Portion Scoops & Dishers
Portion scoops and dishers are indispensable tools in commercial kitchens, cafeterias, buffets, and catering operations. Also known as spoodles, these utensils help ensure consistent portion sizes for better cost control, faster service, and improved presentation. Available in a wide range of sizes, they come in both solid and perforated versions to suit different types of food.
Solid portion scoops are ideal for drier foods like rice, ground meat, or peas, while perforated scoops are best for foods that need to be drained—such as boiled vegetables or foods with excess liquid or grease. Choosing the right type can help reduce mess and improve plating efficiency.
Handle colour is another key feature of portion scoops. The colours correspond to specific portion sizes and follow industry-standard coding, allowing staff to quickly grab the right size during prep or service. This is especially useful in environments like long-term care facilities, where consistency is crucial for meeting nutritional guidelines.
We also carry dishers, which resemble ice cream scoops but are made for softer foods like mashed potatoes or cooked vegetables. They feature a built-in scraper band that releases the food cleanly, but they’re not built for frozen items—using them on ice cream could damage the mechanism.
Not sure which type or size is right for your kitchen? Let us help—get in touch with our team and we’ll guide you to the best option for your needs.
