- Rock-Solid Build: This scoop can be dropped or knocked without any fear of it shattering.
- Size Consideration: Its large 64oz size is too big for smaller countertop ingredient jars.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Rutland Pie Co., based in Oakham, was struggling with flimsy, cheap plastic scoops for their flour and fillings. They were breaking frequently, causing delays and posing a contamination risk from plastic fragments.
"We were going through a new scoop every month; they'd get brittle and just snap mid-service. We switched to the Cambro polycarbonate scoops and haven't looked back. They feel solid, they're a doddle to clean, and we've had the same set for over a year without a single issue."
Michael Edwards – Head Baker
The switch resulted in zero breakages and a 15% improvement in ingredient prep time due to the scoop's larger capacity and efficient shape.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Wash thoroughly with warm, soapy water before its first use to remove any residue from manufacturing and shipping.
- Dry completely before use, especially when working with moisture-sensitive dry ingredients like flour or sugar.
- Designate a specific home for it, like a hook or a dedicated container, to keep it clean and off work surfaces.
Keeping It Going
- For best results, wash after every use to prevent cross-contamination between ingredients.
- The scoop is fully dishwasher safe, making sanitation simple and effective.
- Avoid using abrasive metal scourers or harsh chemical cleaners, as they can dull the clear surface over time.
- Regularly check that the hanging hole is clear and the handle is secure (though with this build, it always will be!).
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is this scoop actually unbreakable?
A: It's made from 'virtually unbreakable' polycarbonate, meaning it's extremely durable and resistant to cracking or chipping from drops and knocks in a normal commercial kitchen environment.
Q: Is the polycarbonate material BPA-free?
A: Yes, Cambro's Camwear polycarbonate products are designed for food safety and are BPA-free.
Q: Can I use this for hot ingredients, like fried onions from a fryer?
A: Polycarbonate has good heat resistance (typically up to around 99°C), but it is not designed for direct contact with deep-fryer temperatures or hot oil. It's best for scooping cold or dry goods.
Q: What is the exact capacity in litres?
A: The 64oz capacity is equivalent to approximately 1.9 litres.
Q: Will the clear plastic stain if I use it for colourful spices like turmeric?
A: The non-porous surface is highly resistant to staining and odours. For best results, wash it promptly after use with colourful ingredients.
Q: Is the handle hollow or solid?
A: The handle is moulded as part of the scoop, designed for strength and a comfortable, secure grip. It is not a separate piece that can break off.
Q: How should I store the scoop to keep it hygienic?
A: The built-in hanging hole is the best option. Hanging the scoop allows it to air dry properly and keeps it off potentially contaminated surfaces.
Q: Is this scoop suitable for use in a customer-facing setting, like a sweet shop?
A: Absolutely. Its crystal-clear, clean appearance and durable build make it perfect for front-of-house use where hygiene and presentation are key.

Explore more from CambroMore Than Just Plastic: The Cambro Polycarbonate Difference
You might see 'polycarbonate' and just think 'plastic', but in a kitchen, it's a world away from the stuff your water bottle is made of. Think of a standard cheap scoop like a thin drinking glass – it’s brittle, can absorb stains and smells, and a sharp knock can cause it to crack or even shatter. That’s a food safety disaster waiting to happen.
Now, think of this Cambro scoop as being made from the same material as shatterproof safety glasses. It’s incredibly tough and impact-resistant. But critically, it's also non-porous. That means it won’t hold onto the flavour of the paprika when you go to scoop some flour, and it won’t get stained by vibrant spices. It's this hidden durability and hygiene that makes a professional-grade polycarbonate scoop an indispensable and safer tool for any food business.
Who Should Buy This?
