Title: Retired after years of faithful service
Product review: My Oxo scooped its last cookie this week. After nearly weekly use for just over three years, the little gear at the end cracked and the scoop no longer releases the dough. I pressed it into service a few extra weeks by using it to portion the dough and then digging the dough out with a teaspoon. The best thing about the scoops is the repeatability-every cookie is the exact same size and shape. If you fill the scoop up and then level it off by scraping off the excess on the rim of the bowl it makes a nice flat bottom dough ball that spreads evenly and predictably. The large scoop makes a pretty generous cookie; recipes claiming to make 4 dozen typically only make three dozen or so. The medium scoop is best for more reasonable sized cookies. I don't have the small scoop but I would imagine it would be too small for dropping cookies.
