An all-purpose scoop, this tool portions ice cream, frozen yogurt, cookie dough, meat balls, rice dishes, and vegetable purées. And it's ideal for forming pretty sherbet balls to fill dessert glasses. Its heavy-duty spring action releases food with a squeeze of the hand by sliding a thin steel band beneath it. The scoop head, 2 inches in diameter, holds 2 tablespoons. The tool measures 8-1/2 inches overall, is made of noncorrosive 18/8 stainless steel polished to a mirror finish, and is dishwasher-safe. --Fred Brack

The Norpro Scoop is made from sturdy 18/10 stainless steel with an easy release handle for right or left hand use. The heavy-duty spring action is perfect for releasing cold ice cream, sticky cookie dough, or mashed potatoes. A great way to make sure all your cookies or meatballs are the same size and cook evenly. The scoop has a 2 Tbsp or 1 ounce capacity.

I have had this for at least 4 years now and i can't even imagine being without it. I bake cookies quite frequently and use this because it saves me time and all the cookies are uniformly the same size. You will get up to 4" cookies with this scooper and it makes great meatballs as well. I don't have any problems cleaning it or using it. I am ordering the smaller one knowing that i will have great success with it. Highly recommend every kitchen who does alot of baking.

This scoop seems of good quality (though I haven't used it yet, I do have the 2 teaspoon scoop by Norpro which I'm happy with), but the scoop holds way MORE than 2 tablespoons -- it's more like 2 1/2 - 3 tablespoons. What is most surprising is that even the tag that comes with the product states clearly that it holds 2 tablespoons -- wrong!! Didn't the manufacturers bother to confirm this "minor" little detail? If you're seeking accuracy, don't buy this product. Also, there is no way that it would be durable enough to scoop ice cream. Stick to scooping soft things like cookie dough and mashed potatoes, and you'll be happy with this product.

I purchase 2 sizes stainless steel scoops. I'm very happy with the purchase and will be using them for years to come. I was also happy with the fast shipping and handling.

I bought this for waffle cones but it must be more than 2 tablespoons as another reviewer reports.

It's not very often I get more than I expect or pay for, but this one exceeds all my expectations! It's smooth and made of nice heavy material to last a long time. It works smoothly and cleans up great.
