Leifheit Cherry Pitter with Collector

The pitter makes it easier than ever to remove cherry or olive pits quickly and without a sticky or squishy mess. To operate, simply place the cherry or olive in the device and give the ergonomic handle a firm squeeze. The device operates off of a spring-assisted hinge, making it exceptionally simple to use even single-handedly. The plunger component will quickly and neatly push the pit out leaving the cherry or olive intact. To remove the pit from the device, just give it another squeeze and the pit will fall through the collector funnel into a bowl or waste basket. Once your pitting tasks are complete, simply detach the collector bin to rinse and empty your bowl full of cherry pits into the garbage can. This cherry pitter is a must-have for fruit-canning or preparing fruit trays in a jiffy. And bakers will certainly find it useful when preparing their next cherry pie or strudel. Of course, it's handy to have around the house for casual snacking instances as well. Built from quality, rust-resistant stainless steel and durable ABS plastic, the Leifheit cherry pitter with stone catcher is built to last a lifetime (and handwashing is recommended to ensure its longevity). When not in use, the pitter locks into its closed position with a built in lever. Compact and low profile, the pitter won't take up valuable space in your kitchen gadget drawer. In its locked state, the device measures 5.5 in. x 4.5 in. x 1.25 in.
