Leaving a commercial ice cream container on the table while serving can quickly lead to a sticky meltdown. A new insulated stainless steel ice cream keeper that holds a standard 14- to 16-ounce container is an effective new solution. With its screw top lid in place the ice cream maintains a fine scooping consistency for a good hour or more; without it you can count on 30 minutes. The company also makes an insulated bowl, travel bottle, salad set and pet bowls. They all come in marbleized patterns in blue or pink, and in a wood-grain design.
