Ice cream spoons are one of those kitchen tools we all tend to use during hot summer months, only to completely forget about it once the colder seasons are here. If you use it for ice cream and nothing more, it’s time to change your tune because this tiny kitchen tool is more versatile than you think.

Making Meatballs

If you have trouble making sure that your meatballs come in the same size and are perfectly round, an ice cream spoon will help you solve this problem with ease.

Making Patties

You can also use your ice cream spoon to divide and form patties when making hamburgers, crab cakes, veggie fritters, and more. By doing so, you can ensure consistent size and even cooking time.

Portioning Batter

You can also use an ice cream spoon to portion batter for all sorts of desserts including muffins and cupcakes. This tool can also be used for scooping cookie dough.

Getting Rid of Seeds

If you’re struggling to hollow out cantaloupe, squash, and pumpkin with a regular spoon, try using an ice cream spoon because its sharp edges will get the job done.

Scoping Chocolate Truffles

Chocolate truffles are already round in shape, so you can easily use a smaller ice cream spoon to scoop them out before rolling them.
