Scoops
In foodservice, a food scoop is a utensil used primarily for handling and transferring large quantities of food, especially bulk products such as flour, sugar, grains, seeds or even ice cubes. They are often made of plastic, stainless steel or aluminium, depending on food hygiene standards. Food scoops are designed to be robust, easy to clean and to meet the safety and hygiene requirements of professional kitchens. They come in different shapes and sizes, depending on the application: for example, flour scoops, ice-cream scoops. They are widely used in bakeries, restaurant kitchens, canteens and any catering environment where large quantities of food need to be handled. They are also widely used in bulk food stores.
