Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Deluxe Scraper ScoopCustomer Review: I am comparing this to Norpro Ice Cream Spade Summary: 4 Stars
I purchased 3 or 4 of the Norpro 682 Anti-Freeze Ice Cream Spades from Amazon.com last year because of an Internet recommendation from a famous pumpkin carver. (Sorry, I don't remember his name! He has written books on the subject and has a useful website where I found his tip for this ice cream spade. Thank you whoever you are!) The Ice Cream Spade works very well for that job - MUCH better than any typical round metal or plastic ice cream scooper, but this year, after we carved 10 pumpkins, I felt I also needed more of a serrated edge at times to really grab hold of the stringy pumpkin stuff and to take off more of the skin even faster on the wall I'll be carving on -- and, thanks to the reviewer above complaining about high shipping charges from a company that Amazon.com uses -- I looked elsewhere and found this pumpkin scooper with 2 serrated edges by Pumpkin Masters at PartyCity.com. Party City calls it a "Pumpkin Scooper 8 1/4 in." Pumpkin Masters calls it a "Deluxe Scraper Scoop" and says it is "Frightfully Fast"! They are around $6 each (on 11/19/10 they were on sale for only $4 each - and ordering 4 of them will cost you only $7.95 in shipping). I've only just placed the order for 4 of them (I need multiples because I have pumpkin carving parties) so I can't review this Pumpkin Masters scooper yet. I just wanted you to know of other pumpkin scooper options out there. The Norpro 682 Anti-Freeze Ice Cream Spade is very sturdy and works very well on cleaning out Halloween pumpkins (the large handle doesn't hurt your hands like large spoons utensils or tiny orange handled pumpkin carving scoops that come in pattern book kits will). I look forward to trying out my serrated scoopers next Halloween and will give a review about them then.
