5.0 out of 5 stars Beyond Melon Balls December 20, 2006
I use this little tool in so many ways, and hardly ever for melon balls! It's great for shaping meatballs, making uniform-sized drop cookies, small ice cream scoops for single serving desserts, scooping the seeds out of cucumbers and apples, etc. It's just a great thing to have around. This one in particular has a great grip on it, and the convenience of two sizes of scoops. Definitely a must-have for my kitchen.

5.0 out of 5 stars A true multitasker October 5, 2003
This thing is great! It's up for scraping the seeds out of a cuke, coring apples, and even (!) making pretty little melon balls. It's easy to clean, it's grippy, and it comes with two different sizes on the ends - just one scoop didn't cut it for OXO. They went above and beyond the call of duty. If only the people who set the price on this thing would do the same... Though it's somewhat pricey for the small gadget it is, I think it's worth the money just in the amount of time it saves me scooping the seeds out of the middle of apples. And plums and other small stone fruit as well.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good tool July 10, 2000
This is a good quality tool. I expected the 'good grips' handles to be soft and squishy, but they are quite hard. They don't slip around though, even when wet, which is nice.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sturdy & Comfortable July 24, 2001
Amazon Verified Purchase
I previously had a "Brand X" melon baller which, with occasional use, developed a cracked handle which I had to tape to keep together and later, the scoop end broke off! I broke down and got the best... the OXO is really sturdy and, as with all their products, comfortable to use. I can tell I'll get years of use out of it without it falling to pieces like my previous one. It just goes to show, even with a product that only gets occasional use, it doesn't pay to get a cheap one!

5.0 out of 5 stars Tool with Great Grip and Very Useful March 17, 2008
Amazon Verified Purchase
I love this little utensil. The handle is sturdy and the two sized scoops are very useful for different tasks. I use it to drain or scoop out any small items, such as capers or olives. I like the idea of using it for meatballs or even balling up the crumb for crumb cake. It's a versatile tool not only to create melon balls.

5.0 out of 5 stars Useful! March 7, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase
I've used it for cookies and I have used it to core apples to make apple tarts. I've also used it for watermelon and honey dew. I've used it to scoop ice cream.
I even use it as a spoon. possibilities are limitless. I think i paid almost $10 for it which is alot for a metal spoon with plastic handle but so far, it's worth the every penny.

4.0 out of 5 stars Love that it has two sizes. Not so fond of the handle September 5, 2012
By anton2g

The melon baller works well. It makes easy cuts of little round balls and then releases them well. The availability of two sizes is fantastic. The handle however is not too comfy to hold. For a single melon it works fine, but if you are going to be using it a lot of long stretches of time, look for a better handle to hold.

Can't say much for it since it's just a melon baller but it is sturdy and does the job. It's also nice that it has two different sizes. I like the brand Oxo and have never been dissapointed.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not good balls, oh well.
The balls this thing produces aren't perfect. If you want to present or photograph what you're going to ball- don't use this tool.

Well there's not much you can say about a melon baller. It works? I don't use it on melons, I use it to make meatballs and cake balls, and the large scoop is really good for that. Read more
