Automatic Cherry Pitter

[Michael M]

It's the season and I'm tired of using the hand held one. Any ideas? Thanks.

[Carolyn Tillie]

I didn't know automatic ones existed for John-Q-Public. I thought all we could get were hand-held ones...

et voila!! Enjoy!! but pay for it first ...

Ihave two "high-volume" pitters.

This one

cherry pitter #1

and this one

cherry/plum pitter

which is great for large cherries, plums and large olives. (which do not fit well in the smaller one)

They may seem pricey but if you need to process a lot of fruit they are worth every penny.

Mine is cheaper ... but yours look better ...

Thanks as always, andiesenji, for once again proving to be the repository of all things culinary!!

My goodness.... I never knew!!!!

(But should've, huh?)

Personally, I put each cherry, one by one into my mouth and spit the pit afterwards. Simple, efficient and good fun.

today, as my boss and i were tediously picking the stems out of a pile of frozen huckleberries, he repeatedly asked "where are my commis?!?"

for those of you not in the restaurant industry, "commis" (i hope that's spelled correctly, it is a french word pronounced coe-mee) equals "kitchen slave".

that's the best automatic cherry pitter you'll find!

Here are a couple of photos to demonstrate how the dual pitter works.

As you can see, these ranier cherries are huge, far too large to fit in the regular cherry pitter.

The bing cherries are not small, in fact they are at the large end of the scale but still fit in the cherry side.

Ranier cherries in the "plum, large olive" side of the pitter.

Bing cherries in the cherry side - it does two at a time, there is a chute on each side which is why the thing is in the center of a large tray.
