REVIEW: Pineapple Corer / Slicer Tool – Pros and Cons

So I bought a pineapple cutter slicer off of Amazon ( https://amzn.to/2Nx6gNw ) . Its only takes about 20 seconds to prepare a pineapple with this pineapple cutter.

​​Just chop off the top with a knife, screw cut down the center of the pineapple, and pull. I makes a 3.5 inch round sliced pineapple rings that are 1 centimeter tall! So simple and fast. Perfect for parties if you are prepping lots of pineapple drinks or want to make a pineapple cup or bowl. I store it in a plastic twist top containers ( https://amzn.to/2PO1xgn ) in the fridge.

PROS:

  1. Fast processing of pineapples! – 20 to 30 seconds
  2. Easy to clean – just rinse and dry

CONS:

  1. 3.5 inch diameter cut is good for most pineapples, but will waste larger diameter pineapples.
  2. One trick kitchen gadget – but very useful when you need it.

I eat a lot of pineapples for drinks, dessert, fried rice and love the sweetness, so this tool is very useful to me. I also use the pineapple tops to grow pineapple trees for landscape plants.

Using a whetstone ( knife sharpening stone ) for the first time.

I wanted to learn how learning how to sharpen my kitchen knives using a whetstone. There are many types whetstones sold online ( https://amzn.to/2R0hy0g ) ranging from various grits of 300 to 8000. I wanted to learn the fundamentals before I upgrade to better Santoku knife ( https://amzn.to/3dLVm3R ) and a better whetstone in future. Btw, my Youtube vlogs and reviews may also have associated affiliate links to products that may earn from qualifying purchases.

I went out and bought a $1 whetstone and a $1 entry level Santoku (https://amzn.to/3dLVm3R ) style kitchen knife from a dollar store to practice on. My parents have been using their 20+ year old 8 inch whetstone to sharpen every knife and scissors in their house since i was a kid. My dad loved spending time sharpening knives. I always wanted a Santoku knife and aspire to own a better one in the future.

After spending about 1 hour sharpening my $1 Santoku blade, it was really sharper compared to factory! I was able to easily cut paper and dice apples .
Things I learned from this practice:

  1. Keep your focus on technique, motion and consistent angle for a good sharp edge (burr).
  2. Keep the whetstone and knife wet and lubricated. This keeps the metal shavings build up low on the whetstone.
  3. A new whetstone needs A LOT of water in the beginning. It was easier just to sharpen the knife in a tub of water.
  4. Even $1 Whetstone can make a $1 Santoku knife razor sharp. Definitely worth it to have in the kitchen or garage for extending the lives of knives and sharpening tools.

I will be practicing more on my $1 whetstone before buying more advanced whetstone ( https://amzn.to/2R0hy0g ) in the future.
