Don’t Waste Money On These Pointless Kitchen Appliances

Warming Ice Cream Scoop, $20

Ice cream enthusiasts know the challenge of scooping rock-solid frozen desserts. Many of us resort to leaving the carton out for a few minutes or, for a quicker solution, popping it in the microwave for about twenty seconds. However, for those who are even more impatient, enter the inventors of the heat-conducting ice cream scoop.

Utilizing thermodynamic technology, these scoops are designed to slightly melt the ice cream, making it easier to scoop. While this might sound appealing, the truth is you can achieve a similar effect for free by simply microwaving your ice cream. Most warming ice cream scoops fall within the price range of $14 to $20. So, in the end, it's probably more economical to save your money and exercise a little patience.
