Product Overview

Here it is – the one and  only original. The Zeroll size 20 ice cream scoop isn't just a tool; it's a piece of catering history that's still the best in the business. Designed back in 1935, its secret lies in the heat-conductive fluid sealed in the handle. This clever design uses the warmth from your hand to glide through even the hardest-frozen ice cream, creating a perfect, classic roll every single time without any brute force.

This isn't just for specialist gelato parlours (though they all have them!). It’s a must-have for any restaurant, café, dessert bar, or even a busy pub that wants to serve desserts with a professional touch. The one-piece aluminium construction is incredibly durable, with no fiddly springs or triggers to break or get clogged up. It’s built to last a lifetime of scooping, making it a true kitchen workhorse.

Featuring a smart, highly polished finish that looks great front-of-house and  a colour-coded end cap for instant portion identification, this commercial ice cream scooper is all about making your life easier. It helps you control costs, reduce staff wrist-strain, and  serve up beautiful desserts that will keep your customers coming back for more. It's the industry standard for a very good reason.

  • Effortless Scooping: The unique fluid handle makes serving even the hardest ice cream easy.
  • Hand Wash Only: You can't just throw it in the dishwasher after a busy service.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Salty Scoop, a bustling ice cream parlour in Brighton, was getting through dozens of cheap plastic scoops each season. Staff were complaining of wrist ache and  portion sizes were all over the place, directly hitting their margins.

"We were constantly replacing broken scoops. Switching to the original Zeroll was a revelation. They glide through even our coldest freezer stock, and  we know every single scoop is the same size. The staff love them."

David Chen – Owner, The Salty Scoop

After switching to the Zeroll GD617, their portion control improved immediately, leading to an estimated 10% saving on ice cream costs during the peak summer season.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Before its first use, give the scoop a good wash in warm, soapy water.
  • It’s ready to go straight out of the box – no assembly or setup needed.
  • The colour-coded cap is fixed, helping you identify the portion size at a glance.

Keeping It Going

  • Crucially: Hand wash only. Dishwasher detergents can permanently damage the special aluminium surface.
  • Rinse or wash with a mild soap after each use to prevent residue build-up.
  • Dry it thoroughly with a soft cloth to maintain its highly polished finish.
  • Never expose the scoop to extreme heat or leave it soaking in boiling water.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Ice Cream Scoop

Not sure which scooper suits your setup? Here are a few things to consider before you buy.

Portion Size is Key

Different colour caps mean different sizes. A larger scoop (lower number) is great for cones, while a smaller one like this size 20 ice cream portioner is perfect for desserts.

Mechanism Matters

Trigger-style scoops can be complex and  break. The Zeroll's one-piece design means there are no moving parts to fail, making it incredibly durable for commercial use.

Consider the User

A scoop that warms in your hand, like this Zeroll aluminium ice cream scoop, dramatically reduces wrist strain for staff during long, busy periods.

Cleaning Routine

If your kitchen relies heavily on dishwashers, you might need a different tool. But for sheer performance, hand-washing a Zeroll is a worthy trade-off.

The Shape of the Scoop

Look for a bowl shape designed to 'roll' the ice cream. This creates a more appealing, professional-looking serving than a simple half-sphere.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What does 'Size 20' actually mean?

A: It's a portion guide. It means you should get approximately 20 scoops from a single litre of ice cream, which is brilliant for controlling costs and  consistency.

Q: What is the fluid inside the handle?

A: It's a completely safe, non-toxic, heat-conductive liquid that is permanently sealed inside the handle.

Q: Can I put this in the dishwasher?

A: No, absolutely not. The Zeroll GD617 ice cream scoop is strictly hand-wash only. Harsh dishwasher chemicals will permanently tarnish and  damage the polished aluminium finish.

Q: Why is this better than a scoop with a spring-loaded trigger?

A: The simple, one-piece design has no springs or gears that can break, jam with ice cream, or rust. This makes it far more reliable and  much easier to clean properly.

Q: Does the gold-coloured cap come off?

A: No, the end cap is a fixed, permanent part of the scoop. It's colour-coded to help you and  your staff identify the portion size instantly.

Q: Is this scoop suitable for frozen yoghurt or sorbet?

A: Yes, it works brilliantly on all kinds of frozen desserts, including hard-packed gelato, sorbet, and  frozen yoghurt.

Q: What is the main benefit of the aluminium material?

A: The Zeroll aluminium ice cream scoop is lightweight and  an excellent conductor of heat, which is the key to its unique, effortless scooping action.

Q: Does it create a perfectly round ball?

A: It's cleverly designed to create a classic 'rolled' scoop shape, which many chefs and  customers find more appealing for presentation than a perfect sphere.

What Customers Are Saying

The absolute classic for a reason. Don't bother with the imitations, this is the one you need for your business.

Mark L. – Gelato Shop, Manchester

Love the colour-coded system. We have a few different sizes and  it makes it so easy for new staff to grab the right one during a rush.

Chloe R. – Restaurant, Edinburgh

A brilliant scooper, makes life so much easier. Just remember it's not dishwasher safe, but that's a small price to pay for how well it works.

Samir A. – Café, Birmingham

The Zeroll Legacy: More Than Just a Scoop

Since 1935, the original Zeroll ice cream scooper has been the undisputed industry standard, and  for good reason. Its genius lies in its simplicity. While other tools have become more complex, Zeroll has stuck to a design that simply works, day in, day out. This isn't just a purchase; it's an investment in consistency and  reliability. For a business, that means predictable portion costs, faster service, happier staff with less wrist fatigue, and  a professional presentation that customers notice. It’s a tool that pays for itself not through flashy features, but through decades of unwavering performance in the world's busiest kitchens and  gelato shops. Choosing Zeroll is choosing a piece of catering history that's still making business sense today.

The Magic in the Handle: How Heat Conductive Fluid Works

Ever wondered how a Zeroll scoop glides through rock-hard ice cream? It’s not actually magic, but clever science. The handle is filled with a special, non-toxic fluid that transfers heat from your hand to the edge of the scoop. Think of it like a tiny, self-powered radiator for your ice cream. This slight warming action melts a micro-thin layer of ice cream as it cuts, creating a smooth path and  preventing the ice cream from sticking, giving you that perfect roll without any strenuous effort.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Ice Cream & Gelato Parlours: For serving perfect, consistent scoops all day long, keeping queues moving and  customers happy.
  • Restaurants & Bistros: An essential tool for plating professional-looking desserts, from sundaes to à la carte accompaniments.
  • Dessert Cafés & Coffee Shops: Ideal for adding a quick, clean scoop of ice cream to brownies, waffles, or affogatos.
  • Mobile Caterers & Food Trucks: Its durable, no-moving-parts design makes it a reliable choice for events and  festivals.
