Cherry season is a bowl of fruit and an evening lost to pinching pits. This stainless steel cherry pitter pushes each pit out in one squeeze and leaves the fruit whole for pie, jam, or a fruit salad. Hands and counters stay clean, and the compact tool stores in a drawer.
Pit cherries in one squeeze, keeping the fruit whole
- time-consuming manual cherry pitting
- juice stains on hands and countertops
- mangled fruit when pitting by knife
Pit a whole bowl in minutes, not an evening
Stop pinching pits out of bruised fruit with purple fingers. Squeeze once per cherry and keep every one whole, ready for pie, jam, or a bowl at the table.
Stainless steel where the work happens
Stainless pin and cup
The cup cradles the cherry and the steel pin travels straight through the center. Because the pin is stainless, it stays sharp and clean enough to use batch after batch, and the flesh tears far less than it does with a paring knife.
One squeeze per cherry
A visible coil spring sits inside the hinge. You press the curved purple handles together, the plunger drives the pit out the bottom, and the spring returns the tool to open for the next cherry. A full bowl moves at the speed of your hand.
Fruit stays in one piece
The cup holds each cherry steady while the pin works, so the fruit comes out round instead of split. That matters when the cherries are going on top of a pie or into a fruit salad where the shape shows.
One cherry, one squeeze, done
- 1Seat the cherry in the cup
Set one cherry in the stainless steel cup so the pit sits under the pin.
- 2Squeeze the handles together
Press the curved purple handles closed. The plunger drives the pin through the fruit and out the other side.
- 3Let the spring reset
Release the handles. The coil spring opens the tool again and the pit falls clear.
- 4Fill the bowl
Repeat for the next cherry, then tip the finished fruit into a stainless steel bowls or straight into the pie dish.

Questions and answers
The cup holds each cherry steady and the stainless pin goes straight through the center, so the flesh stays in one piece. A knife tends to split the fruit, and cheap plastic pitters often bruise it before the pit comes out.
The cup and pin are stainless steel, the handles are plastic, and the tool rinses clean in seconds. Stainless resists rust far better than plain steel, so a quick wash after the season is all it needs.
Very small cherries are hard to seat in the cup, so they take more care and a few seconds longer per fruit. Standard pie and eating cherries sit well in it.
A knife turns a big bag into an evening of pinching pits and stained fingers. This tool does the same job in a few squeezes per cherry, keeps the fruit whole for the pie, and folds into a drawer next to your fruit slicers stainless. One season of clean batches pays back the cost in saved time alone.
Stainless steel cup and pin, purple plastic handles. It measures 13 x 8 x 3 cm (5.12 x 3.15 x 1.18 in) and weighs about 34 g, so it sits easily in one hand and stores in a small drawer.
