Anyone have one (or more)? Does the word Oxo appear anywhere on it?
Where? (Stop laughing!)

Yes-- On the black part of the handle near the end farthest from the
scoop. In *tiny* letters molded into the plastic.

What they don't have is a size indicator, which would be handy when
referencing them in a recipe. --- Whoa!!!

They do to have that-- and the Oxo name, again. On the piece that
clears the scoop out. My medium one says "Oxo 40 (1 1/2T)" on that
little piece of metal.

Thanks for making me look at it-- I've been cursing them since
Christmas for not being marked.

Thanks. Must say I have never seen one of these used. Seems like
a food service sort of item.

I've only had mine for a few months. I find it a lot easier to get
consistently sized cookies with them. I use the small one for my
buckeyes to start out with a bit of a ball shape.

Jim, thank you very much. I have a #100 scoop. Any I have seen online
like mine (with black rubbery-like grips) are Oxo, but mine has no Oxo
markings on it anywhere. BTW, it's typical for them to carry the
portion size on the sweeper. I knew that part. :-). Heckuva it is I
don't remember where I bought the danged thing. I think I want a larger
one but wonder if the Oxo medium size is too big. Thanks again; that
was very helpful.

I used it when I made my Oreo "Truffles" at Christmas and last week when
I made gingersnaps and cc cookies. It's slicker'n snot! It makes a 2-
or 3-bite cookie and is quicker and more uniform than using two
teaspoons as was my wont. When La Kid was here a few weeks ago, she did
nicely scooping pb cookie dought, too.

Barb, go to a Cash & Carry or Smart & Final or whatever restaurant
supply store is in your area.
They have portion scoops (dishers) in every size you could possibly
want.

I only have the small size. I use it for cookies and meat-a-balls.

Why does it matter if it says Oxo or not?

The commercial ones I've used (German made) have color coded handle caps
with the size info printed on them as well.

Y'even knew what the part was called. Wa-a-ay ahead of me.


I don't see an Oxo 100 listed anywhere. My small is a 60 [2 tsp]. The
100 must be 1 tsp-- that *is* small.

I'm with you-- it sure makes keeping things the same size easy.

I can cut an 8' 2x4 in half by eye and come closer to even than I can
scoop 8 cookies on a sheet. [or balls of bread dough- where the scale
rescues me]

I didn't care much if it said Oxo [maybe I would if I paid for the
name] but I didn't think they had the size, which makes life easier
when making notes or reading someone else's recipe.

I like the one Pete referred to that had color coded handles-- [and
for me, I'd like the numbers and volumes printed on them]

Don't have an OXO but found this neat page of information. According
to the page, the number designates the number of level scoops equal 1
quart. It also gives the capacity in cups and spoonfuls.

Oh, okay. I'm not into colored handles and I can figure out volume by
sight.
