OXO Good Grips Stainless Steel Ratcheting Pineapple Slicer Review

Product Review: OXO Good Grips Stainless Steel Ratcheting Pineapple Slicer

Company: Amazon via seller OXO


Price Range: $15.99-$19.95

Who Would Buy This: 

Those shopping for a quality tool in the kitchen that can cut pineapples which the OXO Good Grips Stainless Steel Ratcheting Pineapple Slicer can do.

Purpose of Product:

To slice pineapples in an easy way and efficient way thanks to the OXO good grip technology that allows for the ratcheting process to glide down the core of the pineapple. 

Pros:
Cutting pineapples just became easy with the OXO Good Grips Stainless Steel Ratcheting Pineapple Slicer. What makes this device better than all others on the market is the technology that goes into making it. With the OXO good grips made of a durable plastic, the cook in the kitchen easily can perform the twisting motion needed for the coring process.

Besides the grip, the main shaft composes the majority of this tool. Unlike plastic models, the stainless steel body is sturdy and made to actually do work in the kitchen. Real cooks use metal utensils in the kitchen, not plastic. Why should anyone out there accept a plastic tool to cut a pineapple? 

When it comes to the actual coring of the pineapple the steel teeth and steel ratcheting technology show an even greater strength of the device. With simple pressure applied and the torque power supplied by the cook through use of the good grips, the coring is a breeze. Down slides the pineapple corer and it slices the pineapple in an effortless fashion. Keep pushing down and down, and spinning and spinning, until the corer reaches the bottom of the pineapple.

Once the bottom is reached, pull up with a bit of effort and reveal the golden goodness. The cook shall find an evenly sliced sweet euphoria for one of the ultimate vegan pleasures. My favorite fruit of them all is perfectly ripe pineapple. Sadly, I went through most of my life not eating the fruit because of its intimidating shape and the difficulty in preparing it. Now though, I can let a pineapple sit on my counter and ripen up until I am ready it. In no less than three minutes the pineapple is ready to be eaten, and the waste of the pineapple is actually amazing to look at and throw out to the compost worms.

Cons:

Finding out when to stop slicing is a problem of the OXO Good Grips Stainless Steel Ratcheting Pineapple Slicer. There exists a way to measure the pineapple against the Oxo tool, but this is difficult and often incorrect. This leads to the pineapple being sliced at the bottom and may have some chunky skin on it still. Through repeated use you will find out when exactly you need to stop, so eat more pineapple!

Guarantee:

The Amazon A-Z Guarantee is the best guarantee in the market. In the event that the product is not delivered, delivered in a broken condition, or is not meeting the quality expectations of the buyer, the item may be returned to Amazon for a full refund. A 30 day window exists to file a claim to Amazon over any problem that may come up with the product.

Value for money?

Nobody needs a pineapple corer, knifes exist in every kitchen. However, slicing a pineapple with a knife is stupidly difficult and dangerous too. I can not believe I tried cutting pineapples before without the OXO Good Grips Stainless Steel Ratcheting Pineapple Slicer. For less than $20, this investment will last a life time and should be used for hundreds if not thousands of pineapples over a long, healthy vegan life.

  1. Oxo v blade mandoline slicer is best among all slicers when it comes to slicing. Its amazing distinct features like having 4 blades with height adjuster make this product really worth.
