Numbers and Sizes of Disher/Scoopers

Disher/scoopers for Cookie TipsDishers/scoopers or cookie scoops,  are all designed for portion control. From scooping mash potatoes or cookies, they yield a set amount.

The interesting thing is the higher the number the smaller the disher/scooper.  Below is a chart that gives the number, the amount in tablespoons, teaspoons or cups and the fluid ounces.

Why I use Vollrath disher/scoopers

Ever since I owned the bakery I have used the brand Vollrath disher/scoopers.  They have two different lines.  There is the stainless steel ones that are pictured and a l line that features colored handles that have a thumb press as opposed to the squeeze handle.

The original intent with the colored handles was to connect a color to a size.  So, instead of calling for a #20 you would call for the color of the handle.
