Student flat favourite
Pineapple is my one healthy habit and this makes it actually doable in a tiny shared kitchen. Hardly any board space needed, just a plate underneath to catch the drips.

Pineapple Corer and Slicer
R219.99
Cutting a pineapple with a knife means trimming skin, digging out eyes and losing fruit to both. A pineapple corer lifts the flesh out of the shell in one spiral and leaves the core in place.

- Spiral slices, core left in
- Stainless steel tube and blade
- 18 cm tall, 8.5 cm blade
- Shell left whole for serving
How to use it
Top, twist, lift
- 01
Cut off the top
Slice the crown off about 2 cm below the leaves so the flat top of the fruit shows.
- 02
Twist down
Centre the corer over the core, press and turn the handle clockwise until the blade nears the base. Stop before it cuts through the bottom.
- 03
Lift and slide off
Pull straight up. The fruit comes out in a spiral on the tube; slide it off or cut along one side for rings.
Close up
What each part does
Handle
A wide T grip, so you can turn it with the whole hand as the blade works down.
Core tube
The 3 cm steel tube cuts round the woody centre and leaves it standing in the shell.
Ring blade
A serrated ring 8.5 cm across, set at an angle, so each turn cuts one more ring of the spiral.
Compared
Corer or knife?
A knife wastes less on a very small or oddly shaped pineapple. On an average fruit the corer is quicker, and the rings come out even.
| Compared | This productCorer | Chef's knife | Tinned rings |
|---|---|---|---|
| Core removed | Yes | By hand | Yes |
| Even rings | Yes | No | Yes |
| Shell left whole | Yes | No | No |
| Fresh fruit | Yes | Yes | No |
Fruit wider than the 8.5 cm blade leaves a layer of flesh in the shell. Scrape it out with a spoon for smoothies.
Questions
The blade cuts an 8.5 cm cylinder of fruit. On a pineapple narrower than about 10 cm it reaches the skin, so some slices come out with a rind edge to trim off.
It does not peel the outside. It lifts the flesh out of the skin in one piece, leaving the shell behind, which you can use as a bowl.
Hold the corer upright over a board and slide the spiral down off the tube with your other hand. Cut once down one side of the spiral to get separate rings.
The black corer has a curved grip; the yellow and green ones have a flat T handle. The supplier lists the same 18 cm height, tube and blade for all three, so pick the grip you prefer.

Pineapple juice for the week
Blend a spiral with a splash of water and you've got juice. Breakfast sorted.

Very good, a touch large
Great tool. It's a big gadget for a small drawer, but it earns its place.

Rings for gammon
Cut down one side of the spiral and you get proper rings for gammon and pineapple, which my husband was very happy about since he's been asking for it for months. Much nicer than the tinned rings and they hold together well under the grill. Kept the leftover chunks in the shell in the fridge with cling film over the top for the next day.

Hated cutting pineapple, loved this
Pineapples used to sit in the fruit bowl until they went off because I couldn't be bothered. Not anymore. The bowl was a graveyard of rotting fruit I felt guilty about. Now I buy one on Friday, twist it out on Saturday morning, and we've eaten the lot by Monday. Wish I'd tried one years ago.

Pina colada night
Made pina coladas for a hen do and this got through four pineapples in no time. Saved the shells and served the drinks in them, which went down a storm.

Pineapple chicken
Made sweet and sour chicken with fresh pineapple. Chunks cut from the spiral were the right size.
