It’s more versatile than you might think. The ergonomically-designed CUTCO Ice Cream Scoop provides generous portions and features a universal slip-resistant Santoprene® handle that’s comfortable for hands of all sizes. Other highlights include an ultra-thin edge scoop to tackle the hardest of ice creams, a pointed tip to dig deep into the corners for every last bit of ice cream and a unique resting ledge that elevates the scoop off countertops. Here are some scoopable tips from the CUTCO Cutlery Culinary Advisory Board: Aside from ice cream and sherbets, I like to scoop out attractive plate presentations with perfect mounds of side dishes like stuffing, rice or cole slaw. It’s also a great portion control tool for making hamburgers, scooping cookie dough or layering berries for strawberry shortcake.
