Ice cream is the best comfort food, but when it's an ice cream emergency (say, after a break up), only the '15.0% Ice Cream Spoon' will be able to cut through a fully frozen quart of the dairy treat in a hurry. Though the purpose-made ice cream spoon is pricey, it proves its worth by using advanced heat-conducting technology to scoop even the hardest ice cream with ease.
The 15.0% Ice Cream Spoon is crafted from solid aluminum with a thermal conductivity of 237 W/mK. That quality allows it to channel its scooper's body heat towards the leading edge of the utensil, melting ice cream and producing a perfect scoop every time.
The spoon comes in three flavors: "vanilla" has a standard curved edge, "chocolate" has a flat edge designed to better dig up the last bits from the bottom of the container, and "strawberry" has tines to better grab at icy sorbets.
