Norpro Anti-Freeze 8.5in/21.5cm Silver Ice Cream Spade

Evan Smoak: We used this REGULARLY for the past 12 years. It developed a patina after awhile. It was usually hand washed. I pulled it out of the dishwasher last night, and there was a gray film coming off onto my hands. I threw it out along with the ice cream I had just scooped out 🥺

Phillip Field: The ice cream scoop worked beautifully. We do a lot of ice cream and so we purchased 4. So glad that we did. Would encourage anyone who needs the scoop to cut through the ice cream easily to purchase one (or more). You won't be disappointed.

Taz: Have a little bit of a big hand , this has a good handle on it I can actually grip it and it hasn't bent yet so that's cool.

Granny Gems: This one is difficult to rate, but I read the reviews and decided I could follow the directions to prevent damage because I'm the only one that will be using it and the price point was good for me. Mine came with the end cap, so I knew better than to think there is actual defrosting fluid contained inside of the handle because of the negative reviews left by those who felt it was false advertising. I suspect that it is a language translation that is at fault here, not deliberate misleading of their customers. I have given this large and shiny spade spoon 4 stars overall because it has a good feel to it, looks attractive, and is not difficult for me to use as a senior with arthritis in hands. I also don't have a dishwasher so I hand wash everything and that is not an issue for me. Others may feel differently, so other than that caveat , I can recommend it as a great buy.
Pro: It's exactly the shape I wanted, although it would be even better if it was one solid piece instead of the end cap that serves no purpose at all. It would not be waterproof obviously. It's most likely lighter weight though because it is hollow and not solid metal, so that's both a plus and a minus. It can...

Hyoun Kim: A couple weeks ago, I was in the mood for some ice cream and luckily I had some in my freezer. The bad thing is that it was hard like ice. So like any normal human being, I grabbed one of my Mikasa flatware spoons and attempted to "scoop" out the ice cream. Now mind you this, my Mikasa spoon isn't one of those cheap ones you get from a $20 set from Walmart. I got the set for my wedding and if I remember correctly, it was a $200 flatware set. Not to say they are invincible but as I scooped, I felt the spoon's end flex a little bit because the ice cream was that hard. So instead of continuing to scoop, I immediately stopped because I didn't want to bend the spoon. Bottom line, I had to let my ice cream thaw a little before I got to enjoy any of it.

So that's when I started looking for a real ice cream scoop. Not the kind with the thumb lever that tries to "release" the ice cream (I hated those) but a real scoop that you see at local ice cream shops. I checked Bed Bath & Beyond but all the good ones with brand names were at least $10.99 and up. I didn't want to spend that much on an ice cream scoop.

Looking at Amazon with the following criteria: 4-star and up, under...
