Also scoops have a large thermal mass in the handle, in fact a lot of them actuly have heat pack material in the handle, which is why they tell you not to put it in the dishwasher as it could burst. This causes a thin layer of the ice cream touching the scoop to melt, making it fall right off of the scoop instead of having to fiddle around with it.

[@LFOtobot]

​@thehauntedtree My point was that the opening line ("Have you ever wondered why ice cream stores use scoops instead of spoons, like the rest of us?"), taken at face value, is a ridiculous question. Why do businesses use specialized tools, instead of just using whatever they've got lying around at home? Why do they use boxcutters to open boxes, instead of, idk, their keys? Like a normal person?

@logemcdoge4620 It's fine. They're not necessarily wrong, just a bit cynical. The franchise owner certainly wouldn't want us giving away more ice cream than people paid for.

[@peasant502]

Like @gracynspencer5208 said, they also help to melt the ice cream, making scooping easier. If you look at the design of the scoop, it's got a big, thick metal handle, which helps to conduct heat from your hands straight into the ice-cream, allowing you to cut through the ice cream when scooping.

[@kaitlynlin0330]

⁠​⁠@@peasant502isn’t it because there is some kind of liquid in the thick handle that make is conduct heat, and is the reason why you hear swishing sounds when shaking the scoop?

[@peasant502]

@kaitlynlin0330 well, really there are plenty of types of ice cream scoops, and to accomplish heat conduction, some of them are liquid filled. I have no idea about any swishing sound, and to be honest I haven't used an ice cream scoop in a long while, and my background is more in physics than the ice cream industry. I would assume, however, that there are plenty of types of ice cream scoops with plenty of different interior heat-transfer mechanisms. Essentially, it depends on the scoop what it's filled with. I've also seen plastic ones, which seem to me like they would conduct heav very poorly, so I assume the heat conduction is more of an accidental feature than a designed one.

[@LuzNoceda_TheRobloxianJedi]

Another reason is that the heat from the scoopers hand warms up the scoop handle making the ice cream easier to scoop

[@reahnheflen2205]

I thought you were going to say the actual reason they dont use spoons. The third and main reason they dont use spoons is spoons break at the handle much easier. Scoops are much thicker and almost never break. Reducing the need to buy more spoons.

I worked in ice cream for a while and we explicitly never gave empty scoops. We used the big metal scoops because if they were thicker so they stayed hot longer. Between scoops you submerge them in a hot water bath which makes scooping easier and cleans them between flavors.

[@chicky2753]

it’s not only the hot water that helps melt the ice when you scoop but also the liquid that’s in the handle that heats up in your hand with these

[@Narangarath]

People just don't know how you're supposed to use an ice cream scoop. You're supposed to keep scooping and forming the ball of ice cream until it's a perfectly round, somewhat solid ball of ice cream. 4-5 passes minimum, often more depending on how hard the ice cream is. You don't actually _want_ to serve a truly solid ball of ice cream, it's extremely difficult to eat with a spoon out of a bowl that's not chilled to freezing (since the solid ice cream slips around when you try to get through it with a spoon). Forming a somewhat solid ball with several passes breaks the structure enough to easily spoon out of a bowl, even when the ice cream starts to melt where it hits the bowl. You also can't stack truly solid balls (so forget 2 ball cones unless the balls are tiny or the cones huge), nor do they sit nicely side by side in a bowl or a cup for a visually pleasing sundae. While many things are, not _all_ things are done just to screw the customer.

[@AdamVR_01]

With the scoopers they use,heat from your hand transfers to the scoop bit to make it easier to scoop it up

[@Cocomelongurls]

is no one gonna talk about how he said much prettier balls 💀💀💀

[@caloriegem]

I worked at an ice cream store and when I was training, my scoops had to weigh a certain amount. They also had to be tightly packed balls so they looked nice and didn’t fall out of cones. Our scoops had antifreeze in the handles so the ice cream wouldn’t stick as well

[@kritziamelendez7432]

[@normie3229]

I also worked in an ice cream shop but since our manager was really laid back and chill we were kinda just allowed to put as much ice cream in a scoop as we wanted at least as long as it wasn’t completely unreasonable

I can vouch for this. Hiding air in scoops was never the intention where I worked.

[@SpookyFraiser]

Its also because most professional scoops (like the one in the video) have their handles filled with a material that collects the heat from your hands and transfers it throughout the scooper, making the ice cream easier to serve. You can tell by the lil colored cap on the bottom usually

[@altaira_lasair2506]

I also used to work at ice cream & coffee shop, but the hollow center is just not true, the shop I work for had a test to scoop exactly 3oz scoops that would be weighed. If you didn't come in withing a certain tolerance, you wasn't allow to scoop ice cream during rush hour.

