Reviews
"I saw a video of how to use the pineapple tool. I tried the watermelon tool on a Costco sized watermelon. There is the melon tool for that. I had other soft steel tools that rust in no time."
"I was laughing and having a great time while doing the pineapple."
"I am already raving about the pineapple and strawberry tool to anyone who will listen!"
"So...........opened the box,product very well packaged,items look like they will do their designated jobs well,pretty sturdy items,compared to other like utensils I have,they are about the same,pretty good quality.........no notation that they are dishwasher safe,but as they are stainless steel,I imagine they will be fine.My others are dishwasher safe and was noted clearly on all packaging.I purchased these as a lightening deal,so we're pretty well reduced in price,I wouldn't pay the full asking price as they are over $5 less for the set in store.Maybe an oversight by Amazon,but overall,I was very happy with this purchase and expect these utensils to do their jobs well."
"I LOVE the pineapple tool!"
"Pretty good set of kitchen gadgets to make life a bit easier in handler fruit."
"These seem well built and cut all the fruit as advertised."
"The watermelon cutter -- the one with the little wire piece -- broke on the very first slice through the pink flesh of a melon!"

Reviews
"I got the wrong tool...I try it for truffle making and I wasn't really happy with result.I didn't even attempt to use it for cookies because is definitely not the right tool, it will brake in very short time. It's not very thick metal, but it works for meatballs."
"When I first saw the size I thought it would not be big enough, but once you dip the pop I realized it was perfect."
"Squeezes very good, no need to roll with my hands ."
"Perfect size!"
"Bought this for cake pops and there’s a hole which causes the cake pops to be deformed && still has me rolling it into a ball, I mean at least it helps with the portions."
"I bought it ti make cake pops ."
"I just need to "fix up" the handles with something rubber so that it doesn't hurt so much after prolonged usage."
"Very poorly constructed, flimsy to put it mildly."

Best Fruit & Vegetable Corers & Pitters

OXO Good Grips Stainless Steel Ratcheting Pineapple Slicer with Depth Guide
Knob and shaft separate with the press of a button for easy cleaning and are dish washer safe.
Reviews
"Pineapple... one of those fruits I never buy because when whole it is the biggest pain in the world to peel and cut and I never buy pre-cut because it is usually $7 for a container of a half pineapple when a whole pineapple costs $2.99 in the same store. Just perfect pineapple and an empty pineapple shell with almost no meat left inside."
"It literally took a push of the hand and the whole pineapple was spiraled into thin rings."
"UPDATE: I discovered that the pineapple core does not become lodged in the cylinder if one doesn't drill all the way down to the bottom of the pineapple."
"I love pineapple but I feel really bad about wasting so much of the fruit and the juice when I cut it with a knife."
"It makes clean slices around the inner edge of the pineapple and, with a bit of pressure applied (just leaning a little into it), cuts/slices through the pineapple with ease. This product makes cutting up a pineapple an extremely easy process with minimal effort (much easier than just using a blade to cut all the edges off and then cut it up by hand)."
"Liked this so much I gave one to my daughter-in-law for her birthday."
"I purchase alot of pineapple to freeze and I was hoping this would make cutting them easier."
"Sharp and works well, but its hard to store in a drawer."

Best Fruit & Vegetable Zesters & Reamers

Microplane Premium Classic Series Retro Green Zester
This tool grates even the hardest Parmesan Reggiano as well as other hard cheeses into fine lacy wisps. Enter your model number to make sure this fits.
Reviews
"The sharp micro blades glide smoothly over the fruit, removing only the thinnest, outermost layer of the skin where the best flavor is, while leaving behind the deeper, more bitter part of the rind. Just give it a gentle squeeze, and the zester slides right in, protecting the delicate blades and you! Though I have put it in the dishwasher a few times, I usually just give it quick, stout spray with hot water to clean it."
"Know also that I spend an almost obscene amount of money every year buying the latest and greatest cooking toys. It is elegantly designed (should be considered for inclusion in the MOMA collection - especially the one with the yellow handle!"
"+ Very sharp micro blades - less effort for you and does the job very well. + it replaced my garlic press, turning whole cloves into mash. + about 1ft long, good enough space to grind. + can be placed horizontally on plate/bowl edges. + beautiful colors and design. + great price. Cons: - Very sharp micro blades, be careful not to reach with your fingers against the blades. (remember it can easily turn ginger to mash). - Cleaning - it's the main drawback, but it's worth the results, turning any food to mash or zest."
"An easy five stars from me for this super grater for it's ease of handling, easy and even removal of zest, little-storage-room-required size, and reasonable-for-performance price. Who would've thought that needing zest would cause one to smile?"
"I never like grinding lemon or orange zest as I can easily grind too much or ended up with uneven areas and some i can't get to."
"High quality, grates evenly and easily."
"But, the fact that the green handle can be found instantly in the often cluttered kitchen utensil drawers is the best."

Reviews
"Also a great veggie brush I’m sure, but I would NOT use the same brush for both eggs and veggies. from the veggies or fruit and transfer them to farm fresh eggs."
"I wanted a Black brush for my black kitchen and this looks good and works well...I have found that OXO product is most often good quality and design."
"I like this vegetable brush because it's soft enough that it will clean your vegetables but it won't entirely rub the surface off like some with harder bristles."
"When I started making my own baby food, I wanted to get serious about actually cleaning my vegetables instead of halfheartedly rubbing them under running water."
"The silk gets tangled in the bristles, and needs to be cleaned out thoroughly afterwards."
"It's a good vegetable brush that is the right size to fit in your hand to clean your food."
"Bristles are perfect, not too soft and not too hard."
"I’m a 6’+ tall man with correspondingly large hands."
