Scoops and Ladles

Scoops have bowls of varying sizes attached to handles. Some scoops have a spring-operated mechanism that pushes batters, ice creams, or other preparations cleanly from the bowl, making it easy to scale them consistently during production or service.

Melon ballers, also called Parisian scoops, may be round or oval, with straight or fluted edges. The scoop is twisted into the food to make a perfect ball or oval. They are most typically used to portion melon or other ingredients, such as ganache, that are soft enough to scoop but firm enough to hold their shape.
