- Does it work on very hard ice cream?
- It handles softened ice cream and sorbet well. Straight from a deep freezer, the scoop needs firm pressure and may flex, so let the tub sit out a few minutes first.
- Is the non-stick coating safe to wash in a dishwasher?
- Hand washing is the safer choice. Dishwasher heat and detergent can degrade non-stick coatings over time, and hand washing also protects the finish from scratching.
- Can I use it for cookie dough or melon balls?
- Yes for soft dough and melon. Avoid twisting hard against very dense frozen dough, since the bowl and handle joint take the strain.
- How does it compare with a spring-loaded scoop?
- A spring-loaded scoop pushes the ice cream out with a lever, which is easier on hard tubs. This one relies on the non-stick coating and wrist action, so it is simpler but needs more effort.
- What is in the box?
- One ice cream scoop. No stand, cover or extra accessories are included.
- Where is the Unique Bargains Stainless Steel Ice Cream Scoop 7.7" cheapest?
- At Walmart, for $10.29, as of our latest check.
