Original Ice Cream Scoop with Liquid-Filled Handle
Last verified by the Lifetime Picks Editorial Team
Why we picked it
Glycol-filled handle conducts hand heat to soften the scoop
The Zeroll Original is the cast aluminum ice cream scoop with a glycol filled handle that's been in continuous production in Florida since 1935. The handle conducts hand heat into the scoop bowl, which is why the Zeroll glides through rock hard freezer ice cream where steel scoops bounce off, no need to run under hot water first. The same scoop sits on the counter at every old school ice cream parlor in America. r/BuyItForLife and r/IceCream threads name check Zeroll specifically; the brand replaces broken handle seals for free indefinitely, and the original 1935 design has been functionally unchanged for 90 years. Hand wash only because the dishwasher will eventually compromise the handle seal.
