Browse the large range of ice cream scoops online

If you or your family are serious ice cream eaters, you'll want to invest in a high-quality ice cream scoop. These useful kitchen tools make eating ice cream extra satisfying thanks to their ability to quickly form round balls of ice cream and move it out of the tub and into your bowl or cone. From a single scoop to a triple decker, scoopers are essential for serving up beautiful-looking desserts in a flash. Discover the best ice cream scoops to suit your needs at Kitchen Warehouse by trusted brands like Oxo and Avanti.

Types of ice cream scoops available

A good ice cream scoop should have sharp edges to easily cut into hard ice cream and feature a well-rounded head to form neat, round balls. The most common types available include:

• Dipper - A dipper is sturdy and reliable with no fancy features. It has a strong handle and rounded head for forming perfect ice cream balls and lifting them out of the tub. The Avanti Ultra-Grip Ice Cream Scoop is stainless steel and comes with a soft non-slip handle for comfort.

• Mechanical release - A scoop with a mechanical release will let the ice cream fall easily and cleanly out of the scoop. Most mechanical release scoops have a pop-up lever to release the ice cream, such as the Oxo Good Grips Lever Ice Cream Scoop.

• Trigger - A trigger ice cream scoop is similar to the mechanical release. Many trigger scoops have spring-loaded handles that scoop when squeezed and release when let go. The Mondo Professional Trigger Ice Cream Scoop works with ice cream, cookie dough, melon and more. It also has a silicone tapper for knocking out scoops.

• Spade - A spade scoop is flatter and wider. It's made to scoop up soft gelato and sculpt it into mounds, rather than into perfect ball shapes. The Oxo Good Grips Ice Cream Spade looks sleek and stylish with a black non-slip handle.

Size does matter when looking at different ice cream scoops

Don't forget to consider size when shopping for ice cream scoops. A small scoop, such as the Mondo Professional Trigger Ice Cream Scoop # 70 that measures 3.5cm, can also be used to make uniformed melon balls and cookie dough balls. A 5cm scoop is ideal for serving up double and triple scoops of ice cream, while a large ice cream scoop is perfect if you prefer a single big sphere of ice cream nestled into a crunchy waffle cone!

What features to look for in an ice cream scoop

There are some extra features that will make scooping and forming your ice cream even easier:

• Trigger release - Any scoop with a release mechanism will make it super easy to get ice cream out of the spoon. This is particularly handy when dealing with softer or stickier styles of ice cream.

• Soft handles - Most handles will be made from BPA-free plastic or silicone to ensure a comfortable, no-slip grip while scooping.

• Antifreeze - Antifreeze coatings stop the frozen ice cream from sticking to the scoop so that it drops out easily.

Stainless steel ice cream scoops

Stainless steel is one of the best materials to use when crafting an ice cream scoop as it is highly durable, non-toxic and easy to clean. Shop our quality stainless steel ice cream scoops at Kitchen Warehouse, including Kitchen Pro Oslo Ice Cream Scoop and the Oxo Good Grips Trigger Ice Cream Scoops.

Zinc alloy is another excellent material as it is strong and retains heat for smooth cutting. Check out the KitchenAid Soft Touch Ice Cream Scoop for easy scooping and pair it with other items in the Soft Touch range, including can openers and peelers!

Best way to scoop your ice cream

There's three main ways to serve up ice cream:

• Basic scoop - This is your standard ball of ice cream. Scoop in an s-shape down the centre of the tub, then run along the sides.

• Quenelle - To master the professional quenelle, use two spoons to make an oval shape with 3 curved sides.

• Rocher - A rocher is an egg-shaped scoop. Dip the scoop straight down, then scoop it right and left.

FAQs:

What are the different types of scoops?
These kitchen gadgets come in a variety of different designs. The most popular types include:

• Dipper - Dippers are simple, sturdy and will scoop even the hardest ice cream with ease.

• Mechanical release - The mechanical release scoop is great for when you're dealing with sticky ice cream and want it to come out looking neat and round.

• Trigger - Similar to the mechanical release, the trigger scoop features a mechanism that lets the ice cream drop easily out of the scoop into the cone or bowl.

• Paddle - The paddle or spade scoop is flatter and wider. It's ideal for scooping softer-style gelato into cups or cones and sculpting it into a nice shape.

What is the difference between a scoop and a spoon?
An ice cream scoop is much deeper than a spoon with very high edges like a bowl so that it can be used to neatly scoop ice cream out of a tub. While a regular spoon is designed to eat the ice cream, the scoop is used to move the ice cream, form it into a ball and serve it in a cone or dish. Ice cream scoops can also have extra features to make scooping easier, such as release mechanisms and non-slip handles.

How do anti-freeze ice cream scoops work?
An anti-freeze ice cream scoop is covered with a food-safe coating that prevents cold food from sticking to the scoop. This allows the ice-cream to slip easily off the scoop after you have formed it so that you get perfectly round scoops every time that look smooth and presentable.
