HIC KitchenFood Scoop, 18/8 Stainless Steel, Wide Mouth, For Transferring Chopped Ingredients And Scraping Pastry Dough, 6-Inch

Great quality, stainless steel scoop at an excellent price. I use it to help empty my Harvest Right Medium Trays; it works great and fits nicely for that purpose. Dishwasher safe.

I bought this for scooping food off of medium Harvest Right freeze dryer trays and putting it in bags. This scoop fits the trays very well. I like that it is flat across the bottom with raised sides to prevent food falling off. It works great for putting food into larger bags, but I still need a funnel for some smaller bags. It's very sturdy, easy to hold, and washes easily. Overall I'm very happy with the purchase.

Excellent,somewhat larger than I expected, but great for dealing with cut foods of many types, and getting them to where you want

I like this scoop and it's really good to use this when using a good knife that you don't want to be scraping across your cutting board, which can dull the blade. The scoop is sturdy and works well but the one thing that could be better is to have the curled end more open or completely closed. Small pieces of food can get into the curled part and then you have to try to make sure you get them washed out completely. Other than that design flaw I think it works really well.

Great product and great price. Very handy! I love it! I have small hands so this really makes a difference in the kitchen!

I have been using this to scoop products off of freeze dryer trays and it works really well. Works well to chop and scoop. Nice quality stainless.

I got this food scoop because I was tired of picking chopped veg up off the floor. This gets prepped ingredients from cutting board to pan in 1 trip without anything falling. It’s just the right size to dump chopped veg into the pan and not onto the stove. It’s neat and tidy…way better than using my chef knife blade, which always dropped stuff into the floor. The scoop’s wide, rounded handle gave me a really secure grip. I used it transfer chopped onion and shredded cheese to the pan, and even to discard onion skins in the garbage can. It’s a keeper.

This is too heavy in my hand and too thick a gauge metal—not thin enough to scrape up things well because the edge isn’t beveled. But there’s another issue—I needed it to scrape freeze-dried food off of the freeze-drier tray and into a bucket, however, the gap in the rounded handle makes food get all caught up inside the rolled end. I guess it depends on for what you need this. Just keep in mind that that gap can be problematic for certain applications. I thought I’d bend it up and around backwards but the gauge is too heavy. I think I’d rather have a perpendicular handle. This would probable work great for a man’s hand, it just feels awkward to me, I would like it half that gauge at the very least. I have mini scoops of this metal style with sides, love the sides, but they don’t have this round handle, thank goodness. I think this scoop would be perfect for certain purposes for others because it is high quality and well made. I would still bevel the edge’s though. The price is very fair for what you get. If that gap is a problem for you, you could probably fill it or cover it with tape, or bend it a lot more open. I am not going to return it, I hate the hassle, so I will have the handle bent up, bevel the edge, and see if the weight will work after I put a handle on it.
