For decades I have fought the battle with scooping ice cream. Recently, I purchased the KitchenAid Smooth Glide Scoop and I am here to tell you, it actually works! Scooping ice cream or sherbet just got a whole lot easier for me.
I can't even begin to guess how many spoons I have bent trying to scoop ice cream without letting it thaw on the kitchen counter first. I hate leaving the ice cream out on the counter to thaw for several reasons. For one thing, if I want ice cream, I'm not very patient. I want it right then. Second, I hate having to wipe off the condensation ring the container leaves on my kitchen counter before I can enjoy my dessert. Plus, I hate the "frost" coating on the top of my ice cream that is created when it has to refreeze.
I have tried several ice cream scoops over the years. While they won't bend like a spoon, they have been laborious to use. Sometimes even painful. I simply don't have the gorilla strength required to scoop hardened ice cream with a half moon bowl shaped scooper. However, the KitchenAid Smooth Glide Scoop makes me feel a lot stronger because I can immediately dish up a bowl of ice cream without doing any permanent damage to my silverware, my hand, my wrist, my arm or my shoulder.

KitchenAid Smooth Glide Scoop
KitchenAid Smooth Glide Scoop, BlackCheck PriceIt is all in the design! The handle is thick enough for me to grip without being too wide for me to hold. In the picture, it looks like that is a flat handle, but it is only flat on the top. It is curved underneath and fits perfectly in my hand, allowing me to firmly grip the scoop.
The scoop itself is slightly curved and easily glides through frozen ice cream. I admit, I don't really care if the ice cream has a pretty shape. It doesn't have to be a perfectly shaped ball for me to enjoy devouring it. Obviously, if you plan to serve ice cream on a cone, you would need the old-fashioned half-moon bowl shaped ice cream scoop. Me? I would rather never eat ice cream on a cone again now that I can scoop my ice cream without hurting myself, or someone else.
Oh, and another great feature: It is dishwasher safe and I do, indeed, wash mine in the dishwasher.
I will keep my old bowl shaped ice cream scoop to use with batter for cupcakes, cookies, etc., but for ice cream, I choose the KitchenAid Smooth Glide Ice Cream Scoop!
