Not sure how strong/durable this is; Can this be used for other purposes, i.e.- make melon balls, meatballs, or as a mini icecream scooper?

It's not very strong ... You can feel it flex a little with the dough. I suppose in the case of tender ripened melons or softened ice cream you could... But that would be an exception not a rule.

It is durable, but I wouldn't play basket ball with it. It keeps ingredients separated until you are ready to eat.

I wouldn't try it. It is cylindrical; don't believe it would hold up well under "kitchen" use. Knives being put into it to dip butter out, etc. would most likely scratch it; and it would also probably dent easily if banged against other items like on a kitchen countertop. It is probably the thickness of a can such as a soup can...and the edges do NOT have a bead or "Thick" type border on the edge.....decorative for the most part...good for cottonballs, q-tips, etc.....

Yes, it holds up well. Seems to be a good-quality stainless steel. As to its effectiveness as a scooper, I'm on the fence on that question.

IM sure you can.. It's strongstrong enough to crack carrots beta etc, frozen bananas and other fruit shouldn't be a problem...it's actually better with hard substances then it is with softer ones like leafy greens

It could probably handle it for a short amount of time-daily, probably not-i would go with the heavier duty model. We use ours daily for salad dressings, homemade mayo, and pureeing soups but usually nothing more than veggies are being pureed into the soup. Hope this helps :)

I've never tried, but I don't think it's made for that. Seems to me the plastic wouldn't hold up very well.

Probably not. Too light weight. Designed for beverages that require mixing but not pulverizing. I used for juice with small amount of protein powder, or stirring up chocolate milk. Mine didn't last but a couple of weeks, using only 1 or 2x/day. Battery OK, mixer stopped working. I suggest looking at the baby food grinders that have a crank. Seem to range about $9-15. They are small and easy to take apart to wash, so you don't have to deal with a big blender. I saw one that works like a sieve in a bowl, so you mash the food and the puree goes into the bowl. Lift out the sieve and serve from bowl. If you cook rice soft enough, you can mash the rice thru any sieve you have(larger mesh is best). Might even be able to mash it fine enough with a fork.

It isn't strong enough for that. It is just for mixing liquids. I can recommend the Ninja for baby food.

Yes - but please note it is not a real sturdy product. Our intention was to use it for dry oatmeal and the flakes would leak from the turning mechanism. We ended up using it to dispense almonds and have had better luck.

The spork is made from titanium. I don't think it'll bend unless you try to use it as a tool. If you just use it to eat food and stir food, you'll be fine.

This sounds crazy but my son ripped open his mighty beans and used the smaller sized metal balls/bearings. you might also use bearings or make balls with femo/clay idk just throwing it out there

Yes. I use it for ice cream, watermelon and cantaloupe. I wouldn't hesitate to buy it again.

I have never done that, I just use mine for making candy. But I don't see why not, there are alot of different silicone pans ;-)

I purchased this to store homemade ice cream. Unfortunately, the container broke when scooping out ice cream.

I don't think it is strong enough to do stuff like beat eggs or whisk cookies. It is great for mixing my coffee with cream though.

I would say the same as S. Vernon: it should work a few times before it breaks. The plastic bowl is not strong enough to resist to such a pressure (for very tough grains like barley, wheat berries,...). It works with nuts but I feel I shouldn't do it too often either.
