UPPFYLLD Ice-cream Scoop (Turquoise)

This scoop costed me a dollar, but it isn't worth the money. It's made of great quality plastic in a lovely turquoise colour and it's dishwasher safe. However, it defeats the purpose because it isn't good for hard ice-cream, the one most people would have in their freezer. The ice-cream gets stuck inside and you need a spoon to get it out. Needless to say, it doesn't hold the shape or improve presentation. Ikea recommends heating up the tool with hot water, but this doesn't change the outcome basically because this scoop is made of plastic not metal, and doesn't heat up enough to get the desired purpose. Perhaps works well with soft ice-cream? A simple table spoon put under warm/hot water does a better job. Watch professional chefs use two average spoons to plate an ice-cream and you'll save your money and the planet.

UPPFYLLD Pizza Cutter (off-white)

I was looking forward having a pizza cutter at home, but this one turned to be not what I was looking forward to. The blade is very sharp but isn't dented, so cutting pizzas isn't easy or clean! It can be used to cut dough or other flat foods that don't have a hard base, and it's better for those purposes. The UPPFYLLD kitchen tools line is all about colourful handles, but this one is off-white and as boring as it gets. Super cheap, but, in this case, you get what you pay for. 

 

DESIGNER: K. Gouriou & W. Chong

Materials: Polypropylene plastic the handle and stainless steel the blade. 

Measurements: 18cm L.

Washing: Dishwasher-safe.

UPPFYLLD Lemon Squeezer (bright yellow/bright green, 15 cm)

This lemon squeezer is really a great fun design as well as the whole Uppfylld line. It adds a pop of colour in the kitchen. Most importantly, his is a great squeezer that I can use directly on all the drinking glasses I own. I love the gridded inverted lid at the bottom because it collects the disgusting pipes securely. This lid can be removed, cleaned and put back easily.

The main downsides are, firstly, that I can get tired of so much colour; in all honestly, I'd love having this made of stainless steel. Secondly, this is a large squeezer that requires a bit of storage space as it's larger than the average squeezer.

Dishwasher safe.
