BALCIIce Cream Scoop Black 7539892429

I boiled some water and put it in a metal jug, removed the hard NON-soft-scoop ice cream from the freezer. After leaving the scoop in the hot water for 15 seconds it was put to test on the ice cream. It made no more impression on the stuff than if I had used a cold tablespoon. Yes, it went in about a centimetre, then stopped. Even placing a lot of pressure on it did not work. The scoop itself still felt moderately hot ...and in theory it should have worked. Another 2 repeated attempts fared no better. I was drawn to the beaked shape of the scoop, thinking that it would sink down in and give some decent leverage, at least, even though it may not `ball’. But no, not in this case. My favourite shop-bought ice cream remained stubbornly in it’s 1 litre tub. 10 minutes out on the worktop is usually enough to get it to be more malleable...but I didn’t try this scoop again, out of principle, as it had failed it’s NO THAW claim. If things don’t live up to their claims, they go back! Simplez!

Previous scoops have failed dismally, bending or non-dishwasher proof. We hope and expect this to be an exception.

We can now ditch the bent spoon and scoop ice cream without inflicting pain. A quality item - always buy quality. Buy once, not twice: you won't regret it.

Brilliant design, weighted perfectly, good grippy handle. Only had it a short while so can’t comment on durability of coating yet.

I ordered 2 pcs. one for myself, one as a gift. This top-quality scoop is a must-have if you love ice cream. Sturdy stainless steel construction, ergonomic handle, the weight is just right, the scoop is well balanced. I would buy it again.
