Having an ice cream scoop really isn't that bad. Not a "kitchen necessity" per se, but functional enough to be more than just be a pointless luxury.

It's only a unitasker because the task it does would destroy any other utensil, and it's the size/shape of a large spoon, so I'm sure you could make room for one.

Unless your tablespoons / serving spoons are some fucking thick and sturdy stainless steel construction, they're going to bend if you use them for ice cream (see: any sort of ice cream you would buy at the store, bring home, and keep in your freezer). Even if it doesn't bend them outright, over time it the little bends will accumulate until one of your spoons looks all fucked up and doesn't stack well with the rest of them. Eventually the bending and possible un-bending of the spoon will cause stress points and small fractures that will lead to it breaking probably within a year or two.

If you keep a good ice cream scoop clean and store it properly, it will last you decades. Besides, an okay ice cream scoop costs less than $10. It's not like investing in a food processor or something.

Buying a $5 tool once is more economical than breaking $1 spoons over and over again.

Holy shit why is this so hard for all of you faggots?

Gelato, as a name, exists in North America because when you think of, or ask for "gelato" / "gelati", you know you're getting something different from typical North American "ice cream".

Is it just a kind of ice cream? Yes, but it's ice cream that specifically and consistently has much finer ice crystals and richer flavors.

If you had two bowls in front of you, one full of strawberry gelato, and one full of strawberry ice cream, and you were asked to tell which is which, you would have no trouble differentiating them, probably without even needing to taste them.

If you asked for ice cream and were served gelato, sure, you may not really care, aside from noticing that your ice cream is particularly rich and smooth. But if you asked for gelato and were served ice cream, you'd know right away that it's either the wrong dish, or some really fucking shitty gelato.

It's like a Taco and a Burrito. They're similar in essence, but different enough to be considered two separate dishes, and not just two ways to prepare the same dish.

tl;dr: Is gelato ice cream? Yes. Just a specific type of ice cream that's different enough to have its own name.

Zeroll is a pretty nice panty dropper ice cream scoop. I gave them out as Christmas gifts one year to close family and friends. But, that was before I met the good chef's smart scoop. This Teflon coated, sharp edged, ergonomic, spring loaded, beautiful bastard will outscoop any zeroll anyday. The opening mechanism and curved "jaw" literally pushes the ice cream out of the scoop using the natural curve in the bowl of the scoop when you release the handle.

Zeroll is a good level to be on, but I have surpassed simple material possession level speak. The good chef's smart scoop has allowed me to transcend to levels of self actualization I could have never even dreamed of while using a zeroll ice cream scoop.

There are plenty of bad reviews for the zeroll. Many people shit on it for not being dishwasher safe. A couple years back they had a bad batch that went out and exploded due to heat exposure which actually injured some customers.

Incidents/Injuries

The Pampered Chef has received 16 reports including damage to kitchen items and six reports of personal injuries including lacerations, bruises and redness caused by caps coming off the base of the handle.

Remedy

Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled ice cream dippers and contact The Pampered Chef for instructions on obtaining a replacement or refund. Consumers can also contact their Pampered Chef consultant for replacement and refund information.

Sold at

Pampered Chef consultants and online at www.pamperedchef.com from July 2010 through September 2010 for about $15.

Manufacturer(s)

The Zeroll Company, of Fort Pierce, Fla.

Distributor(s)

The Pampered Chef, of Addison, Ill.


The smart scoop will make perfect spheres, as with both scoops, it takes a bit of practice.

The smart scoop does not have some gimmicky liquid filling that can explode and injure the user. It just has a perfect Teflon coating and a really smooth release mechanism that results in a perfect scoop everytime. because its not heated, it doesn't melt your ice cream, so you could even claim that the smart scoop makes a better hard pack/cold ice cream scoop. If you want your ice crew soft serve or premelted, go zeroll all the way. I have used both and LOVE both. But my smart scoop is my go to ice cream scoop.

This, I feel, depends on who makes it and how it's made. In other words, I conjecture that there is some ice cream out there with finer crystals than some gelato out there.
>richer flavors.
My issue here is threefold. First, "richness" is hard to define. Second, the sensation of richness is somewhat subjective. Lastly, just like the texture of the ice crystals, richness is a quality that can vary depending on who made the stuff; ergo, some ice creams may be richer than some gelatos and vice versa.

>i bet you have only 1 cast iron pan and a camping stove
At my country place, yes. At home I have a well stocked kitchen, with a few "unitaskers". I drink coffee every day, so I have a coffee maker. I drink wine most evenings, so I have a corkscrew and some wine glasses. I make rice often, so I have a rice cooker. But I have ice cream a handful of times a year, so why the fuck would I need a specific utensil dedicated to scooping it. I'd have to eat the stuff a lot more often than I do to justify that thing taking up drawer space.

It's how they used to make "fried ice cream" for mexican or other restaurants. Block, dredge in corn flakes or whatever they do. It's also used for a baked alaska idea.
