Baskin-Robbins Ice Cream Scoop

Btw the secret to making perfectly round ice cream scoops is rinsing the scooper after every scoop. That way the ice cream never gets stuck/freezes in the scoop. Don't fall for the scoops that claim to be "non-stick" or the microwavable ones-- not worth the money.

This is the best ice cream scoop made! Makes a nice round ball of ice cream that easily releases. Handle is easy to hold if you have trouble with carpel tunnel or arthritis. Have tried many types of scoops, but this one is the one that really works. Purchasing this as a "stocking stuffer" for everyone this upcoming holiday season.


The Best Ice Cream Scooper - From the Pros   July 13, 2003

As a former B&R worker, I can attest that this is the same scooper used in the stores, and after years of trying different types of scoopers, I finally found them available for purchase! At the time I worked there, there were 3 sizes - This is the small or "junior" size - perfect for home use. The scooper should be briefly rinsed and tapped dry (a little "tap-tap" on a sponge is best) after each swipe at the ice cream to guarentee perfect scoops, but if you're not in the ice cream business, a sloppy scoop is fun too. Of course the _biggest_ factor is ice cream temperature - not too hard, not too soft.

If this product is in-fact steel, it should be dishwasher safe, although it bears mentioning that the original B&R scoopers were aluminum, and like all aluminum, are not suitable for dishwasher or corrosive chemical cleaning!! For those who have commented about "residue" and pitting, you must care for aluminum products with a good scrubbing, and again, no use of corrosive cleaning techniques such as dishwashers. If you have a "ruined" aluminum scooper, you might try scrubbing it hard with a green scotch-brite pad - this may reveal virgin aluminum, depending on how far gone it is. Care of the scooper is easy - just rinse with water and wipe dry!

THE BEST, properly used it will become the only scooper you use. I work in a restraunt and after breaking about a dozen trigger scoopes in a few months I decided to buy my own and bring it to work. I purchased the Baskin Robbins scoop and I'll never use the ones my job provides again. The complaints I see most on the other reviews refer to the finish, so if you are looking for quality of use get this one. If you are looking for something that looks good buy the cow scoop that makes a "moo" sound when you scoop and leave this one to the professionals. This Scooper isn't made to look good, don't even bother to wash it in the dishwasher, it'll ruin the finish. Rinse with warm water and mild soap and it will stay looking good as the day you bought it.


Best Scooper Around   July 7, 2002
After working for B&R, I tried finding an ice cream scoop that was just as good to no avail. This scooper is sturdy, scoops out rock hard ice cream with a little water, and lasts forever. It is also a great gift idea.
