This melon baller is just one of the high-quality Profi Plus tools WMF makes for every conceivable kitchen task. Only 6 inches long, with a 1-inch-diameter head, the melon baller permits precise work when scooping out a melon's sweet flesh so that it decorates a fruit salad or dish of sherbet or serves as a garnish. It's also useful for shaping flavored butters. A hole in the scoop's center prevents a vacuum forming so food releases easily. Contemporary European in style, the melon baller is made of 18/10 stainless steel and is beautifully balanced, with a satin-finish, cylindrical handle, a heavy-duty hanging loop, and a highly polished head. Seamless construction ensures cleaning ease. This tool is dishwasher-safe, durable, and a joy to use for serious cooks and novices alike. --Fred Brack
