OXO cherry and olive pitter Good Grips 1071499MLNYK manual kitchen tool

The OXO Good Grips cherry and olive pitter is a compact manual kitchen tool designed to remove pits quickly and cleanly while preserving the shape of cherries and olives. Its plunger mechanism and ergonomic non-slip handle allow single-handed operation for efficient prep work. The tool is intended for home cooks who need a simple, reliable solution for pitting fruit prior to cooking, baking, canning or snacking.

Advantages

The pitter features a comfortable, soft-grip handle that reduces hand fatigue during repeated use and a spring-loaded plunger that ejects pits without crushing fruit. Its simple construction is easy to clean and stores conveniently in a drawer. The compact size makes it suitable for small kitchens and for quick tasks where a handheld manual tool is preferred over larger electric devices.

• Pitting olives for salads, tapenades and garnishes
• Preparing fruit for canning and freezing
• Quick prep for snacking or school lunches

How to use
