One issue with ice cream scoops is that they're too large for other culinary uses like scooping cookie dough or melon balls for your cocktails.

It should last a lifetime if it’s hand-washed as directed. Best of all, this is one solid piece, so there's no danger of parts breaking or loosening over time. That ease of scooping hard ice cream, a sleek and balanced design, and perfectly sized servings put this scoop at the top of the list.
