Description of Norpro Pineapple Cutter
The flavor of a ripe, juicy pineapple is absolutely ambrosial, but you've got to concede, preparing them isn't a lot of fun. In fact it can be downright dangerous as you try to peel of the tough skin with a knife. This gizmo has heavy duty riveted stainless steel cutting blades and a comfy plastic handle. It eases through peel and cores at the same time, leaving you a hollow pineapple cylinder that can be sliced into rings or chunks.Except for its perky yellow plastic handle, the Norpro deluxe pineapple cutter is a formidable weapon, resembling something a member of the Coast Guard might carry to investigate a shark attack. A muzzle of spiked teeth, just shy of 3-1/2 inches in diameter, the cutter looks vaguely evil. The package directions make it sound easy: Slice the pineapple top 1 inch below leaves; press down with even pressure while turning the cutter to the left until you reach the fruit's bottom. But pressing down and turning against the resistance of fibrous pineapple pulp is harder than it looks. The cutting blades are not adjustable and won't cut through rind, so you must use a pineapple measuring at least 4 inches in diameter. If you are soft of heart and weak of muscle, just switch to cans or pay the extra bucks for presliced pineapple chunks in the produce section. But if you don't mind wrestling with your food and you want an alternative to the challenges of hand carving, your efforts will produce a spiffy hollow tube of juicy pineapple flesh ready to slice into rings or chunks for fruit salads, desserts, or baked-ham garnish. Pineapple juice is highly acidic, so follow the care instructions strictly. --Carol Gnojewski
