INSULATED ICE CREAM BOWLS (AND THIS MONTH’S POLL)
Posted by: Turkey Hill Team
We’ve all been here. You settle in for a movie at home with a big bowl of ice cream in your lap. Before you know it, you become engrossed in your movie between bites and your Choco Mint Chip turns into a milkshake. Of course, the solution is to eat your ice cream faster, but even then some melting is inevitable. 
But not with this month’s prize, the Zak ice cream bowl. This cool product is a stainless steel bowl surrounded by a plastic outer shell. A pocket of air separates the two layers, preventing the warmth or your hands or lap from ever reaching your ice cream!
We’ll admit this ingenious invention looks a little bit like a dog food bowl, but we still think it looks pretty sharp. We like it so much that we’re buying three of them and are giving them away at the end of October (three commenters will be chosen at random). Good luck!
Speaking of special ice cream bowls, don’t forget to vote in this month’s poll on the right.

If you’ve got a technical question about the ice cream making process or some other inquiry about the nuances of America’s favorite treat, chances are Ernie has the answer. He might not be able to answer all questions, but he’ll try his best and some may be featured on the Ice Cream Journal.

April 27th, 2008 at 3:07 pmI love Turkey Hill, but I notice the package is shrinking again. It was 64 oz., then 1.75 qt., and now many flavors are 1.5 qt. I will not buy this very small size, and I hope others will not buy these also, so the company will return to at least 1.75 qt. for all flavors
April 24th, 2008 at 5:20 pmthey are nice bowls for the family in the home or rv camping ;;;;
December 31st, 2007 at 2:55 pmthat bowl really different , sure like set of them
December 30th, 2007 at 2:20 pmBecause we live in an apt and have a small refrigerator-freezer space to put ice cream in, I wish there was a way to design an ice cream container which could be folded and sized down as you deplete the contents, thus saving freezer space while still keeping the same quality of ice cream in the smae but smaller sized container..
December 14th, 2007 at 10:53 pmLove the product…quality and taste…good value for my goodies dollars…
October 31st, 2007 at 11:13 amYou just lost a long time customer by having Philadelphia Style in a smaller carton, in what I consider misleading customer by placing smaller containers with regular 1.75 and 1.5 for Philadephia. I don’t buy from people who mislead me.
October 27th, 2007 at 6:02 pmThe whole family knows that my Dad is an icecream-aholic! He makes homemade ice cream at least 2 times per week. He eats most of it by himself. I need one of those Zak Insulated Icecream bowls for him. He would love it. I must get one for him for CHRISTmas! Thanks for the information.

