Product Description
This European device cores a pineapple and removes the meat with as little waste as possible. Depending on the fruit's size, you snap on one of three corers. After slicing off the pineapple's top, you center the plastic corer on the flesh and begin turning it clockwise. When you reach the bottom, simply pull out the corer and, with it, the pineapple's juicy flesh in a neat, ready-to-eat stack. Use the intact shell to hold a fruit salad or tropical sorbet.
Amazon.com Review
Fresh pineapple has a tropical, delicious taste … but many folks can't figure out how to get past this fruit's thorny exterior to the sweet inside and resort to buying those perfect little rings in a can. This pineapple slicer peels, cores, and slices a fresh specimen in less than 30 seconds so there is no excuse for ever buying canned pineapple again. To use this ingenious little tool, you must first cut the top off of your fresh pineapple. Next, place the slicer in the middle of the pineapple and push down while turning the handle in a clockwise motion. Pull the slicer straight out of the pineapple and--voila!--your perfect little rings come out with the tool while the rough shell stays behind. Finally, simply slide the handle off the slicer and the pineapple rings slide off with it. The pineapple shell remains intact so you can use it as a dessert bowl or as a glass for piņa coladas. The slicer comes with three blades to tackle pineapples of any size. This tool has garnered several prestigious design awards from all over the world, including Germany's Award for Good Industrial Design, Holland's ION's Good Industrial Design award, and Japan's MITI Award for Excellent Foreign Product. --Cristina Vaamonde

 Such an easy way to cut up a pineapple. December 29, 2008
K. Dora (Whittier,California)
I used to struggle with cutting up pineapple until I found this product. Now there is no reason for me not to enjoy fresh pineapple.
 Marvelous Invention December 6, 2008
Nathan Mock (San Luis Obispo)
Why didn't I discover this gadget sooner? I've always loved fresh pineapples, but hated dealing with de-skinning and de-coring the things! Now, pineapples are ready to consume in less than 2 minutes.
The only downside is that you do end up wasting some of the pineapple because it is not a perfect fit.
Makes cutting a pineapple a breeze November 21, 2008
Tara Cotta (Cleveland, OH)
I've had my slicer/corer for over 6 years now and it still works great. There have been one or two occasions where the pineapple "shredded", but it must have been related either to the ripeness or type of the fruit itself. The vast majority of uses have produced even, neat spirals with little or no mess. I brought some pineapple in to work today and a couple of my co-workers thought I had bought it pre-sliced!
Yes, there have been a couple times when it's been more difficult than others to pull the meat out of the shell, but again this has been rare. And I've never had any problem with the handle being loose. I find myself buying pineapples much more often now because they were such a pain to cut before I found this tool. You can also use the shell afterward as a decorative fruit bowl.
Maybe it doesn't work well on Hawaaian pineapples, but I guess that's a small price to pay for living in Hawaii!
great product. September 23, 2008

I love pineapples but am too lazy to deal with peeling them etc. This product is a lifesaver. Now I can eat as many pineapples as I want and really fast too. My only grouse would be that the slices come out too thick, I was used to cutting them thinner when I used to peel them with a knife. But I might be able to live with that. Great great product , a must buy if u are a pineapple lover.
