Looking for an unbreakable ice cream scoop (maybe titanium).

So f**king sick of breaking ice cream scoops. I've never found one that can withstand the raw strength that I put through it in the face of hyper-cold ice cream. I can find nowhere on the net that sells titanium ice cream scoops or otherwise has a guarantee that their product will not break when used on ice cream.

Has anyone got a link or something? I'd pay $20 if I could be sure it would be the last ice cream scoop I have to buy. More times than not I have to cut my ice cream with a buck knife, and no, I'm not interested in raising the temp of my freezer.

Thanks!

Havnt you ever seen the solid metal ones like they use in shops? with antifreeze in the handle?

check out the pampered chef catalog.

Try a Pampered Chef or Kitchen Aid. I own both and they are heavy duty.

why would you raise the temperature of your freezer if your ice cream is already rock hard and hyper-cold as you put it

Yeah, this post doesn't make any sense. He uses terms like hyper-cold, which is the wrong temperature to have ice cream. Also, what sort of cheapskate scoops are you using that break *so often* that you have to resort to titanium?

Kitchen aid, the thing is so thick you could probably break out of prison with one.

1. Run scoop under hot water for a few seconds prior to use.
2. Let the scoop do the work, not your hyperstrength.

Tradeoff: 7-10 seconds more time to serve ice cream, vs. a happier home and a lifetime of savings by not having to replace your scoop. Ever.

It's the principal of it. That is just a long drawn out process. I'll be damned if a piece of inert frozen dairy is going to make me spend precious seconds of a commercial playing with hot water and what not. Nae, I'd rather spend money and research a proper counter-measure.

Thanks for all the replies! I got me some buyin' to do!
