The Solution To Impossible-To-Scoop Ice Cream

All prices listed are as of publication and could change. Patch may earn a commission on some purchased items.

Picture this: You come inside from a sweltering hot day and want nothing more than to enjoy a big bowl of ice cream. You might be melting, but your ice cream didn't get the memo. It's still frozen rock solid and impossible to scoop, so you're forced to wait for it to thaw (which we all know is torturous).

When we scream for ice cream, we want it now — enter the this warming ice cream scoop. It makes serving up ice cream pretty darn effortless, no batteries or electricity required. There's a biodegradable liquid in the handle that transfers heat from the handle to the scoop, which has the world's first thermo-ring-heated scooping edges. What's that mean exactly? The edges of the scoop heat up, but the middle stays cools so your ice cream doesn't melt.

This genius kitchen gadget not only exponentially enhances your overall ice cream-eating experience, but it also costs less than $20. It's available in silver and in black. They're both fantastic but different — kind of like chocolate and vanilla.
