ZYLISS Right Scoop Gray

Easy to scoop ice cream, even straight out of the freezer. I purposely bought it because it can be put in the dishwasher.

Because the scooper end is flat and not pointed, it’s extremely hard to scoop ice cream that’s frozen solid. It works fine if you’re using it to scoop from a brand new carton. However, I’d look for a different scooper if you’re trying to scoop ice cream that has frozen solid.

Ive know Zyliss as a leading Swiss brand for cookware from when I was a kid growing up there. No doubt, the scoop is expertly engineered: its well balanced and decidedly solid to cut through the hardest ice cream, but the one I was provided was poorly manufactured. After a couple months small blisters and pitting started showing and now, a year on theyve grown to downright holes 2-3 mm (just under 1/8) in diameter. Its clear that the metal was cast too hot (hence the pitting) and an attempt to grind out the pits revealed that the stainless steel the scoop had been marketed as at the time was merely nickel-plated copper! Since the potential for copper oxides and food residue inside the holes represents a health hazard, the scoop has ended up in the Güsel, the Swiss-German word for the trash bin. Tsk, tsk, tsk, what leading Swiss household brands have come to!

This ice cream scoop is the best weve ever used.

Got as a gift for my dad. Seems to work great.

The weight, the scoop, I can put it in the dishwasher. Stupid how an ice cream scoop can create so much joy, but it did.

Great product so easy to use

The shape of the scoop and the handle are excellent. However the plating used on the scoop pits and flakes off after time. Small flakes of metal will inevitably end up in your ice cream. Worse, Zyliss knows full well about this and their answer is that coating is food safe (yes, that was their exact response to me). In addition, the pits can store bit of food and bacteria. These arent particularly expensive, and if you dont mind tossing them out and buying a new one every time they start pitting, these are a great option.

This is the worlds greatest ice cream scoop. I like them so much I took several to Europe on a trip to give to friends and relatives! Of course they love them. This scoop keeps warm enough to cut through almost any ice cream, and it scoops very well. It is very easy to clean, with no moving parts. It is solid and well made, and the colors are fun. We have one here and one in our vacation cabin and they are both lasting well after several years. Zyliss makes some cool products. This might be their best.
