The Ototo ice cream scoop made of stainless steel is designed to easily shape and serve round balls of ice cream. Before serving, the scoop can be dipped into a bowl or glass of warm water (to be repeated each time a new scoop is served) — the heated scoop facilitates the release of the ice cream and prevents sticking. The handle contains a liquid that conducts heat, which warms up through contact with the hand to make it easier to release the ice cream. It features a spring mechanism for easy release of the scoops. Hand washing is recommended.
