Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Vacu Vin 4882350 Stainless Steel Pineapple Easy Slicer
Customer Review: The good and the bad
Summary: 3 Stars
This stainless model cuts easily and effectively, but doesn't necessarily cut what you want, i.e. it makes great slices, but they may include core. I could see the value of a tool such as this, but didn't care for the plastic version because the slices were ragged and thin, and it was too hard for me to turn the tool, so I switched to this stainless version. It does resolve the problems of the plastic model: it cuts much more easily; cuts thicker slices; and you get a cleaner cut so the slices look more appealing. That said, directing the core part of the tool directly down the core of the fruit has eluded me so far. It starts out properly centered, but invariably goes off at an angle despite my best efforts to keep it centered, so the lower slices are edged with hard, inedible core and good fruit is left in the remaining shell.
I generally go for smaller pineapples, so the smaller diameter of the slicer on this tool isn't a problem for me, but not being able to pop a wedge into my mouth and expect to be able to eat it, is. Too many pieces have to be surgically separated from the core part or left half eaten.
I used to 'take down' a pineapple with a chef's knife. I had little waste and clean cuts, but unevenly sized pieces; still, I wonder what I've saved with this tool. I will continue to work to master the technique and leave the core behind, but I'm not sure the simple method wasn't the best after all.
