Efficient Fruit Pitting Made Easy: Norpro Cherry Olive Pitter with Cup and Shield Review

I love this item. It's so nice now to enjoy cherries in a fruit salad. The only downside is that the mug regularly falls off the floor.

Where have you been all my life! Easy to use and clean. I cut 2 bowls of cherry granola in 5 minutes. I don't bother with juice either, my shirt and hand stay clean throughout the process. I love it and recommend it.

I've had a cherry crutch for years but this new one is much better. It keeps the bones under him, which keeps them from flying around, as well as the sap. I highly recommend this cherry stoner. I haven't used it with olives, but I suppose it should work just as well.

Works great. Put the stem down and squeeze. I'm not even sure how it works, but it's awesome. The hole isn't that big and I haven't tried it on olives yet, but it works great for me and I rarely give 5 stars. A small extension allows you to make several without emptying them. I saw in some reviews that there were spatters but I didn't have any. I think the trick is to put the stem down so the bone pushes out.

Works great on cherry! I haven't tried it with olives yet. I bought two for my young children. It is very easy to use and helps not to tire your hands like when using a cherry stone. Once a year we removed about 50 pounds of cherries and they got the job done! Always check your cherries to make sure the pit isn't clinging to a tiny bit of cherry pulp, but as long as you do, you're fine!

This stoner perfectly pits 6 pounds of cherries. I had no problems with that at all. Obviously not the right pitter for those who need a lot of bone in a short amount of time (it took 40 minutes to put on a few pounds), but it was spot on for me. Easy to use, easy to clean. Cherries squirt juice so wear an apron but that was the only negative and it's certainly not the petter's fault. And if you'd rather leave the stalk, just set the cherry aside instead of over-stemming.

Every summer I treat myself to a huge amount of cherries until the season and what is not eaten, canned or frozen. Every year I wish I had a cherry pit, but I never want to spend too much on one when I can just scoop out the pit with a chopstick for free. This year I found this little gem at a low price and it's great! My young children found him a lot of fun to work with and he quickly put on a few pounds of cherries this summer. I accidentally bought some pitted olives and they worked great…
