Review on Kernex Westmark Cherry Stoner by Mike Mahfood

I have a (sour) cherry pie that produces buckets of fruit every year. Most cherry pits work well for large (sweet) cherries, but the plunger on these machines often doesn't hit the cherry in the right place. This Peter is just right. I hold the cherry by the stem, stick it through the slit in the bottom and bite into the pit. the pit speaks to the stem, and I dip the cherries in a bowl (with some vitamin C to prevent browning). 100% pitting on the first try for 5 pounds of cherries today. Pros: - The size is perfect for small cherries (cake/sour cherries). - The entire cob has a +-shaped cross-section: this pushes out the pit without breaking through the large fruit fork. Some other pits have a curved cylinder piston with a + end that tends to push the cherry slice into the waste bin. Bowl - Nice non-stick trim (easy to hand clean) - No annoying locking mechanism that many jugs come with. (A small plastic collar is included if you wish to keep the jug closed during storage.) - You can't beat the price. Cons: - Can be a bit small for large cherries.