October 5th, 2007 at 3:45 pmHow about the ever popular mug of ice cream. A handle to keep your fingers from freezing, and comes in differnt sizes for different appetites!
October 5th, 2007 at 11:32 amIn the past, I have had a special bowl (Wexford Glass), but this would make it last to the last taste. I could take my time and enjoy licking the ice cream from my spoon. Of course, my spoon would be upside down so I get the flavor quickly.
October 5th, 2007 at 8:38 amMy favorite is maple walnut and when I think of ice cream, I think of maple walnut first. These bowls are a great idea!
These bowls would help make my favorite ice cream last longer…can’t beat that!!!
October 4th, 2007 at 11:16 pmI have a co-worker who likes his ice cream melted to the drinking stage. Boy, could I have fun giving him one of those bowls for Christmas. Just telling him it is a special bowl for ice cream. But not letting him know that it would keep his ice cream from melting!
October 4th, 2007 at 9:00 pmLinda, that’s exactly what my sons used to do! I never found out it was gone till it was too late. I always saw the container in the freezer and figured there was still some left! Didn’t take me long to learn, though!
October 3rd, 2007 at 9:57 pmMy T.H. isn’t in my dish long enough to melt. I could use it in the summer though when my portions get larger,LOL… I like my ice cream to soften up a bit anyway. I take my spoon and stir it around to make it more like soft serve. I admit I did lick the carton of the final remains of my last bit of German Chocolate Cake. My cat was the only witness! I didn’t share with her either!
October 3rd, 2007 at 9:40 pmI have to admit I don’t even use a bowl, I just eat it out of the container-saves me lots of time!
October 3rd, 2007 at 8:18 pmOh how very cool! (Pun intended!) I actually do have a specific bowl I like to eat my ice cream from though I can’t figure why that bowl is better for ice cream than any other bowl. It just is. Though now that I’ve seen those ones I might have to get a couple of them and see how they compare to my “special” ice cream bowl.
I have a niece who would probably love them too; she can never seem to finish her ice cream before it’s melted. Looks like you just helped me find a great birthday gift for her!
October 3rd, 2007 at 4:55 pmI have to say I need to purchase one of those bowls so I can stop putting my icecream bowl/dish in the freezer before eating it along with the spoon so it stays cold an use my potholder for hot food instead of holding my freezing bowl/dish The ritual for eating icream !!!!!
October 3rd, 2007 at 3:04 pmWow those bowls look great! I have 2 boys that keep me running, and don’t have much time to actually sit and eat my ice cream. It’s usually half melted till I get to eat it, so these bowls would be great!
October 3rd, 2007 at 2:33 pmThanks for introducing us to them.
A great invention. In the 50’s and 60’s there were drinking cups like that. My mom had 6 of them in colors, and they really worked. My ice cream doesn’t last long enough to melt, my brother used to stir his and make it real creamy, he said it made it last longer! I would be finished and he would still have some left. But, a great idea!
October 3rd, 2007 at 12:08 pmThese bowls are so “cool”. They would come in very handy on those hot summer days when ice cream melts as soon as it is scooped out of the carton.
October 3rd, 2007 at 11:35 amWhere can you purchase these bowls? My husband would love it.
October 3rd, 2007 at 10:36 amIn my 1/2 gallon bowl, (just kidding), I don’t mind if the ice cream melts. All I do is stir what’s left of the solid part in with the melted stuff and, Voila’, I have soft ice cream.
October 3rd, 2007 at 9:36 amThis bowl sounds great but my dog would not like me to use it! He gets to lick the ice cream bowl after I finish the ice cream - he loves the melty ice cream!
October 3rd, 2007 at 8:18 amI haven’t given much thought to how I might end up with less melted ice cream left in the bottom of my bowl when I get to the end of it (which is a very sad moment
ending the greatest part of the day), but, I think it would really be great if this bowl works well!!!
I realized from reading this, how much I feel “cheated”, out of part of my nightly ice cream serving (which is thoughtfully and carefully served with attempts at self control, while still having that satisfied feeling at the end of the bowl that keeps me from returning to the freezer, spoon in hand, to have a few more spoons to “make-up” for the melted loss)…
SO…once again, if this bowl works, I’d defintely have a “designated” Ice Cream Bowl to fill with my current Turkey Hill favorite, (which is actually whatever container is in the freezer and is full enough to have at least (3) scoops) when I get that craving that only TH can satisfy!!!
October 3rd, 2007 at 7:46 amSHARON (and others) - You can order these bowls at the website below. When you get there, search for “zak ice” to view the Zak ice cream bowls — and some cool looking Zak ice cream spoons!

Like we said, we’re buying three of them to give away at the end of the month too.
October 3rd, 2007 at 7:44 amGreat idea! My ice cream usually does not melt because I eat it right away. We do alot of camping so that’s where I would use them. When we are outside sitting by the fire.
October 3rd, 2007 at 6:55 amWhat a great invention. I can’t tell you how many times I have settled down for my Turkey Hill and got called away and had some messy ice cream soup. I definitely need these bowls!
October 3rd, 2007 at 4:35 amGREAT IDEA!!! But usually finish my TH before ANY of it melts!!! Anyway, how, and where can you order these bowls?
October 3rd, 2007 at 1:47 amMy husband (when do not have company) likes to get every bit of his TH by licking the bowl. Would his face fit into the bowl
October 2nd, 2007 at 10:23 pmI must have one of those ice cream bowls. My husband has a bowl of Turkey Hill ice cream every night and that bowl would come in very handy. And I like the design, too.
October 2nd, 2007 at 10:22 pmI like the bowl, its pretty,, but seriously,, do people really forget about their bowls of ice cream and let them melt? Not at my house, we don’t! lol
October 2nd, 2007 at 10:02 pmWow, German Chocolate brownies topped with German Chocolate ice cream?! Sounds like a new flavor to us.
October 2nd, 2007 at 5:50 pmGuess I better make an effort to find the Pineapple Upside Down and German Chocolate Cake soon. I’m just finishing some German Chocolate Brownies and they would have been great topped with GC ice cream!
October 2nd, 2007 at 1:11 pmHow Genius!!!!! I must have one of those. Great for those moments like you said when your totally focused on a movie and your TH turns into Turkey Mush, yet still tasty! This is just one must have for all the TH Lovers in the world.
October 1st, 2007 at 3:48 pmOMG I was in Shoprite last night and saw the ever glorious TH Limited Edition Pineapple Upside down cake. I wanted to call all of the people shopping over to show them my amazing discovery in the freezer section!!! However, I am still bummed that I haven’t been able to track down the German Chocolate Cake!! It just sounds so delectable!!!!
Looks handy!
