Now there’s a fun article full of tantalizing images that keeps me drooling! I have many years of restaurant experience in my past and have scooped my share of ice cream. But I never paid that much attention to the utensil with which I scooped.
I was ready to jump on the Vollrath Disher for its voluminous capabilities until I realized that you did not include its score from Amazon reviews. You mentioned “overwhelming response with commendable ratings” but no statistical evidence. Might you be hiding something sinister in your report on the Viking sounding deliverer of frozen delight? I may never know.
Thanks for all the adjectives in your report. It made for enjoyable reading.
Yeah, that Vollrath Disher is definitely a great option!
I enjoyed reading your review of ice cream scoops. I can tell you really enjoy your subject matter and write with much joviality. I never knew there was such art and enjoyment in scooping ice cream. I can remember times though when it wasn’t enjoyable when I had a bad scoop and the ice cream was really hard. I need to remember your recommendations. Will you be putting any links to purchase on Amazon?
There definitely is an art to scooping, and if you have every used a spoon from your kitchen drawer or a low end scoop, you can appreciate how frustrating it is to get that perfect scoop. There are lots of great stainless steel options, some that even heat up with your body temperature as you are scooping to create the ultimate scooping utensil!
Hi, there are a lot of cool choices here for ice cream scoops. With today’s selection there’s no need to use a cheap ice cream scooper, you only live once so it’s great to buy cool stuff like this. Also the shelf life is probably a life time.
Out of all of these which would you say is a good choice for someone on a budget but still wants something cool?
You’ve hit the nail on the head Jake! Investing in quality tools (especially ones that can last a lifetime) is always a smart decision. As for ice cream scoops, they not only serve a functional purpose but can also add a touch of joy to the ice cream serving experience….and alleviate frustration if you are using a low quality scoop.
For someone on a budget who still wants a cool and durable scoop, I’d recommend looking for one with an ergonomic grip and a sturdy metal construction. There are plenty of options that have a unique design or feature, like a release mechanism that don’t break the bank.
A scoop with a heat-conductive fluid inside can also be a game-changer as it helps to easily glide through even the hardest of ice creams and that is the reason the Zeroll, is one of my core recommendations. If you can budget for that, go for it!
Remember, a good scoop doesn’t just make the task easier—it elevates the whole ice cream experience!
