Heat-Conducting Ice Cream Spoons

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The '15.0% Ice Cream Spoon' Uses Body Heat to Scoop Ice Cream

— August 2, 2016 — Lifestyle
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.
Trend Themes
1. Heat-conducting Utensils - Opportunity for developing heat-conducting utensils that improve the scooping of frozen foods.
2. Advanced Thermal Materials - Disruptive innovation opportunity in the development of new thermal materials for kitchen utensils.
3. Enhanced Food Scooping Technology - Potential for innovative food scooping technology that utilizes heat conductivity for easier food extraction.
Industry Implications
1. Kitchenware - Innovative ice cream spoons hint at opportunities for new heat-conducting utensils in the kitchenware industry.
2. Food Packaging - Development of thermal materials for food packaging may improve the quality and ease of consumption for frozen treats.
3. Restaurant Equipment - Restaurants and food service industry can explore the use of advanced thermal materials in their utensils to enhance customer experience.
