Zeroll #12 3 oz. Blue End Cap Aluminum Zerolon Ice Cream Scoop

This is a scraper type, not a digger. If you are young with strong hands, it is probably great. I, however, am old with arthritis in my hands, it did not work for me at all. I splurged on a Midnight scoop, it was the answer for me.

This is my second time purchasing this as someone put it in the dishwasher and you can't do that. we had one of these growing up at home and its always been my favorite ice cream scoop .

Wow nice

This scoop cuts through frozen ice cream easily and delivers a perfect looking serving on a cone or in a bowl.

I was indeed stoked to find there was a product out there that seemed to permit perfect scoops of ice cream with the frozen tundra that comes right out of the freezer! What a boon to me, a take-home Cold Stone regular... not only that, but the science behind it was sound and interesting. Did I mention it would also let me scoop hard ice cream?Got it, and tested it immediately on a tub that was right out of the freezer and solid. Followed instructions to the letter...Unfortunately, it wasn't that impressive. It's not magic. It just allows the scoop business end to glide through the upper 1/2" or so of hard ice cream a bit faster than a normal scoop. You can feel the cold seep into the freon in the handle as the scoop makes its way through the ice cream, which is neat. But my hand heat, at the recommended spot in the recommended way, doesn't make scooping magic as I thought it might.Perhaps with a few minutes air time, good ice cream will soften enough to allow carte blanche scooping, in real spherical scoops. With Cold Stone it takes only about a minute or so in 80 degF weather (I'm in Hawaii) to be soft enough for this Zeroll to make its perfect-shape 3" orbs with. But it does NOT, repeat, does NOT let you glide through hard ice cream as effortlessly as you think. I'm a pretty big guy, and I have to work the Zeroll to get a scoop, just a little less than if I'd used a normal scoop, and a lot more than if I'd waited 2 mins. :/Still, nice quality. I find a short dab with warm water in the scoop, allows it to work better (do NOT use hot water for too long, or the scoop can spew freon liquid all over, from what I've read about dishwasher incidents here).Pros: Little less effort with rock-hard ice cream. Nice build quality.Cons: Not the miracle product you may think it is, but it does what claims -- reduces effort. A little.Conclusion: I wouldn't buy one again at its price point. But with its quality, won't need another one for a long time either. :)

I was looking for the best possible ice cream scoop by searching on line & reading reviews. Did a top 10 ice cream scoop and after all my searching was completed I came up w/ buying this one!Was my research worthwhile? YESSSSSS!!!!This is hands down the BEST ice cream scoop around. When I first got it out of the box I was surprised, the surface on inside the scoop is like a brushed metal? I thought I made a mistake & this won’t work any better than the others we’ve had in the past, it looks just like the others. Now to put it to the test! Brought out fresh outta the freezer, cold hard ice cream to the touch. I scooped out my first perfectly formed scoop & it dropped right into the bowl no resistance or ice cream remnants on the scoop. So far so good, scoop #2, identical to the first scoop. Now, scoop number 3 (this is where I usually begin to see ice cream sticking to the scoop, not even a little, scoop 4 & 5 all perfect scoops! I could have kept going and pretty sure I’d get same results, but I still have to look after my girlish figure (that’s a joke, I’m a guy). Great results, read something that the heat from your hand warms the scoop but I’m really not sure if that’s it or not. Bottom line is I will guarantee this has to be best ICE CREAM scooper on the market! I wouldn’t waste any more time looking after you’ve read this review!#ISHOULDGETPAIDFORAREVIEWLIKETHIS#ORATLEASTAFREESCOOPER

We loved our very old Zeroll ice cream scoop but unfortunately our son put it in the dishwasher and ruined it. We bought this as a replacement and although not as nice a fit-in-the-hand scoop as our old one was, it works nicely so far. I was very spoiled by our old one but I’m sure it will just take a little more time to wear it in. Hand wash- no dishwasher! We recommend it.

This is a beautiful and considered design that is timeless and enjoyable. Innovative warming feature is hard to discern if it actually works... I think you have to be a pro scooper scooping lots of ice cream to notice this feature kicking in, but I love the idea. The scoop shape does the job nicely with no strain on your wrist. Happy Sundae!

As it should be, it's made of polished aluminium so i melts hard ice-cream easy and makes perfect round balls. Because it is made of aluminium, don't put it in the dishwasher! Only wash by hand with warm water. If some one complain about it getting a bad colour and a matt surface, they put it in the dishwasher. Don't do that, it will kill the aluminium. The body is solid aluminium but the handle is not solid, that's the only thing I can "complain" about. I'm very happy with it and don't understand why I spent so much money on bad scoops before I got this one. Its worth the money!

Great tool for crafting perfect ice cream balls, and they fall off the scooper easily without having to constantly wet or wash the scooper. Great investment.

Excellent, just Excellent.Works as advertised for unlimited amount of scoops, easily keeps scooping through hardened ice cream.

I wanted an ice cream scoop that would melt the ice cream using the heat of my hand. This brand is the type that I know does this.

Fantastic scoop even in solid ice cream and the ball of ice cream just falls out without having to use another spoon to scrape it out of the scoop. Not dishwasher safe, but just rinse it off straight away with hot water, dry it and pop away in the draw.
