Vollrath 2 oz Stainless Steel Disher - Size 16,Dark Blue

I've used this scooper for over a decade, to dish up 250+ meatballs a week.. few months ago, the spring finally snapped.. so i went to order a new one (like this one), and found out they sell the springs separately. so i got a spring, and it worked great.. however, an employee used it 1 time, and it came apart, so they THREW IT AWAY (crushed).. so looks like I ended up having to order a new one anyways.. The best disher there is. my previous boss, bought me 2 at a local store and they both died within a few minutes of use.. plastic gears are not meant to be in this type of utensil . Very rugged , and reliable, as long as a coworker doesn't toss it in the trash. So very happy to have this again.. Trying to portion meatballs using 2oz solo cups is a pain and extremely time consuming.

This is a great portioner. It’s sturdy, strong, performs well, and has a good solid feel in the hand. I have only owned the #16 for a couple months, but I've owned a #40 for two years and it has held up very well. Despite the mechanism, it is not difficult to clean: just press down on the handle to clean beneath the moving arc, then put it through the dishwasher.The #16 makes large, attractive, bakery-sized cookies that are about 3 to 4 inches in diameter, with most in the 3.5 inch range. I find this to be a great size for bake sales, but rather too large for regular household use. For cookies we’re going to eat at home, I use the Vollrath #40 (3/4 ounce) which makes cookies in the 2.5 inch range (give or take half an inch).My only complaint about the Vollrath scoop is that they don’t make a left-handed version. This is a strongly right-handed tool. I am left-handed and I usually hold this scoop in my left hand, scoop the food, and then reach up at an angle with my index and middle fingers to pull down on the lever to release the food. This is awkward. The angle I have to hold it at means that the “power sweep” of the arc is from the bottom of the scoop to the top, rather than top to bottom, which makes it a little more difficult to free sticky substances. I sometimes switch the tool to my right hand for the release, which makes for an easier release but feels more awkward to me as my right hand is weaker and less accurate than my left one. But these are small issues to me compared with the high quality and performance of this scoop.

It is exactly what I wanted. Very durable.

I bake a lot of cupcakes because my children have food allergies and I have to custom bake their cupcakes. I purchased the yellow #20 two years ago, and it has never let me down. Although I recommend taking better care of your scoop, I can honestly say that this scooper has been dropped, been left sitting in water, been run through a dishwasher multiple times and still looks and works like brand new. My husband and my children shun all the other scoops in our home and are always hunting for this scoop bc it's the best for ice cream, too. I just purchased the larger #16 and received the same great quality authentic Vollrath product, made in the USA. They have earned my loyalty. I will definitely be purchasing additional scoopers and sizes. For the couple of people that received something other than the authentic Vollrath brand scooper, just initiate a return with Amazon, and indicate that you did not receive the correct product. Problem solved. It happens sometimes - giant warehouse, human with many orders to fill goes to the wrong bin, picks and ships you the wrong product.If you have received the authentic Vollrath brand, I believe you'll agree with the other five-star reviews, and like me, you will always trust the Vollrath brand. Happy ice cream scooping and cupcake baking!!!

After breaking two ice cream scoops on hard pack ice cream, I am always on the look out for a sturdy and easy to use scoop that is also dishwasher safe. My boyfriend says these are just like the ones they used in the ice cream shop where he worked as a kid, and they definitely seem to be the classic scoop. I never have had to use the scoop release trigger, things just kinda plop right out. The hard rubber grip is comfortable and definitely helps when trying to get out the hardest of ice creams. However, the rounded edge is not great at "breaking ground" and falls short compared to our square edged OXO ice cream scoop that never fails with hard ice cream.**UPDATE**Bought a second one (size 30 - 1 oz, black handle) and love the action just as much as our original larger one with the blue handle. Between the two, I am set for baking and ice cream. I find the blue one is perfect for divying out perfect portions of batter for standard size cupcakes. I also use it for very large cookies. The smaller one is great for filling my mini muffin tin and for making drop biscuits. Again, they are not great for breaking into a hard ice cream, but are fine once it has sat out for a few minutes.

Works well. Sturdy construction. Bought to dish muffin batter and it does the job.

When I went searching for this, my wife told me she wanted a quarter cup ice cream scoop with a thumb scraper on it. So I got out my Google-fu and did a search. Little did I know that there were technical terms I needed to learn. First, it's called a Disher, and a scoop is something else...and we already have a scoop. Then I learned that there is a size I want for 2 ounces...a #16. There was a little confusion on other sizes, but #16 was the final choice. THEN I discovered that the sizes are color coded! So I wanted a #16, blue-handled Disher! This is the one my Google-fu settled on. It is working very well for our Sunday morning pancakes, and will serve very well for ice cream this summer. It goes through the dishwasher with no problems, and stores well.

Expectacular

It seems really strong and long lasting. We have used it quite a bit and so far so good

Esta es la segunda Scoop Disher de Vollrath que adquiero. Son muy buenas. Bien construidas y realizan su trabajo muy bien. Si requiero comprar otra, con mucho gusto lo haría.

OMG! How could I make meatballs without this amazing thing before!!!!It makes my life much easier whenever I am baking cupcake or making meatballs and....Love it!

Tal parece que su calificación y piezas vendidas inflan este producto de pésima calidad, al recibirlo se notaba lo frágil que era, talvez para juga a la cocinita está bien, pero bien caro, no conviene este artículo no le veo ningún plus, que mal que tenga tan alta calificación y tantas ventas siendo muy mediocre.

I made short work of 2kg meatballs with this scoop. It does release easily and was easy to hand wash. The scoop feels durable.
