This scoop replaced a Zyliss Metal Ice-Cream Scoop which we'd had for years. I retired it after finding metal flakes from the scoop in my bowl of ice cream. For a replacement scoop I had two few criteria:
- Stainless steel scoop - didn't want more metal flakes
- No mechanical gimmicks like a button or lever to push to eject the ice cream
I did consider the Zyliss again briefly, because it is a good scoop, but recent reviews indicate the metal is flaking off a lot faster than it used to. Our scoop was fine for years before we noticed pitting and bubbling of the metal coating.
I usually don't consider OXO products because I've had a few and I don't like the handle with the soft rubber sides, like on this ice cream scoop: Oxo Steel Ice Cream Scoop.
This scoop is the best scoop I've used. The scoop portion is stainless steel and it has a great shape to it. The tip is pointed which makes it easy to get the scoop moving in very hard or dense ice cream. We sometimes buy Costco's super premium vanilla ice cream which is very dense - it's pretty easy to scoop with this scoop.
The ice cream curls up with this product as you scoop it. That was one complaint I had against the Zyliss scoop - the ice cream would overrun the scoop and get on my hand. This scoop is dishwasher safe, too, and so far so good, it's holding up so far to nightly trips through the dishwasher.
You've probably looked at a lot of ice cream scoops...I know I did. I even read America's Test Kitchen's review of ice cream scoops. They favored the Rösle 12741 Ice Cream Scoop followed by the Zeroll Original 2-Ounce Zeroll Aluminum Scoop. I didn't get the first one because it sounds like (from reviews) the quality has gone down since the manufacturing moved from Germany to China, and I didn't buy the 2nd one because it's not dishwasher safe (yeah, I'm lazy like that). This scoop is also made in China but it appears very well made and I expect it to hold up for years.
Trust me, this is the ice cream scoop to buy. No gimmicks, just a good, solid, stainless steel ice cream scoop. Stop spending so much time looking at scoops and just get this one.

If the hammer of Thor was an ice cream scoop...
We make a lot of smoothies in my family. A LOT. My son is autistic and VERY picky, so in order to get him the nutrition he needs we have to sneak protein powder, fruits and veggies into a vitamix smoothie for him every day and mask it all with a couple scoops of sorbet or frozen yogurt. We have now broken more cheap store bought ice cream scoops than I can count. Seriously, I have lost track!! We have tried all the kinds: - Wood handle, metal head: bent to the point of being unusable (see pic for side by side comparison) - Plastic handle, metal scoop with the push button release scraper thingy: that function always breaks - Plastic handle with metal scoop: scoop eventually breaks away from the handle. Always. - Anti-freezer core: You can't wash it in hot water! Who really wants an ice cream scoop that you can't throw in the dishwasher!?! I had finally had it with the cheap generic store brands and decided to search for and buy a real, solid, well made scoop that would work well and last longer than a few weeks. I have had great experiences with other OXO products (see my reviews) so I decided to give this scoop a try. (and no, I didn't get this for free or at a discount for saying so) Here's what I love about this scoop: - REAL STAINLESS STEEL! We have thrown this in the wash over and over and over and over and I can confirm that it doesn't discolor or fade or rust or anything like that! The handle is also great and provide a fantastic grip to get the job done. - STURDY AS HELL! The first time I picked this scoop up I felt like I was lifting the hammer of Thor, and that's exactly what I wanted!! This thing weighs like, a pound, so you KNOW it's going to stand up to even the hardest scooping and most frozen of frozen treats. And indeed it does! If this scoop ever bends or breaks I will eat my hat. And then I will call OXO customer service and I'm sure they will replace it. But seriously, I think this ice cream scoop could survive the apocalypse. - The design of the scoop is nothing short of brilliant. It's so simple and yet so effective! I LOVE LOVE LOVE the pointed tip and flat sides! It's so easy to maneuver into all corners of the carton and to break the surface to get that first good scoop even when frozen solid. Also, the shape and weight would make it perfect to use to kill zombies with if said apocalypse happens. Just sayin'. If you're looking for an ice cream scoop and you're reading this review, do yourself a favor and just buy this one. You will be completely satisfied and can pat yourself on the back for being such a good shopper. TRUST!! I did NOT receive this item free or at a discount

Bonjour,Olive58The cuillère à glace
Reviewed in France on September 2, 2018
Alors ,j’ai découvert cette cuillère à glace au cours d’un dîner.
Et la qualité m’a bluffé. J’en est eu des dures qui perdaient de leur éclat et voir de leur écaille (IKEA),des pas cher qui durait le temps d’une glace en ce tordant et celle-ci est lourde ,tiens bien en main et ne ce plie pas sous l’effort.
Enfin je recommande à 200%
Bon ce n’est pas donné ,mais en faisant le calcul j’avais déjà dépensé la même somme.
Bonne dégustation
