4 hours ago, Margaret Pilgrim said:I use something like this for olives and cherries. Easy and efficient.
The first "one use" kitchen tool I ever bought was an olive pitter in a market in Desenzano del Garda, Italy in the eary 1970s. I still have it, but it's on the other side of the planet.
Here, I use this one which came free with a box of cherries when I was hospitalised 4 years ago.
Prior to acquiring this, I used the usual Chinese method of holding the olive ot cherry between the thumb and forefinger of the left hand and pushing a chopstick into the blunt end. Probably quicker than the dedicated tool and a chopstick is easier to clean!
