OXO Cherry Pitter:
With the OXO Good Grips Cherry Pitter, baking cherry pies, canning cherries and making homemade preserves are no longer the pits. The Cherry Pitter features a removable splatter shield that directs juices downward and prevents them from soiling your work area. When not in use, the splatter shield fits inside the front chamber and a lock holds the Cherry Pitter closed for convenient storage. Sturdy, die-cast zinc construction removes pits with ease, and soft, comfortable non-slip handles absorb pressure while you squeeze. The cherry holder is extra large to accommodate Bing and Rainier cherries and has a recessed cup to securely hold smaller varieties when pitting. Also try the Cherry Pitter to prepare fresh cherries for small children. The Cherry Pitter should be placed in the dishwasher in its unlocked position.
by Peggy (Washington, DC) 1 review The OXO Cherry Pitter is one of those rare products that does exactly what is says it does, and with minimal effort. I discovered this AFTER painstakingly pitting 3 pounds of cherries by hand for a cold cherry soup. The next time I made the recipe it took about half the time, using this tool. It is well made, easy to use, and worth the money. I really try not to buy tools that have such limited uses but in this case it's totally worth it.
by Valerie (Harrison, AR) 1 review We have small cherries and i was disappointed when I tried using the cherry pitter on them. It tore the cherries to pieces and didnt remove the pit. I dont know how it will work on bigger cherries, but for our purposes it is useless.
