My Story
Today I was at the grocery store looking for ice cream scoopers.
First of all, I had trouble finding them.
It turns out they were hanging on the handles of the ice cream section; who would have thought? (I already had ice cream, so I didn’t even think to look there!)
Now, here’s the rub. There are two kinds of ice cream scoopers. Ones without the little button thing you press to release the ice cream, and one with. The one without was a little less expensive.
Is that thing really necessary? I thought. After all, my dad, who makes a vanilla milkshake every night before bed, just uses a spoon.
So I opted for the less expensive version without the button and release.
Big mistake!
While scooping the ice cream doesn’t matter what ice cream scooper you have, releasing it is a whole different story. If you’re making milkshakes like my dad or scooping ice cream into a bowl, you can use a spoon.
But if you’re using a cone… that’s a different story!
You see, the less expensive ice cream scooper I purchased without the release thing… well, it doesn’t release the ice cream (obviously!).
I had to scrape the scooper on top of the cone, which broke the top and made my ice cream microphone look very damaged.
No pop star is going to be using a damaged microphone! (They probably aren’t eating ice cream either, but I digress)…
So I had to go back to the store and purchase another ice cream scooper, this one with the release valve (what do you even call it??). If you know, please comment below!
So below, to save you all the trouble I had to go through, are the best ice cream scoopers… with a release!
