  • Best Spoon for Quenelles

    Escrito por Andrew Freire on octubre 22, 2023 en 20:28

    I am currently taking David Rickett’s course on plating and he has a list of Recommend Equipment including a Quenelle Spoon. Can I use any typical spoon, or are there special spoons just for making quenelles? If so, is there a special brand or model of spoon that most chefs recommend for quenelles?

    Hi Andrew. You can use any spoons to make quenelles, as long as both are the same size. It helps if the spoons have a deep bowl, as shallow spoons will create flat quenelles. The most important consideration is your desired quenelle size, so use a suitable size spoon.<div>

    You can buy special spoons for quenelle making, often sold as plating spoons or decorating spoons. You can also buy silicone moulds to make a lot of identical quenelles in advance, useful for ice cream quenelles.

    I just use regular tablespoons myself. Just don’t use soup spoons, you need a tapered shape. Good luck!

    Hi, @andrew-m-freiregmail-com

    You can use a regular tablespoon, you just have to keep in mind that the tip or final edge of the spoon is a little closed in order to create the characteristic shape of the quenelle. I leave you some images of tablespoons that we use to make quenelle.

    Andrew, I just came across an article, purely by coincidence, that sang the praises of the Gray Kunz spoon. Apparently it’s featured on the TV show, The Bear, but was popular long before that. It’s a versatile sauce spoon, but the tapered edges and deep bowl make it very suited to quenelles. It’s available on Amazon, so if that’s an option for you, look into getting two of those!
