Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of OXO Good Grips Medium Cookie Scoop
Customer Review: Handy as you like!
Summary: 5 Stars
The very best things about OXO products are the clever and stylish designs. This, like the many other OXO gadgets I have has been worth every penny! Not only do the products allow you to get back to good old fashioned forms of cookery, they do so in a way that is simply ingenius and highly time saving.
Let's face it, no one has time to faff around with labour intensive forms of cookery anymore but these products allow you to get busy with good honest cookery in a way that takes no extra time out of your busy shedule. Easy to clean and stylish looking too.
I find it useful for creating cookies but also stylish dinner party embelishments, neat butter patts, individual pate rounds, small ice cream dressings for serving with hot pie, sorbet globes; heck even good for small scones or shortbread mini's etc and incredibly uniform portions too! Try it if baking or cooking for friends and family is your bag, you'll love it and it's not bank breaking nor hard to store.
Customer Review: Really handy tool to have
Summary: 5 Stars
I was using some plastic ballers to do cookies and they just weren't cutting it. I got one of the OXO scoops to replace it and I'm never looking back.
It has really comfortable rubber ergonomic grips that keep your hands from slipping even when a bit greasy. The ratcheting feels solid and you never think they are just going to collapse on you like the plastic ones. The spring is just right, strong enough to quickly reset, but not so tough to wear you out if you use it for several dozen cookies. Plus the paddle sweeps out the dough very well.
The plastic ones I've used have cracked in the head or the handle and the gears were pathetic. The spring didn't always reset all the way and the paddle wasn't machines tightly, so it caught a lot of gunk, making it hard for quick release. I tossed them all out when I got this bad boy.
Customer Review: Retired after years of faithful service
Summary: 5 Stars
My Oxo scooped its last cookie this week. After nearly weekly use for just over three years, the little gear at the end cracked and the scoop no longer releases the dough. I pressed it into service a few extra weeks by using it to portion the dough and then digging the dough out with a teaspoon. The best thing about the scoops is the repeatability-every cookie is the exact same size and shape. If you fill the scoop up and then level it off by scraping off the excess on the rim of the bowl it makes a nice flat bottom dough ball that spreads evenly and predictably. The large scoop makes a pretty generous cookie; recipes claiming to make 4 dozen typically only make three dozen or so. The medium scoop is best for more reasonable sized cookies. I don't have the small scoop but I would imagine it would be too small for dropping cookies.Customer Review: Best cookie scooper around!
Summary: 5 Stars
My children and I love to bake cookies for the holidays. We have lots of family members that we send them to and as such we will bake 10-15 dozen at a time. These cookie scoops are fabulous. They make the perfect size cookie every time and always release the dough easily. I usually set up an assembly line where one of my kids scoops while the other rolls the dough in sugar or flattens the balls depending on the receipe. When they get bored they switch places. I'm in charge of making the dough and getting it to the table. You would be surprised at how quickly you can make alot of cookies when you have the right tools and these cookie scoops (small and medium) are definetely a big time saver. To save even more time consider an Exopat baking sheet. Another great time saver.Customer Review: Worth the extra $$$
Summary: 5 Stars
If you make cookies fairly often (say once a week or more), this handy little gadget is definitely worth the price.
I resisted getting a cookie scoop forever. "A tablespoon was good enough for Mom and Grandma...it's good enough for me!" What a fool I was. In a nutshell, the OXO good grips cookie scoop:
-Makes uniform cookies that look great and bake evenly.
-Is MUCH faster and easier than using a tablespoon.
-Has smooth action and releases the dough easily, unlike cheaper scoops.
If you're on the fence about whether it's worth it to purchase something that "could be done with a tablespoon," wonder no more. Anyone who bakes cookies regularly will be happy they purchased the Oxo scoop.
