Question: Is the scoop itself solid stainless. Last scoop I bought had a coating on the outside of the scoop-only the handle turned out to be stainless.
Document: I bought this after noticing the coating on my existing ice cream scoop was flaking off into my brown. Ew.This scoop has no coating on it and is only a tiny bit magnetic, meaning that it is a pretty high grade of stainless steel. The scoop feels like it is one piece, and runs through the dishwasher just fine.The body of the scoop is all stainless, so I don't worry about the head shearing off the handle, which can be an issue with some of the lower quality scoops.
I have bought several ice cream scoops over my 68 years. The older ones were the best they were quality. This stuff you buy at the grocery stores are JUNK after two or three times you use them the cheap medal coating starts to bubble up then they go into the trash.The OXO Good Grips Scoop is made if solid stainless steel, I have had mine for a long time and it looks new. It has been thur the dishwasher many, many times. Still looks NEW.
I bought this thing blind and it turned out great. It's a beautifully manufactured hunk of highly polished stainless steel. When you put it in the ice cream it acts like a hot knife thru butter. I guess its the mass of the scoop holding the heat against the cold ice cream. The handle is big and heavy, so its a joy to use. It just looks and works great!Taos Guy
This is the best ice cream scoop I have ever seen. It is Solid Stainless Steal with hard rubber over stainless steal on the handle. It is dishwasher safe (it seems most are not). Im tired of buying scoops where the handle falls apart, or the scoop begins to blister and peel off. This one is completely solid. the scoop itself has a great shape and cuts through solid rock hard ice cream or Frozen Cookie Dough. This is the last scoop you will ever have to buy.
Though I've bought a number of ice cream scoops over the years, my search for perfection finally ended when I discovered this gem. The head is solid stainless steel, the handle dense rubber - an exceptional utensil in both quality and finish. And it doesn't just look high-end. This baby cuts through the hardest ice cream with ease - partly due to the slightly pointed tip, but also because of its heavy weight and superb balance.
This is the last ice cream scoop you'll ever need. The handle is large enough to provide good leverage and a comfortable feel. The scoop is solid stainless steel so no blistering or peeling plating as seems to be chronic with the plated pot-metal types. OXO also markets the pot-metal type so be sure to get the one that's SOLID STAINLESS STEEL.
It also is designed to get into the inconvenient corners of a container and get every morsel of frozen goodness out.This is made of stainless steel and unlike my previous scoops is not some mystery metal  with a painted coating that chips and flakes. It washes up nicely in the dishwasher and is made to last a very long time. I've been using this for at least a year and it still looks new.
We bought this as the last scoop we had began to deteriorate after too many passes through the dishwasher. The handle of the old one left our hand black.The handle on this one is a hard plastic - not rubber. As such, we don't expect it to break down in the dishwasher like the last one we used.No dislikes.I recommend this ice cream scoop to anyone who needs a scoop that is dishwasher safe.
This product is all stainless steel (except for the great grip). You can warm it in hot water and it will dip even the coldest, hardest ice cream. And best, it will stand up to the test of time. No chrome plating to pit and peel off like the last one I bought.
I have been searching and buying ice cream scoops for years. This is the last one. Other have broken, or aren't dishwasher safe. This one is SOLID stainless steal (except for the rubbery handle that is clearly surrounding the steal in the handle). The design is great because the scoop is a touch small with a nice point. The point digs in first so you don't end up shooting ice cream across the room. The smaller scoop is a great idea because it makes the effort easier.
Answer: As far as I know it is Stainless as advertised, I have yet to run complex chemical and spectrometry on the scoop ..
