Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Vacu Vin 4882350 Stainless Steel Pineapple Easy Slicer
Customer Review: A Pineapple Lovers Dream Tool
Summary: 5 Stars
Slicing pineapples could not be easier with this stainless steel pineapple slicer. Clean up is a breeze. My husband had no trouble using the slicer and sliced 3 pineapples in less than 5 minutes.
You do need to use a little strength to turn the pineapple slicer and it helps if you apply pressure with a nice even motion to get the uniform pineapple rings. If you want to use the pineapple shell as a drink holder, then be careful not to cut too far down to the bottom.
Nice to have a small, inexpensive tool that actually works!
Customer Review: It's GREAT
Summary: 5 Stars
It's strong and easy to use. Just slice the top off the pineapple, put the slicer on top and turn, it cuts and cores in less than a minute and you have the pineapple sliced and ready to eat. Plus you can use the remaining shell as a cup or bowl. No more slicing the pineapple in half and then slicing the halfs again and again to get wedges and then trying to cut off the outer skin and picking out the "eyes" that remain in the pieces , now you still had to cut the core off and each wedge into pieces -- it was a lot of work and always made a mess.Customer Review: very cool
Summary: 4 Stars
I can't believe how well this works! It is lots of fun and cuts perfect spirals. A nice tropical cup is leftover too which will be fun to do this summer!
I gave it a 4 because there is a small piece of black plastic that either broke or fell out, we have to stick a little stick in the hole (near the handle) to make it work. Not sure if we lost the piece or if it broke. Be careful not to lose it when you buy and you should be fine.
Still well worth it even with that problem. We will be eating lots more pineapple now.
Customer Review: Such a great product!
Summary: 5 Stars
This pineapple slicer really does work. It does waste more of the pineapple than if you were cutting it with a knife, but it is sooooo much easier and less messy than the traditional way. As another reviewer suggested, don't cut too far down if you want to use the shell to drink out of or to serve something in it. The core does not remain in the shell, but you will have to use something to push it out of the slicer...I usually use the handle of a wooden spoon. We eat pineapples a lot more often thanks to this great product!Customer Review: A must buy if you like pineapples
Summary: 5 Stars
For a long time I had stopped buying "pineapples" because cutting it is a pain! Since I bought this it takes me only 30seconds to cut that monstrous fruit. I have bought many of these as gifts for family and friends and it has always been appreciated. The cutter has become a kitchen essential just like a can opener for me. The steel cutter works better than the plastic one and amazon sells it for a very competitive price. The only other place I have found this product is in William Sonoma, but it is more expensive.
