This European device cores a pineapple and removes the meat with as little waste as possible. Depending on the fruit's size, you snap on one of three corers. After slicing off the pineapple's top, you center the plastic corer on the flesh and begin turning it clockwise. When you reach the bottom, simply pull out the corer and, with it, the pineapple's juicy flesh in a neat, ready-to-eat stack. Use the intact shell to hold a fruit salad or tropical sorbet.

Fresh pineapple has a tropical, delicious taste … but many folks can’t figure out how to get past this fruit’s thorny exterior to the sweet inside and resort to buying those perfect little rings in a can. This pineapple slicer peels, cores, and slices a fresh specimen in less than 30 seconds so there is no excuse for ever buying canned pineapple again. To use this ingenious little tool, you must first cut the top off of your fresh pineapple. Next, place the slicer in the middle of the pineapple and push down while turning the handle in a clockwise motion. Pull the slicer straight out of the pineapple and--voila!--your perfect little rings come out with the tool while the rough shell stays behind. Finally, simply slide the handle off the slicer and the pineapple rings slide off with it. The pineapple shell remains intact so you can use it as a dessert bowl or as a glass for piña coladas. The slicer comes with three blades to tackle pineapples of any size. This tool has garnered several prestigious design awards from all over the world, including Germany’s Award for Good Industrial Design, Holland’s ION’s Good Industrial Design award, and Japan’s MITI Award for Excellent Foreign Product. --Cristina Vaamonde
The Clark's Take on the Pineapple Slicer (2009-06-28)
We first saw one of these slicers on a sailboat charter in the US Virgin Is. and were impressed with its capability. On returning home, we bought one for our use, and one as a gift. Simple design and very functional.

Great buy (2009-06-15)
I shopped all over the internet for one of these, and not only was this one the least expensive, but it also came with three different size cutting tools. It is so easy to use. And with three different size cutting tools, you'll have the right size to use on any pineapple. The handle easily snaps on and off. All four pieces are so easy to clean; you just rinse off. If you love fresh pineapple, this makes serving it a breeze. Definately a neat kitchen gaget.
I Wish I Had This Years Ago! (2009-05-29)
The last time I visited my mother she used this product. I was impressed but figured I didn't need any more gadgets in the kitchen. Then I started buying pineapples on sale and cutting them up at home. I forgot what a mess it was and how much time it took, even with the best of knives. I always end up with pineapple juice everywhere and bits of brown spots on the outside of my slices since I try to get the most out of the pineapple.
I had to order this and see for myself how easy it was to use it.
It arrived today and I had a pineapple cut and sliced in less than 30 seconds. You cut off the top, choose the slicer part that best fits the size of your pineapple (small, medium, large), center it on the core and start turning. It was easy to do and out came a perfectly cut pineapple with very little mess and no waste.
If you like fresh pineapple, forget the knives and cutting boards, this is the only way to go.

Makes short work of having fresh pineapple in a snap. The removable sized cutters transfer very easily and cut the same way. I highly recommend. An small inexpensive tool that makes a simple pleasure come to life!
Amazing invention, save time and money... and get a serving dish out of it too! (2009-05-02)
I love fresh pineapple, I could eat it everyday happily. I however hate cutting up pineapples and hate spending $5 for a precut one at the grocery. I realized my local warehouse store sells pineapples for around $2.99. Purchased a couple and ended up waiting for my husband to cut them up for me. I saw this and thought why not try it. I thought it would be hard to do, messy, not actually work... WRONG WRONG WRONG. This thing is amazing. I love that it comes with three different sizes, the medium was perfect for my pineapple today, quick slice off the top and in less then a min of very easy turning I had the whole pineapple sliced and removed leaving me with a great pineapple "bowl" to use for a pinacolada, fruit salad bowl, or my planned use: to serve up my fresh pineapple sorbet. I couldn't be happier with this tool, quick, easy, cheap, and effective!
