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

Those are easily the best.

Has anyone used both the pampered chef and tupperware scoops? Which one is better?

Buy a mini freezer, set to appropriate temperature, put ice cream, enjoy ice cream that doesn't feel like concrete.

I don't know if this helps you or or not.

The correct freez ing temperature is key to consistency, as is the proper storage of ice cream and liquid bases. If the ice cream is for a shop or to be held for a period of time, such as for banquet use, blast or flash freezing is ideal. Long favored in France, a blast freezer will drop the temperature of the product to below freezing in minutes thus preventing crystallization. * Before serving, a molded ice cream-based dessert needs to be frozen solid to keep its shape, but must be soft enough to be "forked and spooned" on a plate by the diner. If it's too hard, then one might as well serve an ice-cube. The ideal serving temperature is between 5 to 10 degrees for maximum flavor, while well below zero is best for holding products in the deep freeze.

now, how can so many of you nerds buy into the claim that your hand warms the liquid in the scoop mcausing it to work better. That's absurd.

Once again, has anyone compared the Pampered Chef and Tupperware scoops? Which one melts the ice cream better?

I've never tried the Pampered chef scoop, so I can't compare. However, when my wife 1st told me about the Tupperware scoop for $21 (or whatever it is), I laughed at her and thought she was nuts. Once I tried it, though, I decided it is worth the money. The scoop has a nice weight too it and feels solid. A lot of malls have a kiosk for Tupperware it seems, so maybe yuo can find a local mall so you can check it out?

Hmm, a food related post from a guy named Alton B. Good Eats is a wonderful show. Do whatever Alton says.

I still don't understand the idea behind serving ice cream at the wrong temperature, but I'll ignore that problem. Titanium isn't the answer. Titanium is used when you want light weight. Who cares about the mass of the scoop? Get something think and sturdy instead. Heck, a quality gardening hand-spade should do the trick. The idea isn't to stab the ice cream and then pry it up (the action that I assume you are using to break the scoops). Instead, just cut it out and it'll fall into place.
