Zeroll 1016-ZT Zerolon Hardcoat Anodized Commercial Ice Cream Scoop with Unique Liquid Filled Heat Conductive Handle Easy Release 32 Scoops per Gallon, 2.5-Ounce, Black

Nice and heavy. I like the finish. Easy to clean. No moving parts. Scoops perfect ice cream balls and then it falls right off. Such a simple design and works very well. I had a kitchen aid scooper that came with a set of kitchen utensils and it had a similar design, but it didn’t scoop nearly as well as this. Seems like a lot to spend on an ice cream scooper, but it works and will probably be your last that you’ll ever buy, unless you lose it or something. Highly recommend.

I had wanted one of these for years, I’m glad I finally found it. Plastic scoops and mechanical scoops are no match. As the manufacturer’s description says, this scoop curls the ice cream into a nice round serving that may have a hollow at the centre. In a shop the server’s hand will warm the scoop enough for it to release easily. At home, where only a few scoops might be served at a time, a brief dip in warm water (NOT HOT) does the same thing. Wash the scoop quickly under the tap and put it away; NEVER put it in the dish washer. The high dish washer temperature and strong detergent will cause damage and spoil your enjoyment of a fine utensil.

We have purchased two of these. They work great, but the main issue is making sure they don't get put in the dish washer. The first one was put in the dish washer by one of our kids and we didn't realize. Our second was put in by a visiting relative, also without us knowing. Both ruined, so we are now find something that can go through the dishwasher. That one issue just makes it kind of annoying because you spend a decent amount on it for it just accidently get ruined.

Great product

I love everything about this scoop: scoops ice cream out smooth and easy, cleans easy, looks beautiful. I’m sure you’ve already read lots of reviews attesting to this. However, my favorite thing about this is that the 32 scoops per gallon that this scoop is described as doing is sooooo accurate that (when you do the math) you can count on 12 scoops per a typical 1.5 quart ice cream container from the grocery store. I try to make a container last me 4 nights, so now the guess work is taken out by simply scooping 3 scoops per serving (3 scoops for 4 nights equaling 12 scoops). To some this may sound trivial, but before I would never guess right; almost always serving myself more than I intended with my previous scoop. Before, I would get to night 3 and end up just finishing the rest because there wasn’t enough left for night 4. This scoop is so dependable with portions that I almost always get exactly (and I mean exactly) 12 scoops per a typical 1.5 quart container.
