Product Description

Amazon.com Review

With a spring-loaded popup release, this medium-size round scoop (2-1/4-inch-diameter bowl and 9 inches long overall) molds perfect little mounds of ice cream, sherbet, and other frozen desserts. The release, which operates with a push of the thumb, also makes possible neatly molded servings of vegetable purées, like bright-green peas and yellow butternut squash. Oxo's Steel line is an all-stainless-steel variant of the company's familiar fat-handled Good Grips line. Rather than being straight-sided, this tool's handle is tapered from heel to finger grip and has satin-finish, stainless-steel panels top and bottom. The handle's sides feature the same design as those in the Good Grips line--they're made of soft processed rubber for comfort, with "fins," or grooves, that flex under pressure, conforming to individual finger grips and providing control when handles are wet or slippery. Like all Oxo tools, this ice cream scoop is dishwasher-safe; a hole in its handle facilitates hanging on a hook or peg. --Fred Brack

Product Description

What we like best about this scoop, aside from its artful and ergonomic design, is the ease with which you release the ice cream. A little pop-up lever gently does the trick. (No more banging on the side of your ice cream dish). It's a darn good looking gadget too, you must admit.

5.0 out of 5 stars Slip-Free Scoops & Not Just For Ice Cream, December 4, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: OXO SteeL Ice Cream Scoop (Kitchen)

OXO International is one of my favorite kitchen product companies. They have earned awards for their ergonimically designed kitchen tools. This particular scoop they make is no exception.

The scoop is made of a light-weight brushed stainless steel, has soft side rubber grips for easy handling, a perfectly round scoop with a handy lever that my thumb pops perfectly when ready to release whatever it is I am scooping!

Besides ice cream--my fav being White Chocolate Raspberry produced by a famous candy company, yum-- I have used this scoop for perfect round portions of macaroni and potato salad, mashed potatoes,(helps in portion control, if dieting) and the kids have a great time making their own sno-cones with easily shaped shaved ice mounds!

The scoop is dishwasher safe and comes with a lifetime guarantee. Another great OXO product at a good price.

I love this scoop! It scoops easily even the hardest ice cream, in fact I would say that it was made to scoop hard ice cream as the release lever doesn't work as well on softer ice cream. I'm very pleased!

This review is from: OXO SteeL Ice Cream Scoop (Kitchen)

What made me order this wonderful scoop? I guess I was just tired of digging into a carton of thick gooey ice cream, only to have the spoon be bent. Just a note, Soup spoons were not made to be used as ice cream scoops ( I just learned this). I realize that with this wonderful scoop I could get perfect mounds of ice cream every time I used it. No more tiny flecks and then major gobbs being torn out of the ice cream box. This scoop makes everything more uniform and appealing. This scoop is also easier on my poor hand. No more forcing a soup spoon into a mass of ice cream. No more bent up spoons. No more agony trying to make a treat for me or my sweetie. This scoop is pure pleasure. Don't go another day without it!
