Is the handle strong enough to dig into a pint of firm ice cream without bending?

hehehe... ok, that's a GREAT question! I would guess yes, they are pretty sturdy/heavy. But, my wife wants to know "if you are eating outta the pint container, why would you want to take such small bites?" To her point, these are ice tea spoons, and have a fairly small spoon.I say try 'em, their cheap enough.

It's strong enough but the bowl of the spoon is very shallow, and you wouldn't really get a scoop, just a tiny mouthful.

I have not specifically tried this, but why would you want a long-handled spoon as graceful as these to be an ice cream scoop? I doubt they could accomplish the task without bending. However, they would be a great tool to slowly sample the ice cream once placed in the dessert bowl. Recommend you appreciate the nature of this spoon for what it is. It is not a multi-task piece of equipment.

These seem to be more sturdy than your usual long spoons. As long as the ice cream is not so hard you are using the spoon as an ice pick, then these spoons should hold up well scooping firm ice cream. Of course, this is all relative to your strength and the force applied.

They aren't the flimsiest ones I've purchased, nor are they the sturdiest. I've had mine for a couple years & none have broken. One does "skip" when I use it on thick cookie dough, but otherwise it works fine. If you are buying these with the intent to use to scoop ice cream or thicker/tougher types of cookie doughs, I'd maybe suggest going with another brand; however, if your intent is to use for cake batters or mailable doughs, they are a good purchase for the money.

We've had one of these for four years and it's never bent. It has a rubber coating, but it's definitely metal underneath. This is the ultimate scooper.

Very solid, cant picture causing a bend these handles through any standard usage.

No. The end that goes into the container is hard plastic that doesn't bend.

Have only used a few times since purchased. have not noticed any issues with bending handles. I'm happy with purchase.

The handle feels plenty strong. It does appear to be a very hard alloy and is acceptable.

Well yes, but be careful. If you fill the container with heavy scraps, the handle may not support its weight.

I would call it medium heavy. The soup or serving spoon would probably be OK for the ice cream. I have seen heavier at more money, but this is definitely not super light. (I guess my husband uses it to dig in the ice cr4am.

You could bend the handle but there are other tea infusers out there that already have that: Oggi Stainless Steel Tea Stick InfuserOriginal Teastick by Gamila Products

ABSOLUTELY yes! The ridge on the lid is too short to allow any traction to be applied when twisting open. I have learned to put a piece of plastic wrap over the ice cream BEFORE I put in the lid, and most of the time this prevents the lid from freezing to the container and being difficult to open.

Yes,This has a slight bending ability. But not enough to bend on a curve. Bending might break the seal inside. Contact the manufacturer for these type of questions.

the handle is made of composite metal. it will not break unless it is abused.

It feels like the thick metal goes all the way up through the handle. It's really solid. The point in the tip probably helps dig in there too.

I would say yes. The metal is thick. This is not a light metal that can be bend by hand easy

I really don't know why it would bend. Our unit does not because the handle is very strong. Hopefully you ordered the correct model.

If the pint fits within the container, I don't think here should not be a problem. I have not tried it personally but since the container is made to keep ice cream frozen it should work in the freezer or keep the ice cream frozen longer for picnics. :-)
