Ice Cream Scooper

For the boring person, an ice cream scooper is only used to serve ice cream. Maybe they will think outside the ice cream carton and dole out a little bit of frozen yogurt with it, but for those who have a little bit of adventurous spirit and some inventive vision, that little kitchen gadget can become so much more.

The Various Options for the Lowly Ice Cream Scooper

There are dozens of types of ice cream scoopers including plastic ones, silicone and metal scoopers. For the person who is apparently too weak or unwilling to scoop through rock hard ice cream, there are electric ones that use a little bit of heat to cut and scoop at the same time. You can also choose to use the type that have a little lever to release the ice cream into the dish or on top of the cone or one that does not have a lever at all.

And to further complicate your choices, there are several different sizes that you will see, from a smaller scoop that might be perfect for garnishes and some decorating tasks to the larger scoops that are just perfect for the biggest sundaes or splits.

Moving Beyond Ice Cream with Your Ice Cream Scooper

There is no rule that says that you can only scoop ice cream with your scooper. In fact, you are welcome to scoop anything that you would like to, as long as you are not going to snap the scoop in the process. For instance, you might scoop other foods with similar textures into serving dishes for a party with your scooper- making a nice, rounded presentation. You can use the scooper to serve soft foods such as mashed potatoes just like at a diner. (For the most authentic look, you can scoop the mashed potatoes onto the plate and make a small indentation in the center, filling that well with gravy.)

The smaller scoops can be used to scoop butter onto a plate for serving.

Out of the Kitchen with a Worn Out Ice Cream Scooper

Once a scooper has reached the end of its ice cream serving life, you can use it for other jobs as well. For instance, you can use it in your garden to dig small holes for seedlings. The kids can use it to make mud balls or can dig in the sand box with it. You can even use it to serve cat or dog food to your pets so that you have better control of their serving size. You can tell your family how many scoops of the ice cream scooper each pet should have and then know how much they are eating each day.
