Far Guy ordered a new kitchen gadget. A pineapple cutter.
It worked slick...sometimes when you see stuff work on the Internet you wonder does it really work that slick? In this case it did. It took the core out and cut a spiral of pineapple.

I think I saw that on QVC a few years back. Glad to know it works. I may get one for my daughter as they eat lots of pineapple. It's probably cheaper now too! LOL!
Larry used to work for a Dutch based company that sold those, among other things relating to wine. I think they were one of the first companies to come up with idea, but there are lots of others now. We have one. I think they come in more than one size, so that you can pick the best one for the size of your pineapple. Too big and you end up with skin bits still stuck on, and too small, a lot of pineapple is left on the inside of the skin. Your's looks just right!
I have seen those advertised and wondered if it worked well. We love fresh pineapple. We became hooked on it while in Hawaii. In your comment on my blog you said you only use dpn's. That's what I use too. The Hermione pattern is worked on 64 stitches and I just divide them over three needles, 16, 32,16. It works great! I hope that encourages you to give them a try. You could always call or text me if you have questions on how I do it. Here's my number 509-991-2875. Blessings, Betsy
My husband is a sucker for new gadgets...and I am a sucker for fresh pineapple...which he gets to cut open. He bought one of those and yes, indeed, it works great. He's happy, I'm happy, and one pineapple is more than two people can eat in one sitting.
Thanks for stopping by! I appreciate your comments! If you have a question I will try to answer it here. I no longer accept anonymous comments. All comments will be approved before posting...due to spammers...may the fleas of a thousand camels infest every hair on his body. Connie
Cool!!! Fresh pineapple is so good but such a pain to slice.
ReplyDeleteI have not bought one of these in ages! I epect the tool would make it easier.
ReplyDeleteAlways nice to know if those "as seen on TV" gadgets work. I should get one myself.
ReplyDeleteGlad it works as well as advertized.

ReplyDeleteI saw this on Kay's blog from Hawaii. She thought it worked great, too. I don't eat fresh pineapple, though, because it makes my tongue sore. :-)
ReplyDeleteFresh pineapple is delicious with just a sprinkle of salt.
ReplyDeleteOh what fun that would be. I love pineapple and that would mean upside down cake too.

ReplyDeleteI want one!
ReplyDeleteI have one too! They do work wonderful. We bought ours on Amazon and it's a metal one. Makes eating pineapple so enjoyable!
ReplyDeleteGlad something works well from those TV ads--LOL! ;)
ReplyDeleteThat is a clever gadget. I may have to check into that.
ReplyDeleteThat is neat!

ReplyDeleteThat looks like a handy gadget. I love fresh pineapple!
ReplyDeleteIt does look very handy. I looked up that brand on Amazon.ca but couldn't find it. There were no less than 49 other brands though.
ReplyDeleteNice, fresh pineapple tastes so good
ReplyDeleteSince I buy a fresh pineapple only once or twice a year, I don't think I need that.
ReplyDeleteCool gadget.
ReplyDeleteVery nice! I love pineapple...
