Oxo Good Grips Cherry Pitter

Editorial Review:

Product DescriptionWith 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.

- I love it!
I was killing my thumb removing cherry pits. This really works. It's amazing! I plan to give it as christmas gifts to my friends and family.

- Yep... it actually works.
Economical and effective... I'm satisfied.

8 or 9 cherries out of 10 are pitted perfectly without additional assistance. I pitted a whole bag of cherries in a matter of minutes. The cherries aren't squashed and the pits pop right out of the bottom. The whole thing is no larger than a can opener, doesn't require much force/pressure to use and works great -- RECOMMENDED.

- All the enjoyment...None of the nuisance.
I think this is a terrific product. I have always like OXO products and this is no exception. I cannot compare it to other cherry pitters since this is the first one I have ever used but I am very pleased with my purchase. I have always just eaten around the pit and tossed them out, or placed them in a trash bowl as I went, which never seemed like too much trouble. However, now that i have a four year old I was worried (of course) about him choking on the pits and trying to take them out for him made a huge mess so i looked on line and found this cherry pitter.

I chose this one partly because I had been so pleased with OXO in the past and part for the reviews on the splash guard. I found it pretty effortless to use, not much hand pressure needed. I had no trouble lining it up, the pits came right out and there was no splatter or mess which was great.

As a plus I have noticed how much more I have enjoyed cherry season this year now that i can simply remove all the pits in the kitchen and sit down to enjoy a nice big bowl without constantly managing the pits!

I would definitely buy this again and suggest it for friends.

What a little beauty. I bought this about the time we started getting the beautiful fresh cherries in the grocery store. As usual, I planned all sorts of dishes with the little darlings until reality set in and I realized that the cherry pitter I had been using was reluctant, at best. I hate pitting cherries by hand. I found this little gem on Amazon and it has been worth it's weight in cherry pie. Ok, it's not equal to pennicillin, but to my mind, it is a worth while invention.

The Cold, Hard Data of Soda Ice

Depending on whom you ask, either ice-fiends are suckers who pay for frozen water or ice-avoiders are cheapskates with a perverse attachment to warm fountain syrup. To settle this once and for all, we went to a local cineplex and bought three Cokes with varying amounts of cubes at 4 smackaroos each. Then we broke out our thermometers and measuring cups.
