Amaze! Amaze! Amaze! But I guess for my 3-4 pineapples a year I'll stick with my big, sharp knife.

Would like to see how mangoes 🥭 are cut when sold on the streets en masse. I avoid them in NYC worried about salmonella but maybe they are safe to eat.

looks like carpal tunnel to me

Cool

I want one.

Splendid. I was wondering how he was going to handle the pips or whatever tf they're called.

Honestly it doesn't look like it saves that much time.

🙋🏻‍♂️🙋🏻‍♂️🙋🏻‍♂️ Is it because in 99.99% of cases we peel them in single numbers a day using *checks OP wording* ‘cavemen’ tools like a kitchen knife, where the use of a chunky, commercial-scale pineapple peeler rig is as nonsensical as a domestic kitchen apple-peeler gadget? Also, video has ‘caveman’ action 🙄🤦🏻

Lazy? You try cutting 75 pineapples a day

Of course, one of the reasons I only buy three pineapples a year is because they're such a pain to break down. I still can't justify buying this cool gadget.

hand labor is never "lazy"

Very gratifying! 🍍 😋

Because we’re cavemen?

Takes up too much square footage in anyone’s kitchen.

Nice

What do they do with the seeds?

What a dumb fucking post.

"we" aren't peeling pineapples, because "we" don't buy them.

Ronco or Popeil?

First post I've ever saved on here.

It's a pineapple lathe!

family of 4 = 2 days

"Honey! Our lives just improved dramatically, I bought a pineapple lathe!"

Save so much pineapple!

Where is gadget sold?

That is wasteful.

Next best thing that works like a charm:

This, it does a neater job, but I can probably cut it as fast.

Seconds lol

That’s not how I peel a caveman either

I also got a haircut from them!

Yeah, I’d be loosing fingers if I tried that!

Because personally, I never have more than one pineapple at a time to peel, I don't have any room in my kitchen for another gadget, and I suspect that the time required to clean that thing will outweigh the time saved by not just using a knife.

I dunno, man, any cavemen who came across the wild precursors of modern pineapple cultivars were looking at a fruit much difference in size shape appearance and spininess than what modern or even pre-Columbian-exchange 15th century South American agriculture produced!

Need this!

Pineapple 🤤

Ah, something else to gather large amounts of dust in my closet.

👍

I woukd eat so many more pineapples.

Wasting about half the edible parts there. No, your food does not need to all be soft and easily chewed like baby food.

I can disassemble a pineapple in about 90 seconds with a kitchen knife And I don't have to clean up that thing That's why

You peel your pineapples? 🤯

These are great for apples!! Have done 4 purges to downsize my kitchen and this has remained.

Oh yeah these things work really well. Great if you have to make A LOT of apple pie.

Peel and core AND slice. I have one, it's great.

Yeah, they're great if you have way too many apples coming at you in Autumn. You can peel; peel & core; or peel & core & slice all in one operation. What pops out is actually a spiral, but one knife cut and magically you have circles of apple, just right for lining a pie, or sausagemeat hotpot

ROTATO?????!!!!!

It increased my apple pie consumption in fall greatly. 🥧

Seconds? No this looks labor intensive. It may yield the maximum fruit available per fruit. Look at this Korean pineapple processing plant. Not like that primitive Chinese tool. www.youtube.com/shorts/5XHHm...

Like cavemen....🤣🤣🤣

Ready for pizza...?

The right tools for the job.

I never thought of them being rows on a spiral.

This is such a staple food in our house. What a great way to cut it.🍍🍍🍍🍍💖☮️🕉️💟☯️

Spiral cut is wasteful.

You know you can eat the skin. This dude is removing a lot of the best part of the pineapple.

It's a bit bulky for the average kitchen.

Yum-yum!

In Mauritius, vendors on the beach achieve that with one knife and about 10 seconds.

I can feel my tongue shrivel at the site of that delicious pineapple.

Why does he remove the core? That’s the best bit.

Why are we still eating pineapples?

Brilliant

Thanks Bee...quite clever...but...it is a lot of equipment to clean & store....

It looks so pretty all spirally.

If I peeled more than 2 pineapples per year I might look into this.

I would, I love pineapple, but have limited counter space.

I thought so! If they're using that contraption then they're not discarding the cut pieces.

You can make Tepache if you peel them with a knife also.

“Lazy”!? That’s still so much work. Working smarter not harder isn’t lazy.

I have a stainless-steel device with two ring saws that cores and removes the outer skin at the same time. I bought it in Hawaii.

In the US, we’d dip that pineapple in batter, deep fat fry it, coat it in chocolate and sell at the county fair as “healthy.”

Slick.

the "i know better" crowd is already here in full force, i see.

Looks like it takes a bunch of skill as well.

Shut up and take my money! 🤣

🤔 Would it be bad to try this wondrous machine out with a wheel of Tilsiter 🧀?

But does it make julienne fries? I'm not buying it unless it makes julienne fries. Well, maybe if they throw in a vinyl car top repair kit. Those are always useful.

I can do what he did with that gadget, without the gadget, just as fast. Pass.

Sadly googling "forked pineapple chisel" is returning limited results.

When there’s a need someone figures it out! Ingenious!

those are some great tools

Worst technique I've seen yet. Barely anything left !

Wizardry

A kitchen knife on a bread board is easily just as fast and less cleaning.

Aldi occasionally has them, they work great. Available from many other outlets, too

Sure if all you want is circles

+1

Have that guy and mine had a ring on it that will also cube the pineapple you want.

"No unitaskers in the kitchen"--Alton Brown

I miss picking pineapples. One of my fav jobs during HS

Damn, that looks good

That thing is as big as my kitchen.

It's just a lathe.

My corer is so much faster and it will cube the rings.

i don't own a spinny pineapple thing

I lived in the Phillipines over 50 years ago. I could buy a pineapple for about 5 cent and for another 3 cent the vendor would peel it for you and bag it. He used a machete and it looked just like that when he was done

@zyxomma.bsky.social can we get one?

It’s the counter space.

It looks like it would only take a slight bit of additional engineering to make the spinny device also do the coring.

Because if you want the occasional pineapple, even one or two a week, who has the room to store this thing and every other professional gadget out there.

Where do you store this machine, it is huge?’

Could find the credit for this video: Foodie Mama 👍

Or use one of these:

Awesome!

Not everyone has a kitchen counter big enough to accommodate that piece of equipment.

I learnt how to peel a pineapple with a knife on a NHS management course. Pineapples hold no fear for me.

Is there a German word for envy of the sharpness of another persons knives?

#Amazing #Tool, #Surely #Smart 😍

Never seen fruit that had to be mounted on a lathe before.

Wasteful

That machine plus the manual step probably lose about 10% of the flesh though.
