It’s not easy being a left-hander and keen cook. There’s a long list of kitchen tools, gadgets and utensils that aren’t designed for us; scissors, knives, peelers, corkscrews, can openers, whisks, cooking spoons and spatulas. Not to mention lipped saucepans, mixing bowls and ladles – the list goes on and on!
When I searched the internet with a fine tooth comb looking for left-handed ice cream scoops, I only found one… one company – Stöckel – that makes them! Considering 10% of the world’s population are southpaws, other manufacturers are missing out on a lot of potential custom!
The other two will work well enough for both left and right handers. However, a scoop with a lever and ‘scooper’ (the narrow, semi-circular piece of metal inside the scoop that swivels) does a better job.
