The Tomorrow's Kitchen Pineapple Slicer allows you to safely and easily core and slice fresh pineapples in seconds! Simply cut the top of the pineapple off, press the base of the slicer into the meat of the pineapple and turn. Stop turning before you go through the bottom of the pineapple. Pull the slicer out and now you have perfect pineapple rings! Use the wedger to make pineapple chunks. Use the shell as a container for fruit, desserts and cocktails!

When is a gadget not really a gadget ....???
... when it works as expected!!I am a bit of a gadget freak, and having returned from Rhodes where Watermelon was part of the staple diet. I found some You Tube clips which gave some pretty inventive ways of using a Watermelon ... (No ... stop that!!) One of the clips showed a guy demonstrating this device to hollow out the WM and then do various things thereafter. The clip was from the US, there was a link to a US site and then through a little research I found myself back at Amazon UK. As always, the price in pounds was the same as in dollars - but hey - it's one of life's mysteries.So, who am I to miss out on a gadget?? I ordered one of these and have used it on Watermelons as well as various other melons. It works every time and you're left with a waterproof container to serve up the jelly, punch or dessert that you have created.As an afterthought, I decided to try it on a Pineapple .. and guess what!! It's perfect for rings or chunks. Additionally, with three cutter sizes it caters for pineapples from a relatively small size to pretty huge. I tend to buy medium pineapples from my local supermarket - these cost around £1 .. So for that I am pretty much assured that I get freshly extracted pineapple (plus juice) in whatever form I want.Yes, I could manually cut the pineapple, and have done so often, but the results are variable in terms or how much flesh you lose and how long it takes to do. With the slicer, I now have this down to a fine art and I complete a pineapple in less than a minute without rushing!! Also, I don't need to worry about the core of the pineapple as this slices around the core and you extract just the flesh.So for once .. I have a gadget that won't just fester at the back of the gadgets cupboard - or be consigned to the loft or garage (not great at throwing things out either!!) :) ..Hope this helps .. It's worth having a look at the video.There are other units available, but I particularly liked this one because it has three cutter rings, was made out of a good quality plastic which doesn't appear to suffer from the dishwasher - although it's a cinch to clean afterwards.

A versatile device.
This product has 3 sizes of cutter so caters for all sizes of pineapple. I suspect not all the others do this.

Not up to expectations
The actual cutter is plastic. I was expecting a metal blade. It looked identical to my friend's and hers has a metal blade.Found it hard going twisting through a pineapple with no actual blade to cut through it.

Not as good as promised
Good idea but does not work well in practice as the cutting edges of the wedger are not sharp enough and are obstructed from reaching the bottom of the cutter by one side of the cutter being in the way..

Great concept but not what its cut out to be
There are 3 sets for S M L pineapples. I found the handle is very temperamental and didnt clip well to the top of the wedger. It kept slipping and wasnt sturdy. I wasnt impressed it created more mess than it would if I cut the tradtional way. I was put off using it again.It is back in its box and put away in the cupboard. Not a great gadget
