We all love ice cream, right? Sometimes, however, chiseling a scoop out of the carton can be a real chore, leaving you with a bent spoon amd a sore arm. You may be surprised to know that the solution to this problem has been around for a long time; in fact it was back in 1935 that the Zeroll ice cream scoop first worked its magic. The secret is a permanent, safe, defrosting fluid sealed into the handle of each scoop and spade. Beneath the highly-polished surface, this fluid transfers the warmth of your hand all through the tool, allowing it to cut through, scoop and release even the hardest ice cream, instantly. To give the Zeroll tools a head start, you can briefly hold the handle under warm running water.

The Zeroll scoop and spade work like magic with no moving parts to break or wear out. The scoop gives you nice, rounded, fairly small servings; the spade digs out bigger chunks and is great for getting in the corners at the bottom of a carton. Zeroll scoops are in use at ice cream parlors everywhere, and are on display at the Museum of Modern Art in New York. The Zeroll ice cream scoop and ice cream spade will last forever with just a couple of simple cautions: don't put them in the dishwasher (the aluminum will lose its polish) and don't expose them to heat in excess of 140°. Now, enjoy that ice cream!
