We have owned this Ice Cream Scoop, for almost 2 Years.Not only does it do the job, BETTER than ANY other, We've EVER owned, but it also shows no sign, of the usual 'salt erosion', that comes with the normal, continued use, of ANY OTHER Ice Cream Scoop.Way to go, ZYLISS!I’m am an extremely hard to please person when it comes to what goes in my cupboards and drawers re cooking/baking and presenting. I will look for months for that right piece of equipment. I have indeed been looking for an ice scream scoop for quite a few months having received an ice cream making machine last Xmas (2019). I haven’t been able to find one I liked (yes I know I’m a sad person). With family coming this Xmas I decided to buy one that had good reviews, a reasonable price etc etc. Here on amazon. I’ve looked before, but never quite got round to trying any. Well this has been a great buy. I will also stop my search for the holy grail of scoops!! It’s very sturdy. Handles well. Scoops perfectly. It also looks very good. I’m very pleased with the new addition to my many gadgets (of which being a sucker, I have many). It is the perfect accompaniment to my ice cream maker.Bought this to replace a previous version of the same scoop which we have had for ages. The old one suffered from the "chrome" coating on the metal scoop breaking down quite early on, but it was by far the best scoop we've ever had. Easy to hold, and easy to use to dig even rock-hard ice-cream out of the tub, straight from the freeze. The new one performs just the same, and so far it looks like the "chrome" will last longer, but as it's still early days I've only given it 4 stars for durability.I've had this scoop for a few months now and have to say it looks as good as it did when I first got it. Very well made, nice solid heavy weight feel to it and looks like it will last for a long time. I have had several good quality ice cream scoops which just have not lasted, they either break or the finish deteriorates - it doesn't help that we normally eat Haagen-Dazs ice creams which tend to be very dense and hard to scoop. Highly recommended!Does a good job but more suited to the larger rectangular ice cream tubs than the small round 500ml types so common today - but even there it still works.Its well made and sits easy in the hand. Easy to clean and dishwasher friendly but place the bowl downwards or you will have a water filled bowl to contend with. I recommend you use this with a tub of warm water handy to help it to slip through the confection.I will never struggle with a spoon again! This scoop is easy to hold, feels really solid and just slices through ice cream straight from the freezer. Would have bought it years ago if I’d known. Washed by hand and in the dishwasher. Only downside is that I’m eating more ice cream!
