Ice Cream spade?

[Robert_in_NY]

I was playing on the New holland web site and saw this

I will admit I have never seen something like this so what is its purpose? I have seen numerous types of ice cream scoops but a spade?

Well, I did a search and ended up finding this information.

When do you want an ice cream spade instead of a round scoop? An ice cream spade works best in hard ice cream cutting through easily and scooping plenty. It's easier to press the spade through the hard ice cream with force and leverage. Save the round scoop for softer ice creams and to make round balls for ice cream cones.

I am kind of surprised to see this type of item available from New Holland though.

We have both & I like the spade for the really hard fresh out of the freezer stuff. Much more cutting & leverage in the spade than is possible w/the scoop.

Me, too. And I don't recall seeing or hearing of an ice cream spade, but it appears to be something I could use. We've got a couple of ice cream scoops, but it was sure hard work digging that frozen ice cream out of the container to make myself a chocolate malt a couple of hours ago.

Used to use one in the "Ice-cream-haulick" days, before the Dr. told me I was diabetic.

If you are blessed enough to live in the South-Central or South-West regions of the country where you can find Braum's stores, they have them. Best kitchen tool I've ever bought -- most used, too!


BTW, for road trippers passing through TX, OK, AR, MO, and NM (maybe some others, too), if you have never stopped at a Braum's, give them a try. Outstanding burgers, fresh squeezed lime-ade, and very good ice cream.

I know this will stir things up, but there ain't but one kind of ice cream, and that's Bryer's vanilla. Everything else is something else. And I could use one of those spades when I make my rootbeer float.

You only think that because you haven't yet eaten any GOOD ice cream. Now most folks in Texas seem to think that Blue Bell is best, and I'll admit it's very good, but Braum's is first choice, especially their old fashioned banana splits.

And Robert, you cost me $5.77 plus tax this morning. That's what I paid for the Farber ice cream spade.

ME TOO! Now, on the other hand, a JOHN DEERE ice cream spade... That sounds more logical.

At age 42, I've come to realize that I'm lactose intollerant. I like ice cream, but it doesn't like me. hahaha But when I do push it and have some, I've found that getting the spoon wet with water really makes a huge difference in scooping it out.

I've never seen that spade either, but I bet with Robert being home all day, he's gonna find all sorts of new things on the web. hahaha
