I love fresh cherry season but hate the runny sticky mess. This easily punches the pit out of four cherries all at once. You have to pull out the stem and line them up on the tray, but snapping it down presses the pits out. There are warnings in the instructions about watching out for partial pits that may be left behind – I didn’t ever have that problem, but occasionally the pit did get left in the cherry. I just always checked for four pits each time and if it wasn’t there it was always easy to tell which one didn’t come out. Easy to use, solves a messy problem. I hate single-purpose kitchen tools but this one is worth it. It also locks shut to go in the back of the drawer until next cherry season.

Best thing since sliced bread! I had read some negative reviews about this tool not pitting cherries all the way but most of the reviews were positive. So I bought this cherry pitter and so glad that I did. It very easily pits cherries effortless and quickly. Having the tray is also very helpful because the juices and the pits are caught at the bottom. It takes minutes to pit 15-20 cherries. I don’t make pies but just use it to eat cherries without the pits. The top tray that holds the cherries lifts up and there are two different sizes for big and smaller cherries. If you need to make a pie or just want a quick way to pit cherries, I would definitely buy this cherry pitter.

Omg sooooooo much easier than those single cherry hand held ones that make a gigantic mess of your hands! Plus you can do 6 at once and it catches all the pits in the bottom. If youve never used one and are new to this stuff, like me, there is a little lock and unlock button on top. When you press down to remove the pits, just switch to unlock to open it back up and it pushes the cherries off the prongs too. Then close and lock again before the next cherries. Wah-la! Check your cherries though. Depending on the skin toughness, the skin may or may not release the pit. Ive only had it happen with maybe a half dozen out of literally 23 pounds of cherries I have pitted with this this year.

At first, I thought, I’m not purchasing a cherry pitter. I can just spit the seed out myself. But then I had a child and this child loves his cherries. I was tired of cutting them in half to get the seed out in fear of him swallowing the pit. He became a little older and was able to spit out the pit himself. However, his hands would get bloody red as would everything else he would touch – and it made my OCD core shudder.Then came along this handy-dandy cherry pitter. You can pit FOUR cherries at the same time. I don’t recommend your toddler trying this without supervision. But it has been a lifesaver! Yes, we only eat cherries in the summer when they are in season, but this handy-dandy gadget saves so much time and sanity knowing that my child will only eat the pit. It’s also nice because the pits all gather at the bottom and you can toss them out when you’re done or as your container fills up! Just a tip, make sure to check each cherry before passing them along to your child. Sometimes, the pit will get stuck just at the bottom of the cherry.

Cherry pitter where have you been all my life?!!! I didn’t even know this product existed until…well I don’t know how I came across this little treasure find but man, I am glad I did. I was pitting cherries (for smoothie bowls) one by one with a pairing knife *sad emoji* *gun emoji*. I hated it. BUT I love cherries so I kept at it. I found this at the end of cherry season but was able to use it a few times before the cherries ran out. It works really well. place the cherries on top in the four slots closest to the lip of the tray and simple press down in a quick and firm motion ( think hole punch, the kind that does a whole page), and presto! I can de-pit 4 cherries in a fifth of the time it takes me to do 1 by hand with a pairing knife. The only thing I DON’T like is that there are only 4 slots for cherries and the other four slots are for olives. They should make on specifically for olives and one specifically for cherries, that way you can do 8 at a time. I personally, don’t really like olives and have never bought a single can of them, much less tried pitting them, so half of this tray is useless to me.This device is easy to clean, the cherry/olive tray lifts right up and a quick and easy rinse in hot water is all it needs. I also really like that you can locked it closed using the tab at the top, it makes is real easy to store.

We had a “bumper” crop from our two trees this year and were naturally overwhelmed with cherries. I started shopping for some “help” and came across this item. After getting the hang of it I was able to pit a bag of cherries for the freezer much quicker than with a knife or the traditional pitter. Yes you do have to keep an eye out for a few that wind up with a pit, however I generally found that the pits are just still attached to the meat of the fruit and didn’t just pop out. I was able to see them each time. I do believe that the size and ripeness of the fruit have a huge bearing on the pitter’s effectiveness. My cherries (mostly bing) were not over ripe and so the skin was a bit tuffer so the pits may have clung to the fruit meat. None the less I give this one a two thumbs up: easy to clean and use. It is made of a good heavy plastic and should last a long time if it is not repeatedly slammed down hard.

We bought cherries infrequently in part due to the whole what to do with the seed… other than picking them out of our mouth. I volunteer on my son’s HS band boosters, and we do snack breaks for the kids during summer band (105* + in TX heat on the black top) to keep them hydrated, cool, and having fun. We preslice the fruit into bite sized bits so they can grab a piece and get back to marching. Cherries were on sale one week and a parent brought in a huge bag. Another booster went home and brought her cherry pitter. Yeah, added that to my kitchen gadget stash. It’s like a hole puncher for fruit. It is a little difficult to clean (the portion behind the puncher), but if you do it right away, just squirt soap and use your kitchen sprayer to rinse. We’ve been enjoying cherry coke and cherry lemonade. 🙂

I just tried this out and I’m very pleased. Great little gizmo for such a reasonable price. It didn’t take long to pit 3 pounds of cherries. Easy to use, simple, logical design. A couple of key things: 1. check the cherries as you take them out. Sometimes the pits are hanging on to the cherry but easy to remove and 2. wash the pitter immediately after you finish using it or it will be hard to get the juice and fibers out from between the top and the white interior “plate” that covers the “plungers.” I’m happy with my purchase.

Used for a couple years now to get prepare cherries for snacking.I’ve had a 99% success rate with removing pits. The failed cherries are pretty easy to ID since there is no “exit wound,” just a cross from where the mechanism missed the pit.It has not stained when washed off with water after use.Ended up giving some as gifts after I positive feedback on a the bowls of cherries I brought to a few playdates.I’m do not like single function kitchen tools, but this and the OXO strawberry huller (link below) are 2 tools that just work and really save time.https://www.amazon.com/OXO-Easy-Release-Strawberry-Huller-Tomato/dp/B00I3W2RJO

It’s really nice to be able to do 4 at once instead of 1 at a time, and the pit-catcher contains most of the mess and is big enough to not need to be emptied all the time. The action is smooth, it doesn’t mash the cherries, and it cleans up easily. It’s also compact enough to not feel like annoying clutter for the large part of the year when cherries aren’t in season.
