Melon baller double-ended KitchenCraft GB40KCMELONDBL, stainless steel, heads Ø 3.1 cm and 1.3 cm, length 18.2 cm

The KitchenCraft double-ended melon baller is a stainless steel scooping tool designed to form uniform spheres from melons and other semi-soft fruits. With two scoop heads—one with a 3.1 cm diameter and a smaller 1.3 cm diameter—this 18.2 cm utensil lets you produce different sizes of fruit balls for salads, garnishes and decorative plating. Drainage holes in each head allow excess juice to return to the fruit rather than spilling onto the work surface. The tool is intended for handwashing and is compact and lightweight for easy handling and storage.

Advantages

The double-ended design provides two ball sizes in one tool, reducing the need for multiple utensils. Stainless steel construction gives a robust, hygienic surface that resists staining and is easy to rinse after use. Built-in draining holes help preserve presentation quality by preventing excess juice from pooling. The 18.2 cm length provides comfortable reach and control when scooping from deeper fruit or bowls.

Suitable for

• Preparing fruit salads and chilled fruit bowls
• Creating dessert garnishes and plated fruit decorations
• Forming small chocolate or ganache spheres for confectionery
• Making Pommes Parisienne or shaping small potato rounds
• Portioning semi-soft fruits such as melon, cantaloupe, honeydew and firm peaches

How to use

Choose the desired head for the size of ball you require. Hold the handle and press the chosen scoop into the flesh of the fruit with a twisting motion, then lift to release a clean sphere. Use the draining holes to let excess juice flow back into the fruit while scooping to avoid spills. For chocolate truffles or soft fillings, press firmly to shape then release the formed sphere. Clean the tool after each use by rinsing and washing by hand.

Usage recommendations

Use on firm but yielding fruit for best results; overly ripe or very hard fruit may not produce clean spheres. Rinse promptly after use to remove sticky residues and dry thoroughly before storage. Avoid dishwashers to maintain finish and prevent damage to the draining holes.
