How to pit cherries
 

I had a lunch sack mostly full of Bing cherries today that I pitted. My
pitter is old and rusty and I need to get a new one. The kind I have has
three loops on it and a plunger. You put one loop around your thumb, and
the others are for your pointer and middle finger. You then put the cherry
in the end of it, depress the plunger and if it works right, the pit pops
out of the bottom. I seem to remember it working better in the past. Today
only about 1/3 of the pits popped right out. And now my fingers are all
purple. Is there a device that works better than this? Thanks!

I've been lusting after a rotating sort of dealy with a hopper. I have a
single cherry/olive pitter which is okay for 1/2 cup for a recipe, but a
pain for 4 cups. I'd like to avoid another attachment for a fancy schmancy
food processor like my buddy's got, cause what if the electric goes out?

I use a paring knife, and halve them.

Naturally, I get very purple fingers during this process. ;-)

Check Amazon.com for cherry pitters. They have everything up to $200+
ones. I got the Oxo one. It does work fine for small quantities. It
would be much better than the paper clip method for large quantities.

King Arthur has a nice one that I have used for larger quantities. It
isn't automatic, that's for sure, but is quite easy to use and
dishwasher safe.

That's what the fellow I apprenticed to used to say... whenever he
caught me with an electric tool instead of doing something by hand:
"Hanh? (french honk) After WWIII, how you going to cook for the people,
hanh? When there's no electricity? hanh? HANH?" (the fact that there
would be no people either was not a consideration in his mind).

Naturally, when the electric goes out, the first thing you want to do is
pit 4 cups of cherries. :-)

I check my email. Truly, I've tried to do this whilst my head was thinking
of other things. Like canning jars mebbe.
Actually, with that new power box thingy, I probably could check *an* email
if the power went out.

i have this one:
http://www.kitchenkrafts.com/product.asp_Q_pn_E_FP5119
i pitted 8 pounds of cherries last summer. yup, purple
fingers, but it worked pretty well (no pits in any of the
cherries, which sometimes happens with the multiple pitters),
plus my 7 year old can use it pretty easily.

Hmmm... Have a nephew but I might have to pay him to do the pitting.

how old is he? i can get away paying my soon-to-be-8 year old
a penny per cherry, or with a treat (Pokemon booster pack.
around $2 <g>) for a couple pounds. older kids get more
expensive.
