Melon Baller and Fruit Carving Knife

Melon Baller with a Fruit Carving Blade
A bowl of cut melon tastes fine, but it looks like every other fruit bowl at the party. A melon baller turns the same fruit into neat little spheres, and it only takes a few minutes more than cubing it with a knife.
This one does two jobs. One end is a round metal scoop, and the other end is a V-shaped serrated blade for cutting zigzag edges. Scoop out the balls, then use the blade to give the empty melon shell a crown edge and serve the fruit right inside it. Round fruit balls and a carved serving bowl, with one small tool. Handle colors vary.
How to use a melon baller
- Cut the melon in half and scrape out the seeds.
- Press the edge of the scoop straight into the flesh until the bowl is buried.
- Rotate it in a full circle and lift out a round ball.
- Start at the outer edge and work inward, leaving a little space between balls so each one stays round.
How do you carve a melon with the zigzag blade?
Push the blade through the rind at the middle of the melon, angled toward the center, then make the next cut at the opposite angle. Keep going all the way around, and the two halves pull apart with a crown edge. It works on cantaloupe and honeydew as well as watermelon.
What else can a fruit baller scoop?
Think of this watermelon baller as a small melon scooper for anything soft. Try it on papaya, ripe pears, avocado, butter, soft cheese or sorbet. It's also handy for coring apple halves and removing seeds from cucumbers and zucchini.
A fruit carving knife or a regular knife?
A paring knife can cut a zigzag, but it takes a steady hand to keep the points even. The fixed V shape of this fruit carving knife does that part for you. Be careful with it, because the serrated tip is sharp.
