Creative Co-Op Scoop

No, this scoop should be hand washed only. The nickel finish and cast aluminum handle can be damaged or tarnished by the harsh detergents and high heat of a dishwasher.

Clean the scoop with warm water and a mild dish soap, then dry it immediately with a soft cloth to prevent water spots. Avoid using abrasive scrubbers or harsh chemicals, as these will scratch or strip the nickel plating.

While the stainless steel bowl is durable, this scoop is better suited for softer items like dips, sauces, or room-temperature foods. It is not designed to withstand the heavy pressure required to dig into rock-hard frozen ice cream.
