I have the ice cream scooper and I did a practice demo last night (my first kitchen show is tomorrow night!) and my father asked me what the scoop is made out of? He said that it looks like aluminum and that he wouldn't buy it if it was. Does anyone know? I would like to know that way if any of my customers ask me! Thank You!

The Product Info from Consultant's Corner states that the Ice Cream Dipper is made of "Heavy gauge aluminum material" and that the "hollow handle" contains a "nontoxic de-icing solution". Why wouldn't he buy it if if was made of aluminum? Hope this helps! :)
 
I'm curious too Kristen as to why he wouln't buy it. If he is thinking aluminum causes Alzheimers here is a link to look at. Top of page two.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Ice Cream Scooper made of aluminum?

No, the Ice Cream Scooper from Pampered Chef is not made of aluminum. It is typically crafted from a durable stainless steel material that ensures longevity and effective performance.

Why is stainless steel preferred over aluminum for ice cream scoopers?

Does the material of the Ice Cream Scooper affect its performance?
