I seem to keep breaking them.......I thought this one would last forever because it was pretty solid and had metal all the way through the middle.....Not so much.........What do you guys use? Do you think I should just leave it out of the freezer for a few min to let it thaw a bit first?

    you want the kind that looks like this.

    no other kind will do.

    DOn't you dip the scoop into a glass of warm water first? That's my suggestion

    This is an important subject, i'm surprised nobody is takingthis seriously.

    I got a kitchen aid one 4 1/2 years ago. It survived me being pregnant with ice cream's baby(seriously, it was july and i was overdue), and has been used at least weekly since then. Nothing flashy, but very sturdy and hasn't fallen apart yet.

    Here's one on amazon.

    Doesn't have to be that brand; just that style

    OK, in this case I will defer to Acg. Have you seen how much ice cream the dude goes through?

    ergonomic joke aside, i was being serious. it's the best ice cream scoop ever. i never ever have to wait for thawing, or soak in water. i just scoop the ice cream into the bowl then spoon it into my face.

    Do you have to scoop it a certain way or can you do it left or right handed? Is this a Wilton?

    I can't believe how serious this convo is right now :p
    I guess I should feel lucky that I don't like ice cream that much!

    I also have this one. I would recommend not digging the scoop into the ice cream, rather running it across the top layer. So scoop the top, don't dig down super deep.

    I have to stay away far far away. If Ice Cream is in the house it will Be Eaten WAY TOO Quickly. It is my only sweet weakness!!

    I get the Weight Watchers frozen yogurts. They are pre-portioned and delicious.

    I put the icecream in the nuker for 20 seconds. Then it doesn't matter what scoop you use.

    The best one is the one that scoops out the most ice cream at one time. LOL.

    I have one from Tupperware and it is the best scoop ever!!! :smile: I have had it for 7 years and it has never failed me. I just wish I had two for when that one is in the dishwasher. LOL
