An ice cream scooper is one of the kitchen tools we can’t leave without in the summer, but most people ditch it once the warmer days are over. If you have the habit of doing the same, it’s time to stop your ice cream scooper from collecting the dust in the drawer and discover its many alternative uses.
Making Meatballs
If you want your meatballs to be perfectly round and of the same size and shape, using an ice cream scooper will get you there.
Making Patties
In addition to meatballs, you can make sure that your patties—ranging from hamburgers and crab cakes to veggie burgers and fritters—are of the same size if you scoop them with this kitchen tool.
Chocolate Truffles
Ice cream isn’t the only delicious sweet treat you can make with the ice cream scooper. Truffles have a similar, round shape as your ice cream balls so they can be scooped the same way.
Portion Control
An ice cream scooper can also help you easily portion the ingredients you need in your recipes. You can use it to portion equal servings, especially when it comes to measuring batter for your baked goods.
