Amazon.com Review

This ice-cream scoop has sharp metal edges that cut perfectly round balls from even the hardest ice cream, frozen yogurt, or sorbet. The handle is ergonomically designed for holding with a fist while keeping hands and wrists from feeling strained. For safety, the handle is made of non-slip plastic that provides a secure grip and insulates hands from the cold temperature of the scoop. For long-term durability, the handle is coated with UV protection to prevent it from ever yellowing. This ice-cream scoop is comfortable for either righties or lefties to use and is covered by Zyliss under a five-year warranty from the date of purchase. --Cristina Vaamonde

5.0 out of 5 stars Satisfying a scoop connoisseur, September 18, 2006

This review is from: Zyliss 71372 Metal Ice-Cream Scoop with Ergonomic Plastic Handle, White (Kitchen)

We've been through 4 different ice cream scoops over the past few years, and haven't really been satisfied with one until now. This scoop is fantastic!

The stand-out feature for me is the ability to scoop really hard ice cream. We keep our freezer set at 0 degrees for food presevation, but premium ice creams are rock hard at that temperature. But I'm too impatient to wait for the ice cream to soften!

The zyliss has two features that make it better at scooping hard ice cream:

1. The shape of the handle -- this is a scoop that you can really productively bear down on. There's a nice edge to push against with your thumb, and the scoop is aligned so that a downward thrust is very effective at scooping. Many scoops fail by providing nothing to push down against (leaving one trying to grasp the handle very hard to hold on) or having a scoop that requires a sideways (instead of downward) scooping motion.

2. The "beak" of the scoop -- it's almost sharp, and helps cut through the ice cream and any embedded goodies. However, it's not pointy in the way that some are, and won't accidentally pierce the side of the container.

Now, it doesn't magically scoop hard ice cream- it still requires significant force. What's different is that this scoop actually lets one use a lot of force!

The only downside is that we've found it's not completely dishwasher safe. After several weeks of use, we started getting tiny corrosion spots in the scoop bowl. This has been true for *every* scoop we've ever tried, so we've resolved just to handwash it, which isn't a big deal.

2.0 out of 5 stars Good design except CORROSION of scoop, April 14, 2008

Had two. Current one just like the first one is seriously corroded. Scoop surface appears to be chrome but not. If it is aluminum the anodizing breaks down. A different brand that was aluminum had the same problem. My guess is anodized aluminum not suitable.

Generally Zyliss makes quality kitchen tools. This has serious flaw. Wrote them and they offered a new one free if I sent the old one in. Not worth the time and cost. The corrosion is serious over time. Maybe a teflon coating?

Yes, this would be for the serious ice cream scooper. An ergonomic handle, in a choice of fab colors-among them orange and pink, a nice heft to it, and the ability to make perfect scoops that do not require a lot of effort to get the ice cream into your bowl. Very good quality and much more than I expected. This one is built to last! Highly recommend it!
