This is the original, spring action ice cream scoop. This ice cream scoop will get the job done well and is tough enough to last forever. We have tried several spring-type ice cream scoops. This is a very good quality, spring action type ice cream scoop, the best that we have found. * Heavy duty construction * 18/10 stainless steel * Heavy duty spring * Medium scoop--makes 50 scoops per quart * The perfect size for a cookie dropper This is a good scoop. You won't go wrong with this scoop. Baker's note: This scoop is the right size for most drop cookies.
