Is this scoop good for hard ice cream?

Not really. The plastic head has no sharp edge or trigger, so dense ice cream is hard to dig into. It is better for loose ice, flour, sugar and grain.

Can it go in the dishwasher?

No. It is hand wash only, so rinse and dry it by hand to avoid warping.

How big is the scoop?

It is about 7.6 inches long overall, with a 3-inch handle and a head roughly 3.9 inches wide. That wide head moves a lot of loose material per scoop.

Will it scratch my containers?

No. The all-plastic build is safe for nonstick, plastic and coated bins, unlike metal scoops.

Is it one piece or does it come apart?

It is a simple one-piece plastic scoop with no moving parts, so there is nothing to assemble or lose.

What is it best used for?

Filling ice buckets, coolers and bins, and scooping dry goods like flour, sugar or pet food.

Our take on the Unique Bargains Kitchen Plastic Scoops

This is a basic all-plastic scoop about 7.6 inches long, with a 3-inch handle and a wide scoop head aimed at filling ice buckets and bins. It is hand wash only and has no metal parts, so it will not rust or scratch nonstick and plastic containers. It suits light kitchen and party use rather than heavy ice cream service; a metal scoop digs into hard ice cream better, while this one is better for loose ice, grain, flour and candy. Owners of similar plastic scoops say they are light and easy to rinse but can crack under hard pressure.
