Description

Stainless steel meatball scoop · one piece · built to last

Uniform meatballs in seconds, with clean hands

Scoop, press and release. A ball forms in the bowl and drops straight out onto the tray, so your hands stay clean and the whole batch comes out the same size. It is the quick way to a tray of matching meatballs for dinner parties and meal prep.

Press the bowl into the mince, turn your wrist, and lift. Every ball comes off the scoop the same size as the last one, and the whole tray cooks through at the same time.

The mechanism

The opening in the bowl lets every ball drop free

Look at the bowl and you will see an opening cut clean through it. That opening is what makes the tool work, and it is why a plain spoon can’t do the same job.

Air gets behind the ball as you lift, the suction breaks, and the ball loosens and rolls out under its own weight. You never have to poke it out with a finger.

It is one rigid piece of steel with a shaped bowl: a trigger-free, hinge-free design with nothing to jam, wear out or go missing in a drawer.

How to use it

Three moves, and the tray fills itself

Wet the bowl

Dip the scoop in a cup of water, or wipe it with a little oil. This quick step lets the mince slide off the steel instead of clinging to it.

Press and turn

Push the bowl down into the minced meat and turn your wrist as you drag it towards you. The mince packs into the bowl and rounds off against the sides.

Lift it out

Raise the scoop clear. The ball sits in the bowl and rolls off onto your tray or straight into the pan. Re-dip the bowl and go again.

Because the bowl is a fixed shape, the tool decides the size for you. Take up a full bowl each time and the whole tray matches. Take up less mince for smaller balls, still matching each other.

Why even sizing matters

Same size in means same time out

Hand-rolled meatballs vary more than you think, and a ball half again as big as its neighbor needs longer in the pan. Matching sizes give you one timer, one tray, and everything ready together, with centers cooked through and every ball juicy.

It is the same reason a scoop is used for cookie dough and muffin batter, and it is why a tray of matching meatballs looks so good on the table at a dinner party.

What it is

One piece of steel, shaped for one job

  • A single rigid piece. Bowl, neck and handle are one continuous tool. It stays together through every batch, and there is no join for mince to work its way into.
  • A shaped bowl with an opening through it. The bowl rounds the meat; the opening lets air in behind the ball so it releases cleanly.
  • A long handle. Your hand stays above the bowl and out of the raw meat. It also gives you the leverage to press into a firm, cold mince straight from the fridge.
  • A polished stainless steel finish. Smooth and easy to rinse clean, with no grain or seam to hold onto fat.
  • Great for more than meatballs. The same motion forms fish balls, rice balls and veggie balls: anything you would otherwise roll between your palms.

Choosing at the top of this page

Two shapes to choose from

The selector above offers two shapes of the same tool. They do the same job in the same way and differ in the handle and the shape of the opening. One scoop ships per order, in the shape you select.

Round bowl · tube handleA deep round bowl with a round opening through the center, a slim tubular handle, and a small wire loop at the end so it can hang from a rail or a hook. Choose this one if your utensils live on a rail.
Slotted bowl · arched handleA shallower bowl with a long teardrop opening, and a flat ribbon of steel that arches up and back over itself to form the handle. Choose this one if you like a flatter tool that lies neatly in a drawer.

Questions

Before you order

Which shape should I pick?

Pick the one you like: the round bowl with a hanging loop for a utensil rail, or the slotted bowl with a flat arched handle for a drawer. One scoop ships per order, in whichever shape you select above.

How big are the meatballs?

A full bowl makes a ball roughly the size of a walnut in its shell. Take up less mince for smaller balls. Either way they match each other, which is the point.

Does the meat release cleanly?

Yes. Dip the bowl in water or wipe it with a little oil before the first ball, and again if it starts to drag. The opening through the bowl does the rest.

Can I use it for anything but meat?

Yes. The same press-and-turn motion forms fish balls, rice balls and veggie balls: anything soft enough to pack into the bowl and hold its shape.

How do I clean it?

Rinse it in warm water while the mince is still soft, then dry it. With no seams or extra parts for residue to sit in, it rinses clean in seconds.

Can I hang it up?

The round-bowl tube-handle shape has a wire loop at the end of the handle for exactly that. The arched-handle shape lies flat in a drawer.

Uniform meatballs in seconds

One piece of steel, one press per ball, and a tray that cooks evenly because everything on it is the same size. Pick your shape above and make your next dinner party or meal prep the easy way.
