Olive & Cherry Pitter

Pitting olives for a tapenade used to take me forever, but this thing makes it a one-step job — the pit pops right out cleanly every time. It's sturdy enough that I don't worry about bending it, and cleanup is quick. Already saved my Sunday prep.

I was dreading pitting cherries for my clafoutis, but this tool made the whole job take about five minutes. The pit comes out cleanly every time and the handle feels sturdy in my hand, not flimsy like my old one.

Finally, I can prep a whole bowl of cherries for a pie without wrestling each one or staining my fingers. The pit removal is clean and the tool handles both olives and cherries with equal ease, which is exactly what I needed for my summer recipes.
