Product Description:
With the OXO Good Grips Cherry Pitter, baking cherry pies, canning cherries and making homemade preserves are no longer the pits. The Cherry Pitter features a removable splatter shield that directs juices downward and prevents them from soiling your work area. When not in use, the splatter shield fits inside the front chamber and a lock holds the Cherry Pitter closed for convenient storage. Sturdy, die-cast zinc construction removes pits with ease, and soft, comfortable non-slip handles absorb pressure while you squeeze. The cherry holder is extra large to accommodate Bing and Rainier cherries and has a recessed cup to securely hold smaller varieties when pitting. Also try the Cherry Pitter to prepare fresh cherries for small children. The Cherry Pitter should be placed in the dishwasher in its unlocked position.

Rating : - Cheap. Easy to use. Saves a ton of time.
I love cherries. When they're in season and cheap enough, I buy a ton of them. But I like to put them in smoothies and yogurt, which makes it necessary to remove the pit. I was doing with just a knife, which worked well enough but took a long time. Then, I read about this little gadget and bought it.

It works. It doesn't make the work instantaneous, but saves at least half of the time. And it's a lot more fun shooting the pit out with this guy than cutting the cherry in half.

It's cheap. If you eat a lot of cherries, it will save you time.
