Good scoop

This is a really good Mellon baller, we use it mainly for watermelon and it has no issues cutting through the fruit and creating perfect bite size chunks. It has a comfortable grip and is easy to use.

Makes balls in 2 sizes!

Reviewed in the United States on June 30, 2016

Verified Purchase

First of all, I like this melon baller much more than I like previous ones I have purchased. Many of them tend to be made poorly and break easily, but I didn't have any trouble out of this one. So far, it has held up to regular use. I love that there are two sizes in one so I could vary things up a little.

I used for its intended purpose as a melon baller in preparation for a birthday party, and it worked very well. I also used it to scoop ice cream for my kids (just for fun). It worked well on ice cream that had sat out long enough to soften a little. I'm not sure that it would work as well on harder ice cream.

I don't think it would work well with cookie dough as mentioned in the description. I'm not sure how the cookie balls would come out - they won't fall out as easily as melons or ice cream. You may want to rethink it if you're considering it for that purpose.

Overall, great quality and great product when used as intended!

Perfect for tomatoes!!

Reviewed in the United States on November 1, 2023

Verified Purchase

I love baking tomatoes with herbs and cheeses. I also recently took on canning and wanted to make a chunky tomato sauce. Both of which require "coring" the tomatoes. This is a pain to do with a spoon and tends to mangle the tomatoes, especially if they are small. I purchased this hoping it would work and it did!! I was able to core out the small Romas for cooking in a fraction of the time, they came out perfect for the oven (and yes canning too...but for that you quarter them after coring), and the perfect little hole left held the herbs and cheese. It also helped reduce the amount of liquid that came out of the tomatoes in the oven.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND....if you want something that works so well with veggies...and yeah, still works on melons :)
