Melon Ballers

A melon baller is a small, spoon-like kitchen tool used to scoop out round balls of fruit, primarily melons such as cantaloupe, watermelon, and honeydew. It creates uniform spheres by pressing and rotating the scoop into the flesh of the fruit.

Commonly used in professional kitchens, catering, and home cooking to enhance the visual appeal of fruit salads, desserts, and garnishes. Also used creatively for shaping butter, cookie dough, or even small scoops of ice cream.

Usage
