Pitters

Pitters are specialized kitchen tools designed to make the task of removing pits and cores from fruits and vegetables easy and efficient. These tools are particularly popular among home cooks and professional chefs who want to save time and effort when preparing fresh produce. Pitters allow you to quickly and cleanly remove inedible parts, ensuring that fruits and vegetables are ready to eat, cook, or serve with minimal waste and mess. Enhancing the convenience and speed in your kitchen, pitters are usually straightforward to use and can be integrated seamlessly into daily cooking routines, whether for preparing snacks, salads, garnishes, or larger meals.

Different types of pitters cater to various fruits and vegetables based on their size and structure. For example, Ball Punch tools are great for removing pits from small fruits like cherries, while an Apple corer + apple divider efficiently cores and slices apples in one simple motion. Mango slicers are designed to cleanly separate the fleshy fruit from the pit, and Pomegranate corers make it easier to remove the seeds without a mess. Olive destoners streamline the process of de-pitting olives for appetizers and cooking. The Vegetable cutter subtype offers multipurpose use by chopping and slicing different vegetables. For more specific tasks, tools like Stalk removers are ideal for de-stemming strawberries, and Kirschentsteiner is for removing cherries’ pits. The Pineapple slicer, Plum pitters, and Avocado slicer each cater to their particular fruit, enabling you to quickly prepare these otherwise challenging foods.

Several top brands stand out in the market for their high-quality pitters. OXO offers the popular Good Grips cherry/olive corer, which is known for its ergonomic design and efficiency. The GEFU Kirschentkerner 'Corer' is another excellent option, specifically designed for cherries. WMF provides versatile tools such as the Apple divider and Fruit slicer, which are perfect for those who need multifunctional capabilities. Leifheit and Westmark both provide high-performing Cherrymat pitters that are highly efficient for frequent use. These brands highlight the variety and specialization available within the descaler type, ensuring that there’s a tool for every kitchen need. more
