I love fresh pineapple but never buy them because the hassle of cutting them is more than I want to deal with. THIS IS AMAZING!! Cut off the top of the pineapple, line up the middle corer with the core of the pineapple, apply pressure while you twist. You keep applying pressure (not a lot is needed) as you twist. You will feel some resistance as you hit the bottom of the pineapple. Stop putting pressure on the handle, twist one more full revolution, then hold the pineapple as you lift the cutter out. I have the bowl I'm putting the pineapple in ready and set the entire pineapple and cutter in the bowl. I cut down the length of the cutter in sections all around the core and knock the newly sliced pieces into the bowl. It is so simple!! Finally, I remove the cutter and dump the juice in the leftover pineapple shell in to the bowl. I've done this twice with wonderful results!! I highly recommend this to anyone!!

This is a replacement , item, I use it and gave one as a gift, and shared the product with another friend, and she has ordered one as well....

I have not tried this yet. It seems sturdy and I have been very successful with the products I've purchased at the hungersie.
