OXO Good Grips Stainless Steel Pineapple Corer & Slicer,Silver/Black

This is a great pineapple corer.The core is easy to remove.Bought this for my parents.They had one before that was hard to use and then it broke.It's a great value and the design is perfect.

Does exactly what the description states plus has a gauge you can use to control thickness of slices . 1 inch, 2 inch or 3 inch.

Cuts and works perfectly. It's a bit difficult to remove once the pineapple rings are cut because of suction, but one could slice the outside of the pineapple from top to bottom to remove the rings. Have been enjoying fresh pineapple for the first time in my life due to this device.

Literally easy as 1 2 3 to use.

I bought this back in 2012 and just realized that I never reviewed it. Have used it more times than I can remember.This tool makes cutting pineapples very easy. The steps I always take are:1. Wash pineapple2. Cut off the top of the pineapple3. Measure the pineapple's height and make a mental note of its height on the tool itself. This helps ensure you know when you need to stop so the tool doesn't go past the bottom and onto your chopping board4. Place the tool onto the pineapple and gently start twisting. Do not apply force or you'll lose a lot of juice5. Keep twisting until you get towards the height you measured earlier6. Pull out the tool -- this will bring up the entire pineapple. Be mindful of any juice you bring up. You might want to save as much juice as you can so you can later have a delicious drink7. Remove the black handle from the tool so the pineapple can be removed8. Slice one side of the pineapple to separate the pineapple rings9. Remove the pineapple core from the center of the tool. You can either throw it away or slice them smaller to eat. They don't taste that bad and are perfectly edible10. Wash the toolYou will notice how much of the pineapple is left wasted, especially if it's wide. So, what I do next is to cut the pineapple shell in half and filet the remaining fruit meat.As long as the pineapple quality is good, you should have a pretty clean cut. The ease/difficulty of cutting also depends on the ripeness of the fruit.There are cheaper alternatives available for $7 or so. As long as they are stainless steel, they should be fine. Is the $21 of the OXO worth it? Probably not. I could purchase 3 of the $7 for the same price.

it works well

Love this!

GREAT addition to kitchen specialty tools. Produced presentation quality pineapple slices not butchered pieces. Simple to use.
