This ice cream scoop is simple and easy to use.  You simply press your thumb on the lever and the ice cream is swept out of the scoop and onto your plate, into your cone or into your dish! 

 You can use it also for mashed potato.  It certainly makes potatoes more appealing to children and they look so much better on the plate. If you are on a diet or watching what you eat a scoop such as this helps you to measure portion size - you can't cheat by having an extra large dollop of potatoes! You will know exactly how much to allow yourself.
