This is a spade, which is immeasurably better the classic scoop design, and it makes extricating the ice cream from its container much much easier.

The liquid core helps cut through very cold ice cream, but also means it cannot go through the dish washer. If you don't wash dishes by hand, you may not want to get this item, but if you do, and your an ice cream fan its a must.

Ice Cream scoop works great. The finish is smooth and easy to clean. Be careful not to put it in the dishwasher

Perfect for tough ice cream. The handle is a little large, but the spade is great. We really like that it can just "cut" right through the ice cream. I also enjoy using it to create "Cold Stone at Home" by mashing in mix-ins with the spade. And NO it is not dishwasher safe, if you put it in the dishwasher it will tarnish. So if you don't care about it looking tarnished, wash away, I'm not sure of the long term effect a dishwasher will have on the antifreeze in the handle. If you have already tarnished it and want it to look new again just use some silver polish and it will look great. Great product, we highly recommend it!

Worked great until the wife puts it in the dishwasher - after annoying her repeatedly by reminding her not to do so. So it goes!

I had one of these Zeroll Ice Cream Spades through the 80's and 90's along with their 3" scoop. The spade somehow lost it's de-icer capability so it wound up in the recycle bin. I still have the 3" scoop which is great for making ice cream cones...it is about 25 years old...and decided that I would like to have another spade. Found it at Amazon and have used it many times since it arrived. Ice cream will not stick to the aluminum surface and the spade makes it quick and easy to get LOTS of ice cream into a bowl or other container.

Follow the care instructions that come with the spade! Do not put any of the Zeroll ice cream scoops or spades in the dish washer as the heat will destroy the chemicals in the handle that allow for the ice cream to slide right off. Just hand wash and dry and it will last for years.

I'd give it 5 stars except that I have to remember to not put it in the dishwasher as the liquid in the handle could explode if exposed to the high temps in a dishwasher. Other than that it is great!
