Stainless Steel Pineapple Easy Slicer $5.81 + free shipping

So, here is my method of cutting up a pineapple:

1. Wash outside thoroughly.
2. Cut off the top and bottom.
3. Cut in half across the width.
4. Lay the wider part of the top half on the board and then use a knife to cut off the outside skin.
5. Notch out the eyes from top moving in a spiral to the bottom.
6. Cut into quarters and then slice out the core.
7. Half the quarters, chunk them up, and put into container.
8. Repeat steps 4-7 for the bottom half.
9. EAT!

By the way, my favorite brand of pineapple that I can get where I live is the Del Monte Gold Extra Sweet Pineapple. I go for the ones that are large, feel heavy for their size, and are a nice green color on the outside with lime green-yellow highlights. I let it sit one day at home and then cut it up. If the outside is gold or brown, then it's already past it's prime (in my opinion)...

These things are not very useful. They are a pain to use, clean, and don't work very well. In the hundreds of pineapples that I have cut up, I have never seen one that grew perfectly straight with an even core. It is WAY faster and easier just to cut up the pineapple with a knife. I can peel, core, and cube a pineapple in less than five minutes and then only have a knife and cutting board to clean up. Plus, there is A LOT LESS wasted pineapple when you just use a knife.

Been looking to try one of these but have seen many different styles with some coring and cubing for you. I've always used a knife and find the cutting part fast and easy but hate the juicy mess and cleanup I'm left with. I just want one made in the us, japan, or similar country with standards.

Reviews on Amazon, LOL!!!

I bought this because I was really craving a Hawaiian burger and wanted to make some for myself. Little did I know that it would rekindle the fire in my relationship.

Our Tuesday nights are usually pretty dull... nothing good on TV... is it her turn to cook? My turn to cook? Should we eat out??

Now, we're both excited to use the the Pineapple Easy Slicer/Corer in all its glory on Tuesdays, Hawaiian burger nights!!! It works with four easy steps.. Take off the top of the pineapple, stick it in, twist it, and pull out! Easy peasy..

When we cook together on Tuesdays now, because the slicer/corer is so fun to use, we both want to have our hands on it!we can never decide who's turn it is to do the pineapple. We're usually a little shy with each other at first - not sure who should use the tool since it's so fun. Neither of us are assertive, but we're making progress. Our usual conversation as who's turn to use the Pineapple Easy Slicer/Corer goes like this:

Me: "Is it my turn or your turn?"
Her: "uhhh..um..I think it's your turn..."
Me: "It's ok baby, I know you love to use it.. you go ahead. Let me take the top off for you tough."
Her: "awww baby YOU ARE SO THOUGHTFUL! Loves you! OK, let me see if I can get it right this time.."
Me: "You got it baby,you can do it... just stick it in straight. You have to push really hard and jam it in there to get it started, Kay?"
Her: "k,this isn't my first rodeo y'know..I think I got it... I'm putting it in..."

Then she'd make this adorable noise as she's struggling to core out the pineapple because it's hard to turn.

Her: "My hand is getting tired.... do you wanna finish it?"
Me: "of course anything for you, my Precioussssss"(she loves LOTR)
Her: "Make sure you twist it all the way.. don't get it all twisted up too much, babe."
Me: "I think that's it. I got it."
Her: "Pull the entire thing out slowly, don't break it in there.."

We're both pretty anal so we hate it when the darn thin doesn't come out in one piece..At this point, I think we have the process down pat. I can pull it out perfectly in one piece all the time, 90% of the time. The key thing is you have to do it slow. If you break it off while pulling out things can get messy.

Tuesday nights are now truly a joy... Who knew that the Pineapple Easy Slicer, Corer would make Tuesday nights fun for us again.. We laugh, we cry, we talk and work together...and there's Hawaiian burgers.. What up!!

I guess the last thing I want to mention is that I read in Cosmo Magazine that there are other benefits for guys to having pineapple in your regular diet! Guys, do yourself a favor and Google it! (well, when you think about it, it's really for the girl ifyaknowwhatimean!)

I wish my knife skill is as good as you. Any tip on how to remove the eyes efficiently?

I have had the quite the opposite experience. I have yet to core in one swoop. Yes, there is a little bit of waste along the outside, but it takes on 30 seconds. There is virtually no mess to clean except the tool. The best part is the husk can holds liquids or the top can go back on for presentation.
