Hi All,
Not too long ago I visited my family in Seattle. It’s always fun because not only is Seattle a rockin’ place, but I get to see my 18 month old grandson, Jordan.
What’s not to love about that face? He’s really cute and very smart….
Ok, I digress! His mom and dad are really into eating healthy so a lot of his food is natural and organic. While there this time, mom was fixing fresh cherries and removing the pits. Now you know I’ve never met a tool I didn’t like, so I was fascinated by the pit remover tool she was using. I’d never seen one before, so this was new to me and I was anxious to give it a try. Who knew? It might be a must have for my ever growing kitchen tool collection!
Looks like something out of a Medieval torture scene, doesn’t it?
Lining it up was a bit tricky. But that’s just me.
Squeeze!
Tah Dah!
It does work, and I think if you have little kids and choking on pits is a concern, this is the tool to have. I’ve since seen several other pit removing tools, some fancier, some plastic, etc…but this is functional and easy to clean, and for folks like me, easy to use. Did I run out and buy one? Nope. But then, for me, part of the fun of fresh cherries is the ability to suck on the pits for a while, and I don’t have any little kids in the house. Just Zack and Zoey, my furry children.
Toodles,
