Commercial Ice Cream Scoops & Servers in Toronto & Canada

Ice cream scoops and dishers turn a tub of hard-frozen ice cream into even, repeatable portions, and you'll want the right one whenever a shop, café, or dessert station serves scooped ice cream, gelato, or sorbet and needs every serving to look and cost the same. Winco makes the collection's Ice Cream Disher With Plastic Handle, an 18/8 stainless steel scoop in nine sizes from 7/8 oz to 4 2/3 oz that releases the scoop with a press of your thumb, and the Self-Defrosting Ice Cream Dippers, cast aluminum scoops with a heat conductive fluid in the handle that helps them glide through hard-pack ice cream. Consistent scoop sizes keep portions even for cones, sundaes, and ice cream sandwiches, which matters to guests and to your food costs. Whether you're outfitting an ice cream shop, a café, or a dessert bar in Toronto, Mississauga, Vaughan, or anywhere else across the GTA and Canada, Phoenix Food Equipment gets ice cream scoops and servers to your door.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions from operators buying this kind of equipment.

What size ice cream scoop do I need?

Ice cream dishers are sized by ounces, so start with how big a serving you want. As a rough guide, a 3 to 4 oz scoop makes a generous single scoop for a cone or dish, about 2 oz suits a kids' portion or a sundae, and a 1 oz scoop or smaller works for samples or toppings. The Winco Ice Cream Disher comes in nine sizes from 7/8 oz to 4 2/3 oz, so you can match one to each menu item. For cookie dough, meatballs, or muffin batter, the Winco Stainless Steel Squeeze Disher/Portioner comes in 12 sizes from 3/8 oz to 4 oz. Using one size per item keeps servings and costs consistent.

What is an ice cream spade used for?

An ice cream spade is a flat, wide blade used to scrape, scoop, lift, and release frozen treats, which makes it a good fit for hard-pack ice cream, layering an ice cream cake, or building a sundae. Unlike a round scoop, a spade lets you work along the edge of a tub and pull ice cream off in wide, flat pieces. The Winco Ice Cream Spade has a stainless steel blade and a black plastic handle, and it measures 8.8" long by 3" wide. Many shops keep one beside their scoops for building desserts.

Do self-defrosting ice cream scoops have liquid in them?

Yes, a self-defrosting scoop contains a non-toxic, heat conductive fluid. The warmth of your hand moves through the fluid to the scoop, which softens the surface of the ice cream just enough for it to release cleanly. That's what makes a Winco Self-Defrosting Ice Cream Dipper useful for hard-frozen ice cream, and it's available in 1 1/2 oz, 2 oz, 2 1/2 oz, and 3 oz sizes. It's cast aluminum and hand wash only, so keep it out of the dishwasher. Because the fluid does the work of softening the ice cream, there's no need to dip it in hot water between scoops.
