Norpro's cherry pitter cuts down cherry pie preparation time immensely. Push the catch hopper and one of the pit gaskets in place, fill up the automatic feed tray with cherries, and start plunging the seeds out. This method minimizes wasted fruit and wasted time, adding speed and ease to pie making, canning, freezing, or dehydrating. Measuring 7-1/2 by 6 by 14 inches (length by width by height), this cherry pitter comes with a clamp, which will attach it securely to any countertop that's 3/4 inch thick, and two gaskets. It should be hand washed after each use. --A.J. Rathbun

If you want to put up cherries you need to pit them and this item works excellent. I used another cherry pitter and was frustrated. Glad I got this one.

It works just like the video: fast, simple, doesn't spatter, easy on your arm. Within minutes, I was up to the speed of the demonstration. It can even handle pitting with stems on with just a little technique. It's a minimalistic design. Everything that needs to work is perfect, no extraineous features.

I bought this when our own cherry tree produced a LOT and we needed to do something with all of them. This tool came in very handy for pitting the cherries before we canned them or froze them in Ziploc baggies. The kids thought it was fun to use too. It is not super sturdy but did the job.

Pitter works okay but is flimsy where it clamps to the counter, and the plunger is a little mis aligned so it hits the plastic when pushed all the way down. But all in all Better tool to pit cherries with than the other methods. Makes pitting fun

I recently picked 16 pounds of cherries and used the Norpro cherry stoner to remove the pits. Out of the 16 pounds, about 10 or 12 of the pits were missed, but that could have been easily due to user error. The device functioned extremely well throughout the hundreds of cycles I put it through. My only complaints are: 1) The clamp did not fit on my countertop so I had to improvise with a cutting board hanging over the edge with a 25 pound bag of sugar on it. 2) The metal components rust VERY easily so as soon as you wash them you need to thoroughly dry them. I went so far as to spray them with food grade silicone spray to ward off rust during storage. Overall, it's worth a bit of extra work since it saves so much time and effort compared to pitting by hand!

Cherries have to be the best fruit of the summer, and the most difficult to work with. You’re stuck either indelicately spitting pits into a cup, or painstakingly pitting them one at a time while getting red splatter everywhere. Unless you have one of these. I have purchased 3 different cherry pitters only to be bitterly disappointed because they jam, or crush the fruit, or are tedious and leave you stuck punching holes one at a time through your pounds of fruit. But not this one, this is the holy grail. The hopper tray holds about a half cup at a time iand punches through them so easily. You gently nudge the cherries towards the chute as you go along and that’s it. I was able to get through 3 lbs of cherries in 15 minutes. This would typically take me an hour or more. If you live in a place like I do where the season for cherries is short and expensive, you buy as much as possible on sale and freeze or can them and eat them like crazy for just a few weeks. So15 minutes feels a bit like a miracle to have days worth of fresh fruit or a nice batch to put away for later. This machine was easy to put together, it’s easy to take apart and clean, and it clamps to the edge of my counter with no difficulty. I wish the hopper was a bit bigger, and I wish it was steel and not plastic, since this is the kind of tool you know you’ll use heavily and worry you’ll wear out. But I swear I’ve looked high and low and this is the best one on the market for any home cook. If it breaks I’ll be back for another.

If you are processing cherries for freezing or canning, this is the one to get. It’s fast, although it’s a one at a time process, the hopper and the spring action make for fast removal of the pits. I processed 2 lb at a time and it only took 10+ minutes!Now the down side… 1) you need to make sure the knob on the plunger is tight at all times, Check it once in a while. It can loosen and the mechanism comes apart with a BANG.2) For an expensive kitchen gadget it is NOT stainless steel (it rusts) I solved this by washing, drying and wiping a little Cooking spray on it.

People become engineers I think so they can invent things like this. It requires no power, no batteries or cord, and yet it works beautifully. The design appears not to have changed at all from the orange 70's model I originally bought from the garage sale, which is in fine working order, just a bit rusted from having been left in the dish water too long. It has the little tab of flexible silicone rubber that needs to be in place, and the transparent plastic cup, and the plunger, and that is all the parts there are. Deceptively simple, the cherries tend to roll (or may have to be pushed with a finger sometimes, depending on the size of the cherries, and the stickiness, cherries covered with juice are sticky, to the spot where the plunger comes down, slices through the cherry, pushes the pit (but not the cherry) through the hole in the silicone rubber tab, and as the plunger comes back up it lifts the cherry slightly, but the hole the plunger retreats through shoves the cherry off the plunger, and it falls into a little channel, and rolls neatly down the chute into whatever dish you have ready for it. The pits fall nicely into the clear plastic cup. With some little practice you can go through an ice cream bucket full of cherries in a half hour. You'll have to empty the clear plastic cup of pits a few times, you may have a few misfires, and will have to send a cherry or two back through to get the pit, but for 99 out of 100 times, you'll get the pit. The pitter could be taller, that would make the selection of cherry catching dishes you can put under it wider, and that could allow you to pit for longer stretches of time, but that is the only flaw in this device. A friend and I marveled at the beautiful simplicity of it. Pitting cherries is a laborious process, and this invention is an ingenious improvement, so far advanced above any other device on the market, if cherry pitting were a more common activity, it would take its place beside the cotton gin and the steam engine as a great invention. I have my 70's model, but I bought a second one, because I have a cherry tree, and when the cherries are ripe, I can press a family member into service. With two of these working at once, next year's cherries will go like lightning. If you have a tree, you owe it to yourself to buy one.
