I enjoyed this ice cream scoop, until it somehow ended up going through a dishwashing cycle. Yikes! It was forever ruined. The stainless steel had some kind of white coating on it and it never worked properly again! I was so sad. This actually happened twice. I've decided that until my family learns not to put these in the dishwasher, we will stick with ice cream spades.
I love the fact that it warms itself with your body heat to.make ice cream easier to scoop....but I don't like the fact that it didn't have a release button on it to get the ice cream out of it!! Could b improved!!!
