Ice cream scoop with soft grip

Ice cream scoop

Did you know that the average person eats almost 8 liters of ice cream per year? The most popular ice cream flavor? That's right: chocolate ice cream! We're particularly pleased about this, of course, because we also love cold chocolate ice cream in summer. You've probably already made a delicious ice cream with your ice cream maker and put it in the freezer. Now all you need to do is enjoy it with the whole family! Unfortunately, you can't portion the ice cream perfectly with a conventional spoon. The scoop doesn't look nice and you keep slipping off the thin spoon handle. The ice cream scoop helps you to portion your homemade ice cream into perfect scoops with little effort. This ice cream or sorbet scoop is perfect for right- and left-handed users. The stainless steel scoop is food-safe, rust-proof and equipped with a soft-grip handle. 

Not all ice cream scoops are the same

With ice cream scoop portioners, a distinction is made between the tong portioner, the lever portioner and the ice cream dipper, also known as the classic ice cream scoop. This model is a classic tong scoop. Italian gelato is traditionally scooped onto the cone with a scraper. Some Italians say: Don't trust an Italian ice cream parlor with an ice cream scoop. Nevertheless, the ice cream scoop is also popular in ice cream parlors, as it produces even, beautiful scoops. You eat with your eyes! 

The tong portioner is characterized by its tong-shaped handle. The handle of the portioner is fitted with a spring. There is a mini scraper inside the spoon. This ensures that the ice cream is scraped out of the spoon. This is done by the scraper moving along the inside wall of the spoon as soon as you squeeze the handle. This allows you to remove the scoop of ice cream perfectly from the spoon. This ice cream scoop is also equipped with a soft grip. The grip provides a better hold and prevents slipping on the spoon handle. The wide handle is very helpful as the scoop cannot roll away when you put it down, unlike conventional ice cream scoops. The tong scoop is the most popular and therefore the most widely used ice cream scoop.

How to make perfectly portioned scoops of ice cream

Once ready, your homemade ice cream should be placed in the freezer for about 2 hours. This makes the ice cream nice and firm. The ice cream can become really hard. We therefore recommend that you leave the ice cream mixture to stand at room temperature for 1 minute before portioning it. Take a medium bowl and fill it with warm water. Before using the stainless steel ice cream scoop, you should briefly rinse the tongs scoop. Dip the ice cream scoop into the warm water next to the ice cream. The warm water ensures that the scoop is easier to release from the spoon. To portion really nice scoops, place the spoon on the edge of the ice cream container. Then dig a little into the ice cream mixture and pull the ice cream scoop towards you. The curvature of the spoon causes the ice cream to curl inside the scoop and form a nice spherical shape. Lift the ice cream over to the bowl and turn the spoon over. If the scoop has not already fallen out, squeeze the handle. By now at the latest, the scoop should have landed perfectly in your ice cream bowl. Before you start the second scoop, you should dip the tong scoop back into the warm water. 

A portioner that can be used for more than just ice cream

The ice cream scoop can also be used to portion other batters. A ball of herb butter looks particularly good next to grilled food. You can also portion mousses for starters, main courses or desserts and simply remove them from the spoon. The portioner can of course also be used for meatballs or meatballs. The portioner allows you to portion the minced meat precisely. This is important so that the meatballs can all be fried evenly later on. You can also use the portioner to make fruit salad more attractive. The tongs portioner can be used to hollow out melons, kiwis or other fruit into balls. The possibilities are incredibly varied. Whether it's frozen homemade ice cream, mousses or savory dishes, this portioner helps with portioning dishes. This will make the presentation on your plate even more perfect.
