Unlike those dishers, the iconic Zeroll with "antifreeze" in the handle is not designed to hold a level scoop of anything; it's designed to roll the ice cream into a ball. It uses a different sizing system, where the size # is the number of double scoop servings in a gallon of ice cream, e.g. #10 = 20 single scoops/gallon, #30 = 60 single scoops/gallon. Each size has different color end cap on the aluminum handle. On most retail websites, the colors are associated w/ ounces, which in this case is NOT volume (fluid ounces) but rather weight. Of course, it's only an average weight since the amount of air in ice cream, sorbet, gelato, etc, varies widely; imho that makes it rather useless. Give the diameter of the ball of ice cream in inches/cm would be more useful. In case someone else finds your post while looking for info on Zeroll scoops, they should check the Zeroll website -- they have a useful chart. <br /><br />BTW, I have some Piazza dishers and love them. They are made in Italy, which is a big plus since I try to buy kitchen equipment made in the US or the EU.Kansas_Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04535342533974623409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8879150550496901886.post-21474564728261716032013-08-12T06:02:43.693-05:002013-08-12T06:02:43.693-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Kansas_Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04535342533974623409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8879150550496901886.post-48897253439980296872012-07-14T18:59:23.172-05:002012-07-14T18:59:23.172-05:00I bake professionally and I wonder if some manufac...I bake professionally and I wonder if some manufacturers are looking for compatibility within their own lines. For example, we use the #6 and #16 plastic vollrath dishers at work, and two level #16 scoops will completely fill the #6, when one would think that should be the case with the #8. To those considering home disher use, I have used two with great success. the #16 and the #70. one #16 for muffins and ice cream, two #16 scoops for burgers, and the #70 for roux's. hope this helpsAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09555942988348537946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8879150550496901886.post-32112493871169911822011-10-01T15:04:32.140-05:002011-10-01T15:04:32.140-05:00Thanks, very helpful!Thanks, very helpful!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8879150550496901886.post-11962536604549327442010-05-03T13:23:45.705-05:002010-05-03T13:23:45.705-05:00Great blog you have going here...

BTW, here in Manila, we have scoop # 14. It's hard to find suppliers of this size. Even in your chart, I do not see #14 scooper. Anyway,thanks!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
