The ice cream scoops are made of aluminum alloy and feature an antifreeze coating to ensure they will not bend, crack, or discolor. The handle is designed for comfortable and effortless handling, especially for those with wrist sensitivity or carpal tunnel concerns. The scoop head has a spear-like shape that easily cuts through hard ice cream. This ice cream scoop is not only ideal for ice cream but also useful for baking cookies, portioning watermelons, fruit baskets, mashed potatoes, cookie dough, meatballs, melons, fruit balls, and more. To clean, rinse under water and clean thoroughly beneath the lever by turning it over. Do not place in the dishwasher or expose to water above 60C. The special aluminum alloy construction ensures durability and a non-stick surface, allowing ice cream to release easily.
