Is this good for an ice cream scoop?

Yes. I use it for ice cream, watermelon and cantaloupe. I wouldn't hesitate to buy it again.

It's a smaller sized scoop. So, if you're into smaller scoops it might work. While it feels sturdy, I wonder how it would stand up to hard ice cream.

Yes. It comes with a scoop that has a tamper on the other end. It works well enough.

I'd agree with the previous answer. If they're just being used for oatmeal, cereal or stirring coffee, I think it'd be fine to use them. Scooping frozen ice cream from a container, however, wouldn't work. Hope this helps give you a point of reference.

I suppose it could, but I wouldn't do it. It would just make the ice cream more difficult to scoop out of the container, especially since you're not supposed to use metal utensils to scoop it out because it will damage the container.

I only use it to make English mince pies. I don't think it would make a good ice cream topping. Too sweet!

No, I have used it for whipping cream, mashed potatoes, guacamole and drinks with ice.!

This is a terrific scoop, well made but......it won't last very long if used on hard ice cream.Your best bet for a ice cream scoop is one without moving parts and very solid.

Unfortunately, the chrome finish on ours has pitted BUT we have washed it in the dishwasher and typically, you don't want to wash ice cream scoops in a dishwasher. Otherwise, this is the best scoop I've ever found.

I USE IT FOR FROZEN YOGURT AND IT IS A NICE SIZE SCOOP. I HAD 1 For 15 years and it stop working right. I wanted another and am very happy with it. I cannot tell how many ounces or tbs it holds.

Yes! The whisk attachment is splendid for whipping cream. Would recommend a deep bowl though. I use these steel ones from Cuisinart I found on Amazon too.

Yes, but you may find it difficult to get the hard ice cream out of the bucket. If transfer to something else first, a bowl maybe, to firm up.

ABSOLUTELY yes! The ridge on the lid is too short to allow any traction to be applied when twisting open. I have learned to put a piece of plastic wrap over the ice cream BEFORE I put in the lid, and most of the time this prevents the lid from freezing to the container and being difficult to open.

Yes, it works great for whipped cream especially since the bowl is a smaller size, you don't need to make a huge batch.

Probably not. The pointed end of the scoop makes rolling up an ice cream ball easier, but this would not work with sticky dough. I use 2 tablespoons.

That depends completely on the recipe you use -- not the machine. Scoop able ice cream requires high fat content, or alcohol, or an additive like corn starch ( you can use confectioner's sugar instead of granulated sugar). You have to fool around with recipes to find the ones that work in your freezer.

I would say no. I use old ice cream buckets for that. I don't think they are made for the freezer.
