New Star Foodservice 35421 Commercial-Grade Ice Cream Dipper Scoop, Self Defrost, 2.5 oz, Size 16, Green

Works exactly as it should, makes scooping sooooo much easier. Can't believe I didn't do this sooner; much more comfortable than just a spoon for scooping.

I don’t consider myself an ice cream scoop fanatic and I don’t write in depth reviews, but after trying this? I’m about to order the bigger size as well. I was looking for something with the feel and functionality of the original (barely vintage) pampered chef ice cream scoops, but an easier to clean version. I almost purchased the Zeroll brand .. but 26$ for an ice cream scoop? In this economy? Absolutely not. I bought this one and was surprised by how light it was, I was expecting a heavier scoop, but the weight is sturdy enough to to be put use but light enough for disabled/elderly people who might have trouble using heavy metal utensils. I tested it with rock hard ice cream straight of out the back of my freezer, IMMEDIATELY cut through it like butter with perfectly shaped scoops. I don’t think I’ve ever been more impressed in my life by something so simple. 15/10.

Nice scoop.

Easy to use, scoop is smaller than expected.

This is not a safe or quality product.!!! It chipped somehow, after extreme careful use…weve literally only used this probably 4 times! I’ve done hand washing, stored on its own, never dropped it. When we serve ice cream I always let it set out for a few minutes first, so it’s not like I was scooping in to some rock hard deep frozen ice cream ! Even if I was, in no instance should this happen. Even worse, not sure how but it’s possible my husband accidentally ate that piece of sharp metal !!

This scooper really works! Easy grip and cuts right through ice cream right out of freezer. Makes nicely formed scoops for cones. Pricey, but watch for sales. I’ve purchased for family as well.

To be honest, I had my doubts about this little scoop. It is filled with anti-freeze, and so requires special handling, can not be put through the dishwasher. I bought it after reading a review of a similar model which indicated this it is what is used in in ice cream parlors. It was inexpensive enough that I thought worth taking a chance on. I have nicely designed scoop from Zyliss Zyliss Right Scoop Assorted Colors which I love, however... I made some ice cream for my son's birthday with a fabulous recipe from the New York Times. It tastes great, if you can get it out of the container. It is a very dense, rich ice cream which froze very solid. It has taken quite a bit of work to get any out with my regular scoop, but this has worked like magic. I never would have considered purchasing a scoop filled with anti-freeze until I saw that review, so Thank you to whoever recommended it, and I am passing that recommendation on, as I a finding that this works quite well, well enough that I intend to buy another in a different size (because I like that recipe too).

Worked really well when we first bought it, but over the past few months it's become less effective. It feels like the substance inside has hardened a bit if that makes sense. Definitely not as liquid as before and doesn't eat into the ice cream as easily. I've never put it in the dishwasher, and only hand wash it in warm water.

I am no pro but an average home owner who has bent or broken every scout to cross my path. This scoup seams sturdy by design and magical in it's ease through ice cream, may be due to it's shape but the effort required is 75% less than my last scoup.

Works great!

Read the directions, understood the hand wash only. Washed it twice, had to throw out the ice cream tub. Terrible.

Maybe this is common knowledge to some but I did not realize putting this item through the dishwasher would blacken it! It's apparently possible to clean, but this information should be somewhere on the product page. Hand wash only!

It is easy to use this to scoop up hard ice cream. Just need to remember never put it in dishwasher.
