BALCI Ice Cream Scoop - Heavy Duty Stainless Steel Icecream Scooper With Non-Slip Rubber Grip - Professional Metal Ice-Cream Spade - Dishwasher Safe – Black

Glad I picked this up. I was getting tired of bending cheap spoons when scooping ice cream and was looking for a good ice cream scoop. I've tried others in the past that seemed like they were made of plastic and fell apart within a year. This is not that! My first impression right after opening it was how heavy and solid it was. Trust me, this thing isn't going to bend. I don't know exactly what metal it is made of, but it seems to be good quality. It has a brushed finish and is smooth to the touch. The edges are smooth, coming to a slight point in the front which helps it dig into the more "premium" ice creams which are usually more frozen solid. It makes a nice smooth scoop of ice cream and falls of into the cone or bowl without having to fight with it. No need for the release mechanisms like on some ice cream scoops. The rubberized handle is soft and smooth and you can easily keep a good grip on it. As far as cleaning goes, it's very easy. There are no ridges or designs on the handle for stuff to get stuck it, and the spot where the handle meets the scoop part looks to be sealed well to keep water out. I wasn't sure if I should pay $12 for an ice cream scoop, but after using it I am glad I did!

This well-crafted ice cream scoop is made from high-quality stainless steel, featuring an ergonomic handle that provides a comfortable grip. Its slightly pinched front and precisely rounded bowl make scooping effortless, even with hard ice cream. Packaged in a nice box, it makes a perfect gift. We plan to hand-wash.

I have very high hopes for this ice cream scoop. I had used standard cookie scoops in the past, and they fall apart. A regular tablespoon bends from the hardness of the ice cream. I figured at this point in my life, I wanted a quality ice cream scoop that will last as long as I do. I believe this one is it. I was initially concerned about the handle because I did not want it cracking or falling off, but this one appears very secure and durable. The scoop has a nice heft to it, which suggests that it is quality-made. I haven't decided if I am going to put it in the dishwasher. Probably not. The price was far less than I expected. UPDATE MONTHS LATER: I caved, and I have been putting it in the dishwasher. It still looks as good and works as well as the day I bought it.

This is a great ice cream scoop. Pointed on the end to dig into frozen ice cream and heavy enough to bear the weight of a 200 pound man leaning on the scoop to get it into the ice cream. Washes in the dish washer without any problems.

This scoop is easy to grip, and easy to dip with the slightly pointed scoop tip. The heaviness feels good in your hand while scooping. Very sturdy. Easy to rinse off and clean. I've read other reviews that suggest not to put in dishwasher, so I am just going to rinse it off right after using it. The rubber grip seems to adhere tightly to the handle, so I don't see any chance of water getting under the rubber grip. It also comes in a decorative box.

I love that this can go in the dishwasher. Super heavy duty and well made. Doesn’t scoop as well on super cold ice cream as one I had in the past that couldn’t go in the dishwasher. Just have to let the ice cream sit for a bit before using.

I have been through so many ice cream scoopers over the years and could never find one that was just right. They're usually the ones that you squeeze and they would do the job but they would never last. My mother-in-law has a very old copper one that doesn't have all the mechanics and whenever we go to her house and have ice cream I always think it's the best type and wished I could find one. So I started searching and since it was old and an antique I couldn't find one like it. So I went to my always go to trusted Amazon. And I'm glad I did because I found this one .I figured it would be a lot better than all the ones that break because of the spring or whatever would go wrong with them. So after reading all the reviews and going through tons of them in my basket to go over again and review myself and it being a little more expensive than I thought I wanted to spend it's was well worth it. It's the best ice cream scoop I've ever used. Very sturdy looks like it will last for years , but not too heavy to handle. It's just perfect. One thing that was very important to me when I was reading the reviews was getting 100% stainless steel. After reading so many reviews of some that I thought were prettier with a cool colored handle or something that I would really like I saw that they were Chrome plated and the Chrome chipped off or become pitted and I definitely didn't want that. That's why I decided to spend a little more than some that I saw for very cheap that were prettier and I'm very very pleased that I ended up with this one. It actually looks like and old retro one they would maybe use in an old timey ice cream parlor. I think that's why I was looking at some of the ones with the Retro colored handles but sometimes that draws us in when were looking for something old-fashioned. But they're usually not made as well as things from the old days when people really cared about the quality of their work. This one is definitely made well. I highly recommended it especially if you're trying to find a good quality one this is is the one. Go for it you won't regret it when you scoop that first scoop!😋

bought them for family members too, they just cut through the hardest frozen ice cream effortlessly. Strong, well built, comfortable grip, after a year there's no sign of damage or rust. perfect.

Bought a few of these now and they are brilliant. If you are sick of trying to scoop very cold ice cream straight from the freezer, this is the tool for you. Superb.

Amazing, solid, so easy to use. I now eat too much icecream because this super easy to use and fill my bowl.

I boiled some water and put it in a metal jug, removed the hard NON-soft-scoop ice cream from the freezer. After leaving the scoop in the hot water for 15 seconds it was put to test on the ice cream. It made no more impression on the stuff than if I had used a cold tablespoon. Yes, it went in about a centimetre, then stopped. Even placing a lot of pressure on it did not work. The scoop itself still felt moderately hot ...and in theory it should have worked. Another 2 repeated attempts fared no better. I was drawn to the beaked shape of the scoop, thinking that it would sink down in and give some decent leverage, at least, even though it may not `ball’. But no, not in this case. My favourite shop-bought ice cream remained stubbornly in it’s 1 litre tub. 10 minutes out on the worktop is usually enough to get it to be more malleable...but I didn’t try this scoop again, out of principle, as it had failed it’s NO THAW claim. If things don’t live up to their claims, they go back! Simplez!

Brilliant design, weighted perfectly, good grippy handle. Only had it a short while so can’t comment on durability of coating yet.

We can now ditch the bent spoon and scoop ice cream without inflicting pain. A quality item - always buy quality. Buy once, not twice: you won't regret it.
