"Inaccurate"
This was sold as a two tablespoon scoop. It is not. It is a 3 tablespoon scoop.

"Sticky Operation"
The scoop has a nice hefty feel and the finish is good but the operation of the lever is poor. It seems to stick making it difficult to release the dough.

"Great cookie scoop!"
This is a perfect cookie scoop. I like to make slightly larger cookies, and this scoop gets the cookie dough out perfectly every time. Because the cookies are larger, it is a good idea to flatten each blob of dough slightly before baking. (as I did when I worked in a bakery) I have not used this scoop for anything else, because I only bought it for cookies. It does not look like it would work that great for ice cream, but I don't know. I love making cookies with it!!!

"Not good for ice cream"
I notice this item is not billed as an ice cream scoop. Odd since it is the classic ice cream scoop design. It's probably fine for cookie dough or even sherbet that is softer than ice cream, but for ice cream it is not sturdy enough.

The all metal construction seems like it would be better than other scoops of this design that use plastic gears, but unfortunately under heavy use even these metal gears slip and the scoop fails.

The problem is that when you really have some tough ice cream, when you squeeze the handle to activate the scraper that will release the cream from the scoop, the resistance of the cream causes you to have to squeeze hard. When you squeeze hard enough, the rack of teeth gives a little bit against the brace that holds the rack against the gear, and the rack slips. Once that happens, the gears lose their synchronization and then you need to repair the scoop. Despite not being sturdy enough to handle the ice cream, it is plenty sturdy enough to resist being repaired. It's difficult, and then it just fails again anyway.

"Keeps breaking"
I find that if you have hard ice cream to scoop the more this ice cream scooper breaks. Squeezing this hard sometimes pushes it out of it's gears and it is a pain to get it back on line.
More of a headache than useful..

What our customer's say!

"COOKIE SCOOPER", I have had this for at least 4 years now and i can't even imagine being without it. I bake cookies quite frequently and use this because it saves me time and all the cookies are uniformly the same size. You will get up to 4" cookies with this scooper and it makes great meatballs as well. I don't have any problems cleaning it or using it. I am ordering the smaller one knowing that i will have great success with it. Highly recommend every kitchen who does alot of baking.

"NOT 2 tablespoon scoop!", This scoop seems of good quality (though I haven't used it yet, I do have the 2 teaspoon scoop by Norpro which I'm happy with), but the scoop holds way MORE than 2 tablespoons -- it's more like 2 1/2 - 3 tablespoons. What is most surprising is that even the tag that comes with the product states clearly that it holds 2 tablespoons -- wrong!! Didn't the manufacturers bother to confirm this "minor" little detail? If you're seeking accuracy, don't buy this product. Also, there is no way that it would be durable enough to scoop ice cream. Stick to scooping soft things like cookie dough and mashed potatoes, and you'll be happy with this product.

"Good quality product", I purchase 2 sizes stainless steel scoops. I'm very happy with the purchase and will be using them for years to come. I was also happy with the fast shipping and handling.

"$9.59 for batter portions", I bought this for waffle cones but it must be more than 2 tablespoons as another reviewer reports.

"Wonderful product!", It's not very often I get more than I expect or pay for, but this one exceeds all my expectations! It's smooth and made of nice heavy material to last a long time. It works smoothly and cleans up great.

"Painful", It may work O.K. for melons, but the handle is extremely uncomfortable and ackward to grip when attempting to scoop ice cream. In addition, the shape of the scoop bowl makes it difficult to get a full scoop of ice cream.

"Add this to your gadget drawer!", Don't have this yet? What are you waiting for? This is a must for any cookie baker! You'll get perfectly round cookies everytime, and without getting your hands in the dough (unless you like to taste your creations :). It's far more efficient that the old two spoon method. You'll get those cookie sheets in the oven much more quickly! This one is a good size for making chocolate chip cookies. I use the smaller one when I'm making cookies for the kids or making peanut butter balls/chocolates ... This is a great gadget to add to your drawer. Highly recommended from a frequent cookie baker.

"You can use this for many things", I can't say enough about how handy these are. I love my cookie scoop. This one is very sturdy and can take heavy use. One of the benefits of making a batch of cookies with this is that they all come out the uniform size. Uniform size helps in baking evenly and also they just look better once they start out from the same size and shape. They recommend scooping up ice cream for this, but I like the 2 tablespoon size to use when I put muffin batter into a tin, there is much less clean up!

"Definitely in my "Top Ten List" of Inspired Kitchen Gadgets!", Finally, an ice cream scoop that gets the ice cream out of its container AND then out of the scoop into the dish. Sounds like a no-brainer, right? Should be -- but this is the first scoop design I've ever used that managed both with equal ease. Most of the old-fashioned ones had a release mechanism that got the ice cream into the dish pretty well, but needed tons of hot water and the strength of 10 men and a boy to get the goodie out of its native container. More recent versions have made the container-to-scoop process less of a herculean task, but need the assistance of finger or other appendage to make it the rest of the way to the bowl.

This delightful object has solved both problems. In addition, it's a God-send for baking cookies. I operate a virtual cookie factory every Christmas and have tried many techniques to speed the dough-to-baking pan transfer. Last year, I saw this scoop and its smaller (2 teaspoon) sibling at a kitchen supply place and purchased both. I was able to bang through all my drop cookies in record time -- hurrah!

Whether ice cream or cookie baking is your passion, I can't think of a better way to spend 10 bucks!

Enjoy!
