F. Dick Double Ended Melon Baller, 22 and 25 mm

Two scoop sizes in one tool give this F. Dick melon baller more range for fruit salads, appetizers and garnishes. The 22 mm end makes smaller spheres for detail work, and the 25 mm end makes larger balls for fruit cups.

Mixing the two sizes on a platter adds visual interest to a fruit display. The scoops work on melons and avocados, and they portion cookie dough and truffle centers as well. Press the edge in, rotate a full turn and lift for a clean sphere.

Chill the melon before scooping for cleaner, firmer balls. Leftover melon around the scooped holes can be pureed for smoothies or sorbet, so little goes to waste. Dip the scoop in warm water when portioning dough.

For small 12 mm pearls, the F. Dick Parisian melon baller is the companion. The F. Dick 7-piece garnishing set includes a range of decorating tools, and the F. Dick zester and channel knife adds citrus garnishes.
