OXO Stainless Steel Pineapple Corer & Slicer, standart

We purchased this to make pineapple carving easy. I was tired of constantly trying to trim pineapples. Now, I can get a pineapple sliced and cored in about 60 seconds! It really works well. We've had it for about 9 months had have probably carved over 2-dozen pineapples. We typically go through 1 to 2 pineapples per week now that we have the OXO Good Grips slicer. You just slice the top off, position the slicer on the top and then turn it (and use the ratchet to make it easier). In about 60 seconds, you have a cored, sliced pineapple. I would highly recommend this item if you like pineapple. We find we are eating more of it since we have it because it is so easy to slice. Also, pineapples need to be sliced after you get them home from the store or they will quickly turn on you and rot. This device stops us from procrastinating since it is such a quick and easy slicing process. You do need some hand strength to get it started though. I would not recommend the plastic versions of this that I have seen in a few stores. Having the steel blade and the ratcheting function is extremely helpful. I can't imagine the plastic blade lasting or being as effective at slicing as the steel one from OXO. Pros: Slices and cores pineapples in about 60 seconds Makes uniform circle slices without the core Very easy to use Easy cleanup Cons: You need decent hand strength to hold the pineapple and turn the blade when you first start it. Once you get it started though, it is extremely easy to slice through the rest of the pineapple. I have no issue with it and neither does my wife. It could be a challenge for an elderly person with arthritis in their hands, but I don't know. We purchased 3 more of them for gifts for friends (all women) and they all like it use it frequently. I hope this helps...

I love pineapple, especially fresh pineapple. I have spent years buying my beloved fruit already cut up and sold in those clear plastic, half quart, "convenience" containers at the grocery store. Yes, I was completely intimidated by the stack of whole, fresh from the field, pineapples, despite the clear monitary savings they offered. Because of my reluctance to attempt to remove the delicious fruit from its spiney skin, I paid three times as much for some unknown person to cut up my pineapple and drop it in a plastic tub. All this changed when I discovered the OXO Good Grips Stainless Steel Ratcheting Pineapple Slicer! This little tool is fabulous!!! It peals and cores a fresh pineapple in less than a minute. Simply slice off the top of the pineapple and use the OXO tool to create a long coil of uniformly cut, rings of pineapple. The hard core of the fruit is seperated and out slides a golden cylinder of deliciousness. I was amazed at how much better this pineapple tastes than that precut stuff I had been buying. The tool has already paid for itself in the money I have saved from the prepackaged stuff I used to buy. Don't hesitate to purchase this tool. It is easy to use, easy to clean, and easy to store. The ratcheting handle allows you to work faster and to apply consistent pressure as you work. There are even measuring marks on the cylinder of the tool to help insure you don't cut through the bottom of the fruit. The intact skin left after you remove the fruit makes a unique serving container or even a nifty drinking vessel. Iced tea served in a fresh pineapple cup is delicious and delightful, though I do recommend using a straw when serving. You really can't go wrong with this product. Just for clarification, I have received NO compensation for my review. I truly just like this tool this much.

Better than the cheaper models. Seams are smooth. Cheaper models have rough seams - pineapple bits get caught and not easy to remove the bits. This model is definitely worth the higher price.

I love pineapples. They're far-and-away my favorite fruit. I could probably eat a whole pineapple in one sitting, although I've admittedly never done it. I also had no idea such a tool for slicing and coring a pineapple existed. So, I bought it and gave it a go. It's actually really easy to use and quite simple in it's design. Essentially, the top of the pineapple gets cut off with a sharp knife, you roughly measure the depth of your pineapple with a gauge etched into the side of the tool, center the cutter in the pineapple, push down and turn. The handle ratchets, which is ingenious, so you can go about a half turn or so, get new leverage and keep going. Once you cut down to the mark you measured earlier the whole thing lifts out and you're left with the shell of the pineapple. The inedible core is embedded inside the hollow part of the tool and a beautiful spiral of delicious pineapple is left on the outside. The handle comes off the tool very easily which allows you to slide the spiral of fruit off. The only difficult part I've encountered is the core. Sometimes it will really wedge itself inside the hollow part of the tool and become difficult to push out. They all come out eventually, but some are a bit more stubborn than others. I'd say that's probably just the way it is; I doubt there's much that can be done to change it. It's comfortable and relatively easy to clean, aside from the aforementioned stuck core problem I've had. Overall, it's about a billion times faster and easier to cut a pineapple with this thing than doing with a knife like a barbarian.

Super easy to get off pineapple meat with out any mess!!!! product has a good quality and sharp

This pineapple cutter is the best one I’ve ever had. If you like pineapples, you should definitely get it. It cuts them very well, and the handle has a convenient turn-lock feature that makes it easy to turn. Cleaning it is also a breeze; I can just throw it straight into the dishwasher after I’m done. It’s held up well over the past few months, with no rust or any other issues.

Absolutely love this. Now I can enjoy my pineapples within minutes.

Produit de très bonne qualité, bonne prise en main, facile à nettoyer

Took a few goes to get it right. If you're not careful and go off centres you end up straying to the side and going through the outside skin and wasting half the pineapple. Once you get this right it makes cutting up a pineapple easy as, minimal mess or skin in the final edible part. Have found cutting the bottom off so you're working on a flat bottomed pineapple that doesn't roll each time you twist the cutter deeper works best. Once you remove the pineapple from the inside there's usually about half a cup of fresh juice inside that you cam drink straight from the pineapple.

Very strong and very useful

Excelente producto, cumplio con todas mis expectativas, fácil de usar y limpiar, realmente me facilito el obtener la fruta rápidamente.
