Stainless Steel Ice Cream Scooper with Trigger Release - Big Volume, Old Fashion Style, Nostalgic Scoop for Mashed Potatoes - Non Stick

I was so excited to receive this and put it to use immediately. It works so well and makes scooping ice cream so much easier! The scooper is sturdy and have no doubt it will withstand the test of time. Don’t second guess and just purchase this! You will not be disappointed!

This is a awesome "thriftys" ice-cream scoop for $15. Sturdy steel construction make thrifty ice-cream cones at home.

A bit cheaper than the ones original used at Thrifty's back in the 70's

Almost like the Thrifty ice cream scooper. Kids love it!

I've always wanted to try one of these. I work in place that sells a lot of ice cream and everyone hates making them because the ice cream is hard to scoop out. Just push down and twist. It's a game changer. No matter how hard the ice cream is, it takes the scooping time down by half and the portion is perfect. I bought for myself at home but had to share it with my job. We will never use anything else now.

This is a really cool scooper and I really wish it worked as well as the overall idea and nostalgia behind it (totally like Thrifty's!). I'm sure it would with better in a large bucket of ice cream, but in those smaller cartons, it's harder to get it to scoop. If you heat the scooper, it slides right in, but it's still hard to get it to scoop because when you pull up it then just slides out without ice cream. You have to kinda scoop sideways to get a scoop out. Which is why I can see it working well in a giant container of ice cream, like those giant Thrifty's ice cream drums, but not so much in the smaller containers you generally get at the store. My husband was over it after trying to scoop a couple of times, but I haven't given up hope of finding a giant ice cream drum and making enough room in the freezer to use this scooper more regularly and without issue. All in all, don't throw out your old, small scooper just yet, even if you do decide to buy this one.

Love the ice cream scoop

A really good ice cream scoop heavy duty will last a life time

Neither of us could get it to work, could not push it down because we buy 2 litre tubs. I did not think about that when I was looking.
