FAQs
What is the diameter of the scoops?
The tool features one 30mm scoop and one 40mm scoop.
Can this be used for things other than melon?
Yes, it works well with any soft-fleshed fruit, including papaya, dragon fruit, and even soft ingredients like butter or cheese for artistic garnishing.
Is the melon baller dishwasher safe?
While often dishwasher safe, hand washing is recommended to prolong the lifespan of the handle and maintain the sharpness of the stainless steel edges.
What is the total length of the utensil?
The Vogue Double Melon Baller measures 185mm in total length.
Is this tool suitable for frozen fruit?
No, it is not designed to penetrate frozen fruit and may cause damage to the tool or strain your hand.
Troubleshooting
Fruit is sticking to the scoop head
Briefly dip the scoop in warm water before each cut to prevent fruit flesh from adhering to the steel.
Difficult to rotate in the fruit
Ensure the fruit is ripe; under-ripe fruit is firmer and requires more pressure. Use a twisting motion rather than just digging straight down.
Handle feeling slippery
Ensure your hands and the handle are dry before starting, or use a clean kitchen towel to improve your grip on the polypropylene surface.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This tool is ready to use immediately out of the packaging. No assembly or calibration is required. To maintain the longevity of your Vogue Double Melon Baller, wash it thoroughly after each use with warm, soapy water. While the stainless steel heads are resistant to rust, ensure the tool is completely dry before storing it in a drawer to prevent any long-term buildup or water spotting. It is recommended to hand wash to preserve the finish and structural integrity of the polypropylene handle over time.