I worked at Baskin Robbins when I was 14, as a volunteer for a school program. The first time I rolled a ball, it wasn’t tight. I still remember my first customer, when I handed her that hollow ball, she came back and yelled at me, called me names and bad mouthed the company on my behalf. I remember tears rolling down my face and still trying to smile to her and offering to remake it for her but she wouldn’t give me a chance. After that, they told me to make sure I roll a tight ball and how just one swipe usually won’t give you the solid sphere.

[@nicolesymonds2349]

I worked at a couple different ice cream shoppes and they teach you to drop the first scoop back into the ice cream bucket, and then re-scoop, putting the first-half scoop into the middle of a new scoop... Essentially, you are building a fatter, prettier scoop.

[@nevenrajkaunder9486]

In terms of portion, so it offers more? ✨🌌😂❤️🌌✨

[@TheBestSubmissiveBottom]

Most ice cream scoop handles are usually made with a thermal conducting material on the inside of the handle so that it heats up the scoop part to get a cleaner less choppy scoop as you can see with a spoon

[@ULouOW]

i was trying to look for this comment, but the thermal conducting material is actually the handle itself, it transfers the heat from your hand into the tip of the scoop

[@christopheryanac977]

Was going to say this ^.

[@garethkalum8297]

​​@@ULouOWit's called metal. A thermally conductive material is metal. Ice cream scoops, do contain a liquid inside the handle to aid thermal transfer, that's why its shaped that way.

[@ULouOW]

@garethkalum8297 yes but he worded it as such that it would confuse bystanders into thinking that there is another material on the inside of the handle that takes all the thermal input, when in reality it's a combination of factors that cause it to be good at conducting heat

[@pyrofful]

@@garethkalum8297 we had a scoop growing up that we thought got water trapped in it from doing dishes lolol. I distinctly remember shaking it and hearing/feeling the liquid move.

[@eugenewii]

There were also stored in warm water to scoop and release easier as the handle transferred more heat to the scoop.

[@LISE_NR]

most scoops also have thermally conductive fluid in the handle that directs the heat from your hand into the spoon part, so you don’t have to fight through frozen solid ice cream to get a scoop.

[@Mr.Garbo98]

Also the scoopers have another advantage! They warm the scoop part from the handle so it can glide through the ice cream to get a better scoop.

[@Nikgamingnl]

Yep, due to a liquid in there that is a great conductor

[@stunningroach1765]

I’m pretty sure the scoop also has a liquid in the handle that warms up the ice cream so it’s easier to scoop

The metal of it already does that while using your body temperature

Biggest reason is probably the fact that the scoops are designed for scooping ice cream. They are filled with a liquid that transfers warmth from your hand to the scoop to make it easier to scoop up the cold ice cream. It is why sometimes you can feel/hear liquid inside an ice cream scoop. 🙂

[@secretjameser]

yes

[@dudukous]

Actually it's the metal alone that transfers the heat from your hand and melt the ice cream, *if* there is liquid there, it is just to hold the heat from your hand longer, it is not necessary for an ice cream scoop to work.

Actually that’s an improper way to use the scoop and in ice cream shops they have to have tight balls (aka how ice cream cones look, they don’t have giant holes) From my knowledge the main advantage comes from the handle, the metal ones have a liquid in the handle that transfers heat from your hand to the rest of the scoop which slightly warms it up and therefore is easier to scoop. Plus the shape of it. Also an ice cream scoop is a very popular utensil for people to own, I have one so do many other people in the comments because I don’t want to fight my ice cream and bend a spoon in the process

[@kneel7376]

Asked the same question to my friend who worked in an ice cream parlor, she told me the same thing 😂

[@Mattheosgirlfriend]

Also the handle picks up the heat in your hand and transfers through the scoop to make it so you can easily and efficiently make scoops hope this helps ❤️

[@BonaparteBardithion]

Wouldn't the same thing apply to spoons? Most scoops just have plain metal or sometimes plastic (which is less conductive) handles.

[@Mattheosgirlfriend]

@@BonaparteBardithion not really because when you pick up a spoon you can’t easily just scoop out ice cream sometimes it even bends the spoon

[@BonaparteBardithion]

@@Mattheosgirlfriend Yeah, but that's because spoons usually have much thinner handles. You can also bend them easily by getting them caught in a drawer or even just leaning on them. Frozen ice cream is hard. A plastic rice paddle works as well as an ice cream scoop, minus the shaping ability, and it's less conductive than the average spoon. And dipping all three of them in warm water makes as much difference as the serving utensil itself. Maybe certain scoops are designed to transfer heat, but not the average one.
