New Star 35469 Commercial Grade Self Defrost Ice Cream Dipper Scoop, 1.5-Ounce, Size 24, Red

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!

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).

Very smooth and easy to use while scooping ice cream. Easy to clean and store.

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!
