Aprroximately 4-6. Anything that you find ideal. I you have some and woul like to sell, let me know. If you have a source when I can purchase some, do the same. FYI, looking to do single-spoon quinelle's out of a quart deli container.

Thanks,
Shane
 
You just need some hiphop and a cutey holding the spoon...

These are what some would call "backwards," in that the round end of the quenelle is at the end and not by the stem. They make a beautiful quenelle with a great shape although I had to adjust the angle of the stem to get it right. This is a kinda small spoon, more of a tasting spoon to me than a plating spoon, I'd say about a tablespoon would fill the bowl, maybe 4 tsp.

whatever bouchon uses as their tableware is quite possibly the best spoon shape i've ever seen... i'll try to take a picture next time.
 
hmmm, I am a spoon nut and I never even noticed Bouchon's spoons. I have one of Maxim's, and although I am no queneller it looks like it would do the business.
 
These two spoons by Robert welsch are the best I have found, nice and heavy, and with the shape of the bowl of the spoon the point of the quenelle (rocher) will face you.

Awesome.. Thanks. Jon next time you go to Bouchon you should take a picture of two of the spoons, then send it to me with my along with my Kochi after I ship it to you to be thinned :wink:
 
Are you talking about TK's Bouchon or the one in Santa Barbara?
 
I had great results with the OG Lady Hamilton spoons .
The original oneida 1932 lady hamilton design is a great quenelle spoon (but the technique can only be improved by practice).I am reffering to one hand quenelles .

A great idea is to practice with a container full of butter and or a container full of practice ice cream . In a few weeks your quenelles are gonna look picture perfect

A great source for this is the internet of course but you will have great luck if you go to thrift and antique stores to look around . If you are lucky you will find a bunch of different things you might like as well for plating etc .And of course the spoons in an antique store can be very very cheap (depending).
