Apple Peelers, Cherry Pitters, Citrus Juicers, Strawberry Hullers, and Popsicle Molds for All the Fruity Jobs.
Fruit is wonderful and fruit is fiddly. Coring apples, pitting a bowl of cherries, hulling flat after flat of strawberries: the tasks that make you put off the pie or the jam. These little tools turn the fiddly part into the fun part.
This collection is exactly what the name promises: the cheerful, single-minded gadgets that make working with fruit fast, so you actually get to the cobbler, the jam, and the popsicles.
Peel, pit, juice, and chill.
- PIE AND SAUCE IN HALF THE TIME - the crank-operated Apple Peeler / Corer / Slicer peels, cores, and slices a whole apple in one spin, a game-changer come applesauce season.
- A bowl of cherries to pit? The Multi-Cherry Pitter pops the pits out several at a time, so cherry pie stops being an all-afternoon affair.
- Hulling strawberries by the flat? The Strawberry Huller pinches out the stem and core without wasting the good fruit around it.
- Fresh juice or lemonade? The 2-in-1 Juicer squeezes lemons, limes, and oranges and catches the seeds for you.
- (For the little ones and the summer.) The Silicone Popsicle Molds turn juice and fruit into homemade pops, and the Tot Grape Cutter halves grapes and berries safely for toddlers.
- Making jam? The Jam & Food Mill presses out the seeds and skins for smooth, spreadable results.
Fresh fruit is a lot more tempting when the prep isn't a chore.
