Smart Scoop Squeeze Handle Nonstick Ice Cream Scooper (green)

It is hand wash only, probably for whatever coating is on the metal. If you have weak or injured hands that limit your squeezing abilities, this isn't for you. Otherwise, this is the scoop you want. It's just an ice cream scoop, but it's the right ice cream scoop. This is better at scooping, getting round scoops, and releasing than the solid, lever, or spade types of scoops. Between the coating and the split bowl, it releases every time, which I can't say for any other type that I've tried and is my main reason for preferring this type. It has an angled edge that works well even on hard, overly frozen ice cream. I don't care about ice cream's presentation, but the size of the bowl or the coating or both seem to make much more perfect scoops. It looks like it's a 1/4 cup bowl, so 2 scoops should be accurate for the recommended 1/2 serving if that's what actually determines how much ice cream you eat.

I love how easy this makes scooping ice cream...and...the scoops come out perfect. I got one just like this at TJ Maxx a few years ago and my son and his friends have commented several times how awesome it is to use. Well my son just moved out to go to college and I had to order him one for his new apartment..he said if i couldn't find one he was going to take the one from our house...even though it is a metallic pink..he said he didn't care as long as he had one..i looked all over at local stores and no luck but found this one on Amazon. It is exactly like the other one but red...so needless to say...i kept mine and him and his friends have been making alot of rootbeer floats....everyone is happy. I have never had an ice cream scoop as easy to use as this one..even when ice cream is super frozen it goes right through and never hurts your hand. I use it for scooping watermelon and canteloupe balls too. Now my sister wants one.

I owned a silver one previously for about 18-19 years. Finally threw it out because the coating was coming off on the ice cream. So I had been searching the stores high and low, but no one sells these scoops. I don't understand why, they are simply the best. Of course, I could find it on Amazon. This green one is nice and works exactly like my old one. I'm pretty sure my old one was not dishwasher safe and neither is this one. I'm hoping if I had wash this one, it will last me longer than 19 years! I love this scoop and highly recommend it!!!

I bought this because I had a similar scoop that I ruined by putting in the dishwasher (did the same to my Kitchen-Aid mixer paddle...will I ever learn?). This is the best design of an ice cream scoop ever. It's easier to scoop with and easier to release. I really wish someone would manufacture this thing in stainless steel instead of coated nickel or whatever the heck they make these with so I could toss it in the dishwasher when done.

This was a replacement for an old scoop of the same style that I ran through the dishwasher and the coating came off. Unfortunately, when it says to hand wash they mean it which is inconvenient. A great product though.

My husband is the ice cream eater/scooper. Not sure if other wives have this situation, but when i ask my husband his opinion on something i get a very minimal response. Sometimes its just a grunt. Anyways, i did get from him "Works" which is a very positive response.

This is a good scoop for ice cream although it does stick to the ice cream after a couple scoops. It is super sturdy and beats out all the other scoops I have ever used. I really like it a lot! Well worth the money!!

Although it doesn't look like any other ice cream scooper it out performs all others ... it works so much better ... it easily releases nice round scoops
