Questions & Answers
I have two of them, and they appear to be made in China. They are, however, stamped 18/10 Stainless Steel, which they most certainly are. Even after multiple dishwasher cycles, mine haven't developed any rust. I use mine once a week, never hand wash it, and it still looks brand new, so I bought a second one right away.
3 teaspoons = 1 tablespoon, according to the kitchen equivalency chart. So 1. 5 teaspoons = 0 5 Tbsp. The description is accurate, if a little confusing. This is a small scoop with a diameter of 1 inch. The length of the handle is approximately 7 inches. This is the best scoop for mini cookies (approximately 1.25 inches in diameter). 5" - 5" diameter cookies (depending on how far the batter spreads). I've been using it for years and really enjoy it.
It'll be 4 tbsp because it's a 2oz scoop.
If you're referring to sandwich fillings such as tuna or chicken salad, I'd say no because it's too small. I use it to make mini meatballs for a soup for an Italian wedding.

This is what I bought to scoop cookie dough with. It's the perfect size for that, and it's a lot easier to use than a teaspoon. I was given a genuine high-quality product. Norpro's construction is of high quality, not some low-cost Chinese knock-off. off. This product's top reviewer bought it over two years ago and got something completely different than I did. Don't go with the vendor they recommend. Amazon was where I purchased it. com LLC. To see for yourself, I've included photos of the scoop I received.
This product has a number of design flaws, so I had to discard it. First and foremost, the piece's overall quality is poor. par. I have an older metal scoop in a smaller size, but you can tell how much more durable it is when compared to this product, which is lighter and feels less expensive. Second, the scraping blade inside the scoop, at least for the 3 tablespoon, does not go edge-to-edge. When squeezing the handle, keep the edge inside the scoop. It only covers about half of the distance. This isn't a "defect" in my package - The scoop is designed in this manner. When I used the scoop for cookies or baking, I inserted the scoop into the dough, squeezed the handle to remove the ball, and placed it on a baking sheet. It's not going to happen. Because of the factors I described above, it gets stuck (very easily) and can't be used in this way.
About 3/4 of the way through its arc, the metal piece that extracts the dough from the scoop became stuck. And it wouldn't let go or return to normal for a long time, despite the fact that there was nothing in it. Just a void! I tried making a batch of oatmeal cookies with it anyway, and it turned out to be exactly as I had suspected. Because of that metal piece, the scoop didn't drop the cookie dough 90% of the time. It goes without saying that I'm returning it. I was debating whether or not to purchase the Pampered Chef scoop, but I didn't want to pay the shipping costs. Now I guess I'll have to do it anyway. Based on all of the positive feedback, there must be some good scoops out there, but mine was not one of them.
It's made of the cheapest materials possible, and it broke the first time it was used to scoop cookie dough. This item is made of stamped steel that is "poorly and loosely assembled at best. " It's possibly the worst thing I've ever bought, with the articulating portion popping out of place after about 10 cookie dough scoops. I have no idea how it could possibly be used to scoop ice cream. First and foremost, the handle is poorly designed in terms of ergonomics. If you tried to scoop ice cream with your hand, it would quickly become very sad. Second, the mechanism for releasing the contents of the scoop is simply a piece of handle metal bent inwards with teeth cut out that "rolls" over a gear with far too wide a spacing. br>br>However, it appears that this isn't the case. COUNTERFEITING is a term used to describe a situation in which something See my photos of their shoddy knockoff product attached. br>br>Below is a link to a YouTube review that demonstrates the quality of the genuine Norpro product. Do not be fooled. br>I could go on, but I'm already irritated that this has taken up so much of my time and energy. I've already reported the seller to Amazon Customer Service, but since their reporting system doesn't allow for photos, I figured I'd post them here instead.
Quality is excellent. I needed a scoop of just the right size to portion out pierogi fillings. I've included some photos to demonstrate the scale of the situation. The scoop, which is the diameter of an American quarter, is even smaller than the other 100 scoops found elsewhere, which are the smallest of their line.
The gear simply wraps itself around the rod, having no effect on the scoop's moving parts.
Junk.
The gearing's weld failed, which should tell you everything, but it was cheaply purchased and handled, so we didn't lose much. We still have a use for these, so we went with one with beefier gearing at twice the price.
It was packaged in a standard box. It wasn't a Norpro 18/10 scoop that I received. I have another Norpro scoop in a different size, and this one does not resemble it in any way. It came in a box with the words "Disher Portioner 18-Pack" on it. The box had what appeared to be Chinese lettering on it and said "8 stainless steel," not 18/10 as stated on the website. On the bottom of the scoop, "18-" was stamped. 8 S/S CHINA4" is a phrase that can be translated as "eight S/S China The Norpro 18/10 was printed on a small white label on the side of the box, but anyone can print a label and stick it on a box. When it arrived, the sliding band part of the scoop was popped out of the top of the scoop, making it look very flimsy and cheap in comparison to my real Norpro scoop. I fixed it, but I figured it wouldn't last if it had already been broken when I received it, so I returned it.
