Melon Baller
A melon baller, formally called a Parisienne scoop, is a small spoon like tool used to cut round or oval shaped sections of melon, known as melon balls, by pressing them into the melon's flesh and rotating. It can also be used to cut other soft fruit.
The diameter of a melon baller's bowl varies from around 1 centimeter to 3 centimeters, and it is typically made of stainless steel with a handle of wood, metal, or hard plastic. Some varieties have the handle in the middle and a different sized bowl on each end, and the bowl typically has a small hole in the middle to allow air and juice through.
