Kitchen Tools

A disher (with a trigger) is sometimes called an ice cream scoop or a scoop with a trigger or ice cream scoops/dishers.

Most of us have a disher at home for ice cream serving, but they are very good for multiple other tasks. A disher helps you to increase your speed and productivity in the kitchen by having uniformed portions with minimum effort and without needing a scale!

They are extremely easy to use for scooping ingredients and releasing thanks to the trigger (does not apply for triggerless ones).

The best for any household would be to have a combination of 3 of the most useful sizes: 1 OZ, 2 OZ, and 4 OZ or 5.33 OZ.

1 OZ disher is best for:

1. Scooping and portioning cookie dough
2. Scooping and portioning deli salads or spreads right on the bread
3. Scooping smaller meatballs
4. Scooping and portioning sour cream (for example, on the top of a soup

2 OZ disher is best for:

1. Scooping and portioning larger meatballs
2. Scooping perfect portions of ice cream
3. Scooping and portioning smaller portions of potato salad
4. Scooping and portioning cookie dough for jumbo cookies
5. Scooping batter for regular cupcakes or muffins

4 OZ or 5.33 OZ disher is best for:

1. Scooping and portioning regular portions of potato salad
2. Creating unified burger patties for beef, veggie, or salmon burgers (and other burgers too)
3. Scooping batter for large cupcakes or muffins
4. Scooping jumbo portions of ice cream
