Amazon.com Review: Norpro's cherry pitter cuts down cherry pie preparation time immensely. Push the catch hopper and one of the pit gaskets in place, fill up the automatic feed tray with cherries, and start plunging the seeds out. This method minimizes wasted fruit and wasted time, adding speed and ease to pie making, canning, freezing, or dehydrating. Measuring 7-1/2 by 6 by 14 inches (length by width by height), this cherry pitter comes with a clamp, which will attach it securely to any countertop that's 3/4 inch thick, and two gaskets. It should be hand washed after each use. --A.J. Rathbun

I had never used a cherry pitter before -- This worked as claimed and FAST. I love it -- I now have a bunch of frozen cherries to enjoy all year round.

My only complaint is that larger pieces do need to be pulled out individually (after pitting)--this is not a big deal to me, but may pose a problem for the serious baker and/or jammer. Also, the plastic construction is a bit cheap, but keep in ... Read More

I just got one of these yesterday. Its works marvelously. Just pour in about a cup of cherries and keep punching the handle. What could have been a very labor heavy task was just simple. Highly recommended.
