Does the trigger actually push the ice cream out?

Yes. The spring trigger sweeps the bowl to release the scoop. It works best on slightly softened ice cream; very hard ice cream can resist the sweep.

How big are the scoops?

The bowl holds about 4 ounces, so scoops are on the small side. Expect modest portions rather than large bakery-style scoops.

Yes, the scoop is listed as dishwasher safe. Hand washing also works and may keep the trigger spring moving freely longer.

It can, but with effort. Letting the tub sit out a few minutes makes scooping easier and puts less strain on the trigger.

The bowl is stainless steel with a green handle. The metal resists rust and staining with normal use.

Yes. Softer frozen desserts like sorbet and frozen yogurt release cleanly from the bowl, which is where this scoop performs best.
