Forks with ice cream. Seemed stupid, tried it out, converted.
How does that work with the melted part?
Can't say it's a problem I encounter, but I might opt for one of them double wall bowls that you can freeze to prevent the melting altogether.
I already have bowls. And spoons.
Right, well I wasn't trying to convince you to switch only answering the question. Enjoy what you have as it please you.
To be fair, "buy more equipment" is not a great answer.
That's how you interpreted my comment? Perhaps it was my use of 'you' whereas I may have written 'a person'? It was meant more as a royal you than a specific you.
I didn't suggest anyone 'buy more equipment'. I answered that I would use a funny bowl.
Good luck on your future endeavors.
I love when a silly comment about ice cream sparks a semantic disagreement then concludes with faux politeness. Ah isn't the internet glorious.
Cheers for the laugh, Mr Noodle.
Oh, bless your heart. I was wishing you luck because clearly you're going to need it.
There's been an obviously simple misunderstanding here, and only one side of this exchange has doubled down on blowing things out of proportion.
You've just directly insulted someone based on how they choose to consume ice cream.
Champ, you're the one reading way too much into this.
If the ice cream is very hard, then the tines of the fork break it apart more easily, than the dull edge of a spoon.
Some people melt their ice cream in the microwave before eating it, though.
Everytime I tell someone I microwave my ice cream, they think I eat hot fully melted ice cream rather than just softening it lol
New concept for me. I've just left it out on the counter before for someone that prefers it softened.
Do you find the softening consistent all throughout? Might give this a go next time a softer serve is needed.
I’ll usually put a pint in for 10 seconds or so. It softens the ice cream pretty uniformly, just a bit more on the edges than the center.
"I'm making ice cream soup!"
My dad used to put ice cream in a mug, and then place it on the metal plate of the biggest burner in the stove to melt it a little. This worked about a hundred times before the mug exploded in a lot of tiny pieces.
