. It does okay when I leave it on top of the oven.
