Apple spoon

The apple spoon, also known as the melon baller or Parisienne scoop, is used to scoop regular balls from the flesh of fruits and vegetables. Melon, potato, courgette or beetroot: it makes plating easier and adds volume to a dish. Our Apple spoon range is intended for foodservice professionals as well as home cooks, within the Cut and peel section.

Choosing your apple spoon

Which scoop diameter should you choose?

The diameter of the bowl determines the size of the balls produced. Small sizes suit fine decorations and amuse-bouches, while larger ones are made for fruit salads and garnishes. Double-ended models with two different bowl sizes offer more versatility on a single handle.

Which materials should you choose?

Stainless steel ensures a clean cutting edge on the bowl rim and withstands intensive washing. A well-balanced handle, sometimes fitted with an ejector or a non-slip finish, makes batch work easier. The Paderno brand is featured in our range. See also the Zester and channel knife and the Decorating knife.
