Melon Baller: What else can it do?

  

  A melon baller is a kitchen utensil 

which is designed to scoop out spherical chunks of melon. 

There are actually a number of uses for a good melon baller,

 and it is a tool well worth acquiring for the kitchen,

 especially for people who do a great deal of formal entertaining. Here's how:

• 
  

  • 
    
  Remove seeds from fruit. Rotate baller around the centers of halved apples or pears to evenly dig out only the core.

Shape petite meatballs from your favorite ground meat mixture. Brown them in a pan and serve as appetizers or toss with spaghetti and sauce for the kids.

Form perfectly round mini cookies with the dough of your choice (reduce your usual baking time by 1 to 2 minutes). These bite-size treats make a smart, portion-controlled snack, impromptu gift, or party favors.

Serve up sorbet in style. Mix and match scoops and colors and arrange them in a dish; freeze until serving time.

Now, these are only few... remember: use it to Remove, Shape, Form and Serve. Have fun! ☺
