What to Look for When Buying an Ice Cream Scoop It has a non-slip handle and also works well with batter. If you prefer a trigger-style scoop, go for the OXO Good Grips Trigger Ice Cream Scoop ( view at Amazon). The Midnight Scoop Stainless Steel Ice Cream Scoop ( view at Amazon) takes the top spot because of its elegant yet ergonomic design and its sturdy, nearly indestructible construction. Scoop size: 4 ounces | Dimensions: 9.56 x 3.8 x 1.06 inches | Weight: 8.8 ounces | Material: Aluminum, soft-grip handle Reviewers love the large scoop size and how easy it is to grip and use. For easy cleaning, this is dishwasher safe, and it is NSF certified for commercial use. The handle is molded in one piece so it will stay secure, and it has grooves that make it easy to hold onto. This scoop is a size 8, which holds 4 ounces (1/2 cup) but the same style is available in a range of sizes from 6 (5 1/3 ounces) to 40 (4/5 of an ounce) and each has a different colored handle so you can easily tell them apart in a drawer. The side trigger is easy to squeeze, and the wiper inside the scoop sweeps the bowl clean, so you’ll be sure that every cupcake or muffin is the same size and no batter is left behind. Sure, they’re great for portioning ice cream, but they’re also great for portioning batter for muffins and cupcakes and for serving foods like rice or mashed potatoes. Scoops of this style are in use in cafeterias and diners every single day.

May have difficulty with very hard ice cream Scoop size: 2 teaspoons, 1.5 tablespoons, 3 tablespoons | Material: Stainless steel Reviewers rave about how well-designed and well-crafted the scoops are. They come in a box and are nestled into velvet bags, so they’re easy to give as a gift. Made from stainless steel, these are dishwasher-safe for easy cleaning. The trigger for these is incorporated in the handle, so you just squeeze to release the food. At just 2 teaspoons, the smallest scoop might not be used often for ice cream, but you could use it for portioning sauces for your ice cream or for making melon balls, scooping cookie dough, or portioning truffles. You’ll also reach for it for batter for mini cupcakes and muffins and for portioning cookie dough. The medium scoop is 1 1/2 tablespoons, which would make adorable little scoops for kids or for serving sample sizes of multiple flavors. The largest scoop is 3 tablespoons for serving ice cream or dishing batter for cupcakes and muffins. This set of three scoops gives you three different sizes, so you’ll always have the size you need, whether you’re cooking or serving.
