emporte-pièce melon baller Explanation: What they could be talking about here is a melon-baller. I have learned that emporte-pièce can be many things, such as a pastry cutter and what we would call a cookie cutter in the States. Just an idea.

It seems so me that they are encouraging you to cut the pear in slices before you take out the seeds. This may be so that the pear slices stay "whole" enough for a tart or a presentation in which they should look presentable. They are perhaps suggesting a pastry cutter or even a small cookie cutter so that all the slices will be uniform with a little crescent where the seeds used to be. This is really just an idea. |
