Dripping vanilla started pouring out of the carton. However, this scoop lost major points when its pointed tip cut a hole in the bottom of our ice-cream carton. Its twisted, contoured handle is pleasant in your hand, and the whole thing feels pretty ergonomic. It's ultra-pointed end dug right in to frozen blocks of ice cream. In terms of novelty scoopers, we actually really liked the Twister. The handle was comfy and it created good, even scoops, but, though the handle contains anti-freeze, it couldn't beat the Zeroll's heated handle technology when it came to releasing the ice cream from the scoop. In our re-test, we also tried a new model from Vollrath that has a slightly curved, ergonomic handle. We also tried another novelty scoop called the Twister that has a sharp pointed end and a twisted shape, with extra-sharp edges. Release the scissor-like handle and the pieces come apart, releasing the ice cream. When you squeeze the scissor-like handle, the pieces come together, allowing you to scoop a ball of ice cream. We also tried a scooper from Goodcook with a scoop that's divided in two pieces that fit together like a puzzle. We looked at scoops with mechanisms for releasing the ice cream, like the small levers and squeeze handles in portion scoopers. Other Scoopers We TestedĪs we said above, ice cream scoops come in a wide array of designs. We looked at how ergonomic the scoops were: how easy they were to hold and maneuver. We looked for a good shape in our scoop-meaning that we'd get a nicely rounded, compact ball of ice cream, and that the ice cream would slide easily out of the scooper. We were looking for ice cream scoops with an edge sharp enough to cut into very frozen ice cream. $35 at Amazon What We Looked for and What We Tested If you get particularly tired out when serving up sundaes or you're a design geek, this could be the right scoop for you. It's also $35, which is more than I'd like to pay for an ice cream scoop.
When I put it to the test, I was impressed by how easily the scoop glided through the ice cream with little hand movement-but in the colder cartons, even the ergonomic handle couldn't beat the Zeroll's warming liquid. After we got over the initial sting of the weak wrist insult, we realized their aerospace engineer-led team does have a point-unless you tilt the carton and the scoop simultaneously, you do end up using your wrist and hand strength more than your arm or shoulder. The brand materials shout "You've been scooping ice cream wrong!" and warns about weak wrists prying what must be particularly icy ice cream. The Midnight Scoop, which is made from stainless steel and comes in a box so eerily similar to iPhone packaging we think there could be a copyright infringement case in the works somewhere, is about as extra as an ice cream scoop can get.
