 Just about perfect.Sep 09, 2003
I've had one of these for almost a decade and love the way it handles ice cream. Unfortunately, I also own the "non-stick" version and as the finish ages, the dark color from the scoop is transferred to the ice cream: a most undesirable effect. Seriously, just buy the regular, not-nonstick version.The real secret is the conductivity of the anti-freeze solution and the aluminum that encases it. The solution readily transfers heat from your hand to the handle, to the liquid, which warms the scoop ever so slightly after you scoop. By pre-warming the handle & liquid in lukewarm (NOT HOT) water for 90 seconds, you'll allow the scoop to release the scooped ice cream faster. Also, that 90 seconds actually lets the ice cream temper before you scoop. The end result: no-longer rock hard ice cream that you can readily scoop and virtually drop in a dish or on a cone. Note: if the surface of the scooped ice cream retains a liquid appearance for more than a few moments or (Eek!) if liquified cream runs off of the ice cream, you've over-heated the handle. Don't worry, just a bit of practice...

Once you try this you won't go back to conventional scoopsMay 14, 2001
By Stephanie Manley
This scoop does what others fail to do. This cuts through ice cream easily. The antifreeze that is built into the handle absorbs the coolness of the ice cream, and melts its way through easily. If you place an ice cube on this, it will easily melt it in about 60 seconds. I loved my ice cream scoop. I have to say loved it, because I had a family member take one with them when they tried it. I highly recommend this if you are looking for an ice cream scoop.

A scoop above.Oct 26, 2002
By Evelyn D. Cruze
"evwings"
No more bent spoons. No more throwing out a scoop that has been broken. This scoop is a scoop above the rest. It makes getting that ice cream out of the box and into the bowl so easy. Although it is not dishwasher safe, that is a small price to pay for keeping the rest of the silverware safe from being bent or tossed. Why didn't someone think of this years ago? Sure, it is a bit pricey, but again - I feel well worth it in the long run. You won't be unhappy with this purchase.

Here's the Scoop!Mar 29, 2001
By Kim Cannedy
Ever wonder why they call it ICE Cream? Because it sits in your freezer and gets rock hard. This is the only scoop I know that will change that. Prove it? Hold this handy scoop in your hand to activate the anit-freeze inside, and set an ice cube in the bowl - then watch it melt!! One word of Caution - this product is NOT dishwasher safe.

Great scoop. Bad discolorationSep 15, 2005
By Christopher Welch
I enjoy the scoop immensly. Solid feeling in your hand, and performs like a pro. Unfortunately, after washing it and placing it in my drying tray, the water on the bottom of my tray badly discolored the scoop, turning it a dark brown color. The discoloration doesn't go away either. Buy the scoop, love the scoop, but please keep it dry!
