Summary: 4 Stars
The cherry pitter worked as advertised. Although it will not fully get the seed out of all the cherries It gets the majority and I don't see any other way to do it as efficient as the pitter does.Customer Review: love it!
Summary: 5 Stars
I love this cherry pitter! It was so easy to use that my 2,4, & 6 year old kids did all of the pitting for me (until they got bored). Very easy to use and very easy to clean.Customer Review: makes pitting a breeze!
Summary: 4 Stars
I purchased this pitter to make use of the small pie cherries that grow on my property. I'd never bothered picking them because pitting with a knife left me with nothing usable, and regular cherry pitters were always made for large cherries. This pitter gets a solid two thumbs up for me, for pitting large amounts of pie cherries. The reason I did not rate it 5 stars is that #1. It misses the pit in about 1 in 8 small cherries. This is an acceptable average, though, and removing each cherry with a squeeze identifies which were not wholly pitting. Reason #2. It is somewhat difficult to clean. Any cherry juice that gets stuck to the upper section is all but impossible to remove without soaking and scrubbing with along brush. Washing immediately seems to help. Despite these drawbacks I would ABSOLUTELY recommend this pitter to anyone interested in processing large amounts of cherries quickly. It's very easy on the hands and the work goes quickly. This little gadget turned what has been, in years past, a tree full of bird food into a pantry full of canned cherry preserves and pie filling!
Unrelated, but worth mentioning to cherry growers- I've never been able to keep the birds off my cherry tree when the cherries got ripe, but in the past year we started keeping hens and ducks for eggs. During the day they rest and play under the cherry tree- apparently these big birds moving around underneath has totally scared off the birds who'd be eating my cherries!
