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

[StageLeft]

I did mean raise it in that if it's 20 F now and I raised it to something like 27, then the ice cream would not be hyper-cold and rock-hard and would be more complicit in my efforts to have it removed from the tub. But I like hyper cold ice cream. I just like it in my bowl or on a spoon and not in the tub, though if it's only a pint container and I use that as a bowl, things work out pretty well.

Oh, how I like ice cream!

that means your freezer is too cold. ice cream is a good measure of freezer temp. it should be easy to serve, but not half melted.

I grab a normal tablespoon by the edge(not the handle), & use it like a wedge.

Why do you keep it so cold? I love soft ice cream personally.

Maybe keep a pot of boiling water nearby to dip a metal scoop into before each scoop?

Buy better ice cream.

We're not making milk shakes, we're eating ice cream!

Me too and it's bad for my weight unfortunately, yet I still buy some on occasion. Got a 4L tub of Chapman's Butterscotch Ripple a few days ago. It's either this or plain vanilla for me.

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!

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

so its not rock hard?

he states it as if that would be an option to solve his problem....i think he meant lower the temperature..im just giving him a hard time about it

lol.. BooGiMaN...

Welcome back Skoorb.

I feel your pain op. Having broken many scoopers in my life, I too would like to find a titanium or perhaps carbon fiber ice cream scoop. I'll be following this thread to find the ultimate scooper.

You scream...
I scream...
We all scream...
For ice cream!

Wow a Skoorb sighting

Tupperware

Tupperware sells an awesome ice cream scoop. Click the link above, then search ICE CREAM SCOOP for the full details. I was truly amazed at this scoop--the design is such that it seems to help "melt" the ice cream to allow it to scoop smoothly. I have demonstrated the abilities to people by putting an ice cube in it--you can watch the ice cube begin to melt as soon as you put it in the scoop. Tupperware products are high quality, and I truly think that Ice Cream Scoop is one of the coolest things Tupperware sells.



DISCLAIMER: My wife is a Tupperware consultant, so the link above will link to her online site. If you choose to buy any Tupperware product using that link, she will get sales credit for your purchase.

agreed.

We have a Farberware ice cream spade. If your ice cream doesn't have to be in a little ball it work better than a scoop IMHO.

Hey guys, been away a while....just wanted to call some attention to myself. Also, I've been working out and am totally ripped now (go on...just ask for pics...I dare you) and broke an ice cream scoop so, based on that experience, I assume no ice cream scoop known to man can handle the extreme exertion my forearms and wrist can rend upon it except maybe one of those titanium NASA ones.

Thanks!

You're going to want to nix the scoop and proceed to one of those flatter shovel type scoops they use at places like Coldstone. More ergonomical.

 

[altonb1]

So...did you settle on a scoop?

check out the pampered chef catalog.

THey have some that use the warmth fro your hand to warm up the scoop as well. I've never broken an ice cream scoop though.

Like this one.

Cool.

Yeah, my spade works really well, I don't think I could ever break it.

Here ya Go!

We've had our Schwan's ice cream spade for close to 10 years.

 

[Evadman]

Hey, who let you back in I'll grant your post 50 Grasshopper points, but that's all. On topic: I have a stainless steel one from baskin' robbins. Love it. Never even come close to breaking it, and I have used it as a hammer to hit things in the kitchen a few times beause my toolbox is nowhere near the kitchen.

 

[oogabooga]

I used to work at Coldstone creamery. Our ice cream was relatively soft (not hyper freezer cold). We were using spades... some of them had a liquid inside, I don't think it was anti-freeze but not just water? I'm not 100% sure.

Anyway - Point is, if you're going to be digging into rock hard ice cream and using pure strength to muscle through it you'll break almost anything you use.

One thing I will say is you should at least have a bowl of hot water, and dip the scoop/spade/etc, That's one thing Coldstone does to help maintain their spade longevity. Yet spades still broke, so *shrugs*.
