I had an old scoop that was never great. This design with the comfortable handle and a little bit of a point at the tip makes it SO much easier to scoop harder ice creams!

Glad I picked this up. I was getting tired of bending cheap spoons when scooping ice cream and was looking for a good ice cream scoop. I've tried others in the past that seemed like they were made of plastic and fell apart within a year. This is not that! My first impression right after opening it was how heavy and solid it was. Trust me, this thing isn't going to bend.

I don't know exactly what metal it is made of, but it seems to be good quality. It has a brushed finish and is smooth to the touch. The edges are smooth, coming to a slight point in the front which helps it dig into the more "premium" ice creams which are usually more frozen solid. It makes a nice smooth scoop of ice cream and falls of into the cone or bowl without having to fight with it. No need for the release mechanisms like on some ice cream scoops. The rubberized handle is soft and smooth and you can easily keep a good grip on it. As far as cleaning goes, it's very easy. There are no ridges or designs on the handle for stuff to get stuck it, and the spot where the handle meets the scoop part looks to be sealed well to keep water out.

I wasn't sure if I should pay $12 for an ice cream scoop, but after using it I am glad I did!

Forgot what a good scooper can do. So much easier and handle grip is great.

We have the cut co version of this and it is much more expensive. The beak like point on both of these scoops make it very easy to scoop.

I've been bragging about my Tupperware ice cream scoop for years and couldn't find one better - until now. This beats that one (and is much less expensive) hands down! It's sturdy, will not break, and I've had my first one for a year now and still looks brand new. Trust me - it gets a workout too - my hubby eats ice cream every day. Don't hesitate- this is the scoop you want!
