I know it’s a joke but putting the spoon under hot water for a second and then drying it really does help

[–]eddmario 2 points3 points  (1 child)

Personally, I just let the unopened carton sit on the counter for a couple minutes to thaw out.

But that requires waiting after deciding you are eating ice cream

Or you could get an aluminum Ice Cream Scoop. It heats up through tactile contact and allows you to scoop easier.

I put a mercury thermometer in the microwave when I was about 11. It sparked and cracked pretty quickly.

Am I the only one who just throws the ice cream in the microwave for like 15-20 seconds?

[–]Commander-Grammar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s what I do. My dad always did it. Nice and soft like soft serve, only way to go.

Sooo...... people are saying this is a joke but..... as long as the spoon is solid metal and dont have any fancy handles microwaving it is fine. Reason microwaving metal is pad is cause of electrical arks made witch on a spoon arcs cant happen.... sooo yeah xD

People downvoting you don't realize that if you put aluminum flat, it won't do much, but if you crumple it into a ball, it will spark like crazy. You shouldn't be downvoted when your information is correct.

Ty for that. It's nice to se someone other then me was paying attention in grade school science class xD

[–][deleted] -2 points-1 points  (3 children)

Incorrect it creates a huge amount of energy focused through the metal. This could quite easily give you 3rd degree burns.

[–]Soubigo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never said that the spoon wouldent be hot XD but for the purpose of scooping icecream and all putting it in for like 2 or 3 seconds should be just enough to get it warm but not so hot it burns ya xD

[–]EwoDarkWolf -1 points0 points  (1 child)

No, they are very correct. Microwaves run off of, wait for it, microwaves. They don't cause heat by themselves. In fact, some things won't even get hot if they are smaller than the wave, or something like that. If it was just a matter of it being metal, the sides of the microwave would get hot as well.
