Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of OXO Good Grips Beak Ice Cream Scoop - Polished
Customer Review: Updated version without NS coating is one of the best scoops on the market!
Summary: 5 Stars
I did not buy this from Amazon, but I had used the original OXO i-series scoop for years, but after reading the reviews here I realized how easily the non-stick coating finish was coming off (you could just scratch it off with your fingernail, gross). Replaced it with the updated version that is made from polished aluminum without the coating, and I'm happy as a clam! The design of this scoop is superb! The point and thin edges of the scoop cuts into hard ice cream like butter, and the nice heft of the scoop helps there as well. The rubberized handle is super comfy, and the release mechanism is effective and durable (unlike those trigger scoops with thin metal piece that slides under the ice cream). Thick, sturdy neck assures that it will not bend or snap off between the handle and the head.
Even though they removed the non-stick coating, ice cream usually does not stick to the scoop, and if it needs a little help, the trigger is there to eject the ice cream from the scoop. Scoop clean up is pretty easily, but note that it is hand wash only, and those words are etched onto the back of the scoop to remind you. For some ice creams with cookie/cake/brownie ingredients, make sure you also clean behind the release plate with a brush to make sure nothing gets stuck there. Don't bother with the other OXO ice cream scoop models, this one (updated version) is the best!
Update Aug 22, 2010: I had contacted OXO to clarify the material of the scoop, and they informed me it is polished aluminum not steel, and I have corrected my review accordingly. A couple quick tests also seems to confirm this. However, my rating still remains at 5 stars, as while I would stay away from aluminum containers and cookware that would contact food longer and/or in combination with heat, aluminum utensils are confirmed as safe from multiple sources.
Description of OXO Good Grips Beak Ice Cream Scoop - Polished
Hard packed ice cream has met its match with the OXO GOOD GRIPS i-Series Ice Cream Scoop. The unique aluminum beak shape has a pointed tip to break into hard ice cream, curved side edges to roll perfectly round scoops and large capacity to satisfy big appetites. While this scoop has nonstick coating for easy release, for extra stick ice cream try the ejector button and watch ice cream glide off the scoop and into your bowl. Even soft ice cream and yogurt ends up in your bowl, no sticking to the scoop. The scoop's flat back is great for both round and square ice cream containers. Enjoy the contoured non-slip handle to cushion your hand as your scoop.The i-series is Oxo's latest foray into intelligent product design. This i-series ice-cream scoop breaks through the hard surface of freezer-cold ice cream with its aluminum head that's sculpted into a quasi-egg shape. A thin tip at the top pierces hard ice-cream as it uses its curved edges to gather perfectly rounded servings, then releases them into a bowl with a touch of a button. Other features include a nonstick coating that quickly and easily releases all forms of ice cream and frozen yogurt, including soft serve, and a relatively flat back surface for clearing out square containers as well as round. In addition, the scoop includes a comfortable, ergonomically sound nonslip handle with a hanging hole, as do all other Good Grips products. The scoop is also dishwasher-safe for easy cleaning. --Rivers Janssen
