Curiosity kitchen gadgets: pitters

Trying to define gadgets theme more precisely.
I'm writing about kitchen gadgets you either don't need or never knew you needed but they actually may turn out to be of practical use.

Today I'm exploring pitters for mango, avocado, peach, cherry & olives (cherry-olive pitters a.k.a. cherry stoners,  cherry pits or cherrystones removers, strawberry (speaking of strawberry it's a hulling not pitting).



Mango Pitter (OXO® Mango Pitter) @ Crate and Barrel $13

Avocado tool - good for scooping, pitting and slicing (Kuhn Rikon Avocado Knife Colori @ Sur La Table or Amazon $12)





Peach pitter (Norpro 5113 Grip EZ Peach Wedger and Pitter @ Amazon $10 or exclusive @ Williams-Sonoma $13)


Cherry-Olive pitter, metal alloy (no name made in China @ Crate and Barrel $8)

Cherry pitter (Rösle® Cherry Pitter @ Sur La Table $60)





Multiple cherry pitter (TSM Products Stainless Steel Cherry Stoner @ Amazon $280)


Can't have enough of cherry pitters, at least a dozen is left out in the dark unrepresented. Some made in US!

Strawberry huller (no name made in China @ Crate and Barrel or Chef'n StemGem Strawberry Stem Remover @ Amazon $8)







Should move to corers, slicers and stuffers, mashers,  choppers, dicers and mincers, pounders, ricers and scoopers. And not forget about muddlers.
