    Fun fact: the heat-conducting fluid inside the handle is actually what my very first video on this channel back in 2021 was about! ruclips.net/user/shorts1XoKbQWgIto
    💙 Thanks for watching! I went to 7 different ice cream stores in NYC and a few in California, Kansas, and Florida to confirm they were all using this same one. Pls consider leaving a like and subscribe if you want to see more like this 🙌 it really helps the channel grow!

Why do businesses use specialized tools, instead of just using whatever they've got lying around at home? Why do they use boxcutters to open boxes, instead of, idk, their keys? Like a normal person?

      Like @gracynspencer5208 said, they also help to melt the ice cream, making scooping easier.

    • @peasant502
      @peasant502 Год назад

      @kaitlynlin0330 well, really there are plenty of types of ice cream scoops, and to accomplish heat conduction, some of them are liquid filled. I have no idea about any swishing sound, and to be honest I haven't used an ice cream scoop in a long while, and my background is more in physics than the ice cream industry. I would assume, however, that there are plenty of types of ice cream scoops with plenty of different interior heat-transfer mechanisms. Essentially, it depends on the scoop what it's filled with. I've also seen plastic ones, which seem to me like they would conduct heav very poorly, so I assume the heat conduction is more of an accidental feature than a designed one.

      @logemcdoge4620 It's fine. They're not necessarily wrong, just a bit cynical. The franchise owner certainly wouldn't want us giving away more ice cream than people paid for. It's a business after all, and the capitalists gotta make as much profit as they can exploiting the workers and customers. They just don't use illusions based on the shape of scoops of ice cream to do it.

Cow's milk is for the calves. Goat milk is for the lambs. Camel milk is for the baby camel. Sheep's milk, camel's milk, and the milk of other animals and insects are also responsible for breast cancer.

I still remember my first customer, when I handed her that hollow ball, she came back and yelled at me, called me names and bad mouthed the company on my behalf. I remember tears rolling down my face and still trying to smile to her and offering to remake it for her but she wouldn’t give me a chance. After that, they told me to make sure I roll a tight ball and how just one swipe usually won’t give you the solid sphere.

    I worked in ice cream for a while and we explicitly never gave empty scoops. We used the big metal scoops because if they were thicker so they stayed hot longer. Between scoops you submerge them in a hot water bath which makes scooping easier and cleans them between flavors.

      People just don't know how you're supposed to use an ice cream scoop. You're supposed to keep scooping and forming the ball of ice cream until it's a perfectly round, somewhat solid ball of ice cream. 4-5 passes minimum, often more depending on how hard the ice cream is. You don't actually _want_ to serve a truly solid ball of ice cream, it's extremely difficult to eat with a spoon out of a bowl that's not chilled to freezing (since the solid ice cream slips around when you try to get through it with a spoon). Forming a somewhat solid ball with several passes breaks the structure enough to easily spoon out of a bowl, even when the ice cream starts to melt where it hits the bowl.
      You also can't stack truly solid balls (so forget 2 ball cones unless the balls are tiny or the cones huge), nor do they sit nicely side by side in a bowl or a cup for a visually pleasing sundae.
      While many things are, not _all_ things are done just to screw the customer.

    Actually that’s an improper way to use the scoop and in ice cream shops they have to have tight balls (aka how ice cream cones look, they don’t have giant holes) From my knowledge the main advantage comes from the handle, the metal ones have a liquid in the handle that transfers heat from your hand to the rest of the scoop which slightly warms it up and therefore is easier to scoop. Plus the shape of it. Also an ice cream scoop is a very popular utensil for people to own, I have one so do many other people in the comments because I don’t want to fight my ice cream and bend a spoon in the process

    Okay, the ACTUAL reason the scoops are used is 2-fold. 1) it's sturdier and that is very important when you're scooping thousands of times in a day. 2) I don't know if this applies to all scoops, but the ones I know of have a special heat conductive fluid in the handle that transfers the heat from your palm to the scooper portion, which allows you to cut through frozen icecream MUCH more easily.

    I worked at a couple different ice cream shoppes and they teach you to drop the first scoop back into the ice cream bucket, and then re-scoop, putting the first-half scoop into the middle of a new scoop...
    Essentially, you are building a fatter, prettier scoop.

Sppons are too simple and we've actually snapped over 10 spoons from from trying to scoop ice cream. 3. It looks prettier.

    Also scoops have a large thermal mass in the handle, in fact a lot of them actuly have heat pack material in the handle, which is why they tell you not to put it in the dishwasher as it could burst.
    This causes a thin layer of the ice cream touching the scoop to melt, making it fall right off of the scoop instead of having to fiddle around with it.

      Yeah, but that's because spoons usually have much thinner handles. You can also bend them easily by getting them caught in a drawer or even just leaning on them. Frozen ice cream is hard.
      A plastic rice paddle works as well as an ice cream scoop, minus the shaping ability, and it's less conductive than the average spoon. And dipping all three of them in warm water makes as much difference as the serving utensil itself.
