Product Description

Amazon.com Review

With a push button to gently break the vacuum inside the bowl, this tool forms perfect, 2-inch-diameter scoops of ice cream and releases them in a jiffy--just like those dished up by the pros at Baskin-Robbins. The push button is spring loaded so it releases ice cream and then snaps back into place for the next scoop. The index finger operates the push button, which is easy to use even for children. Made of steel, the scoop is 8 inches long and carries a five-year warranty against defects. --Fred Brack

5.0 out of 5 stars This is the real deal. Everything else is a toy., November 17, 2001

This is the best scoop ever! Do not confuse this with the flimsy scoops you purchase from the grocery or department store-- you can just throw them away! Its real heavy and the teeth cut though the ice cream like butter. Plus the release button on top allows you to perfectly place scoops onto your cone-- no other ice cream scoop has that.

Btw the secret to making perfectly round ice cream scoops is rinsing the scooper after every scoop. That way the ice cream never gets stuck/freezes in the scoop. Don't fall for the scoops that claim to be "non-stick" or the microwavable ones-- not worth the money.

2.0 out of 5 stars close but not the same scoop used in stores, March 22, 2004

This review is from: Baskin-Robbins Ice Cream Scoop (Kitchen)

As a former Baskin Robbins owner for 20 years I can attest to the fact that this is NOT the scoop used in BR stores. Our 25+ year old scoops are still bright and shiny-- and solid stainless steel, very heavy. Also, there is no name inscribed in the actual scoops. The newer "real" scoops used today have a serrated edge. But the operation of the scoop can't be beat-it is the best designed scoop there is. But this resale item is merely a cheaper version of the real thing (which currently costs over $25 from the only approved smallwares supplier BR has and can only sell to BR stores!)

1.0 out of 5 stars Worst scooper I've ever used, September 3, 2002

This review is from: Baskin-Robbins Ice Cream Scoop (Kitchen)

After reading several great reviews, I thought this would be the perfect replacement for a lost (cheaper) ice cream scooper. Unfortunately, I found it sorely lacking in several areas. First, the scoop head itsself is rather thin. Thus, it turns cold immediately and the ice cream sticks to it - even after rinsing in hot water. Second, the shape of the head is a half-sphere, which doesn't form balls as well as the more saddle-shaped heads. Third, the push-out lever is a pain to use and clean - with better-shaped heads, getting the ball out is not an issue - with this one, it often doesn't work and gets gunked up pretty quickly. Finally, as another review pointed out the finish looks awful after one wash in the dishwasher.
