Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
Fresh pineapple has a tropical, delicious taste, but many folks can't figure out how to get past this fruit's thorny exterior to the sweet inside and so resort to buying those perfect little rings in a can. This pineapple slicer peels, cores and slices a fresh specimen in less than 30 seconds so there is no excuse for ever buying canned pineapple again. To use this ingenious little tool, you must first cut the top off your fresh pineapple. Next, place the slicer in the middle of the pineapple and push down while turning the handle in a clockwise motion. Pull the slicer straight out of the pineapple and--voila!--your perfect little rings come out with the tool while the rough shell stays behind. Finally, simply slide the handle off the slicer and the pineapple rings slide off with it. The pineapple shell remains intact so you can use it as a dessert bowl or as a glass for piña coladas. The slicer comes with three blades to tackle pineapples of any size. This tool has garnered several prestigious design awards from all over the world, including Germany's Award for Good Industrial Design, Holland's ION's Good Industrial Design award, and Japan’s MITI Award for Excellent Foreign Product. --Cristina Vaamonde, Amazon.com

My wife and children love fresh pineapple so for years I would buy one, slice off the outsides, top and bottom and throw huge quantities of it in the bin. By chance my mother in law found one of these is a kitchen shop somewhere and recommended it to me, I am glad that she did.
To use you just select the correct sized blade (I always buy big pinapples so it's the largest one for me) and attach the handle. Slice the top off, get the blade centered on your pineapple and twist. There is a central core on the blade that wraps itself around the hard core of the pineapple, and the blade slices the flesh into a spiral. When you hit the bottom just pull and the flesh lifts out whilst the core is left. HURRAH
Slice the flesh into chuncks and eat.
A couple of things to point out
1. Lots of juice will come out so make sure you have something on hand to pour it into , otherwise it will come out of top of the pineapple and be wasted.
2. Over time the handle will become lose, if you pull too hard then tt will come off. Remember that the fruit should be quite soft so tease it out rather than yanking as hard as possible.
3. Even though it is made of plastic my blades still continue to cut through pineapples even though I've had them for several months.
A quality idea, well implemented.

I bought this gadget on the off-chance that it was as good as the description - I have to say that it did not let me down!
It makes preparing a pineapple so, so easy - the only difficulty I find is pulling the core out of the shell - as when you grip the shell it compresses so it's no longer circular! So I get my boyfriend to give me a hand, and there's no problem. It took less than 15 minutes to get this out of the box, cut up 2 pineapples and pop them in a box in the fridge, and wash up and put away all of the items used. I was mightily impressed, as I was anticipating it taking a while to get used to.
The only thing I've found so far is that pineapples marked as "medium" in the supermarket actually require the use of the small "blade" in order to avoid any spiky bits being left on the rings.
All in all, a very good buy at less than a fiver!

This pineapple slicer was something I had seen advertised for years & I kept thinking it's too expensive - so never ordered one. What a mistake - this item is fantastic - it does what you expect - The plastic slicer comes with three different sizes of cutter - which will cover all sizes of pineapple. One tip someone gave me if not wanting the shell of the pineapple to be in tact like a bowl - just cut off the top & bottom of the pineapple - then place in a dish to catch juices before coring.

Loose too much juice
Although easy to use and functional, this destroys so many pineapple cells that the slices are no longer juicy. Much tastier to slice by hand. Read more
