Bottle scraper

Bottle scraper or bottle scraper spoon is a kitchen utensil that is specifically designed to scrape the contents from the inside of a long-necked bottle. This tool is particularly useful for extracting the last bits of food products such as ketchup, mayonnaise, or any other condiment that is stored in a bottle.

History

The history of kitchen utensils shows that the bottle scraper was invented in the early 20th century. It was initially used in commercial kitchens and later became popular in household kitchens. The invention of the bottle scraper has significantly reduced food waste by allowing users to fully utilize the contents of a bottle.

Design and Use

The design of a bottle scraper typically includes a long, thin handle and a flexible rubber or silicone head. The head of the scraper is designed to fit inside the neck of a bottle, while the handle is long enough to reach the bottom of the bottle. The flexible head can conform to the shape of the bottle, ensuring that all contents are scraped off the sides and bottom.

To use a bottle scraper, one inserts the flexible head into the bottle and moves it around to scrape off the remaining contents. The contents can then be easily poured out of the bottle.

Variations

There are several variations of the bottle scraper, including models with telescopic handles, models with heads of different shapes, and models designed for specific types of bottles. Some bottle scrapers also include a brush on the opposite end of the handle for cleaning the inside of the bottle.
