Modernist Cutlery designed this spoon specifically for quenelle and rocher work - the technique of shaping soft foods like mousse, ice cream, butter, purees, and tartare into tight three-sided ovals using two spoons. The long narrow profile and refined bowl shape are engineered to glide through soft bases cleanly and release the shaped form onto the plate without dragging. At 9.25 inches it has the reach for deep containers and the length to provide good leverage through the shaping motion.
Built from surgical-grade stainless steel, the spoon is durable, corrosion-resistant, and polished smooth enough that cold bases release cleanly from the bowl face. The slim ergonomic handle offers precise control for the detail work involved in composed plating. At 1.3 oz and 30mm wide it is noticeably lighter and narrower than a standard plating spoon - this is a specialist tool optimized for quenelle and rocher technique rather than general saucing or serving work. A straightforward, well-built specialist at a reasonable price.
Care Instructions: Hand wash recommended to maintain finish and performance. Dry thoroughly after washing.
