Review on Leifheit Cherry Stoner: Pit Catcher Container, Enhanced Ergonomic Handle, and Anti-Slip Rubber Feet by Jill Foster

Revainrating 1 out of 5

He doesn't get all the stones.

Advantages: Easy to clean if rinsed immediately after use. Don't let anything get stuck in any of the slots and dry out. Otherwise you are good. technology helps. In general, it's easier than using a knife on each of them. Cons: It doesn't go through all the holes. you have a job I've destroyed hundreds if not more than a thousand cherries with mine. With the best technique I can muster, I can reduce the odds of hitting a rock to 1 in 10, but that's not the whole technique. Too ripe and he doesn't lift the cherry to throw it in the bowl. Not ripe enough and the flesh of the cherries will cling too tightly to the pit and it will just bend in the fruit and not push through. Maybe there is a way to prepare the fruits that will help. Shall we microwave it for a few seconds to soften any hard cherries? All I know is that at best you have a hole to stick your finger through to make sure the bone is gone, or pull it out yourself. Ugliness: If you miss a bone, you could damage your juicer, your teeth, or your reputation for being the best. Cherrycake. There has to be something better than that. Technique is also important. You have to push down until you hit the hole. Then increase the pressure to push it through. If you're just a slap chop, get the hole out of the way. Most importantly, don't forget to pull the mechanism back hard to (hopefully) toss the pitted cherries into the bowl, otherwise the next one won't be centered properly and you'll end up missing the pit on that one. Also, don't trust the funnel. Just roll them out of your hands one at a time.
