Wordless Wednesday -- My Late Grandmother's Cherry Pitter
Happy Wordless Wednesday! Very interesting photos. I always love to see kitchen tools from the past. How it is amazing how things have changed throughout the years. I would love to see a crock pot from the past. Thanks for linking up today and I hope you have a blessed week!
YM,, this is amazing. At first glance it looked a little gynechological (spell)... Then to find out it's a cherry picker (hey I'm a city girl, what do I know from a cherry picker) I had to laugh and sigh with relief. I don't think I've ever seen one from any era. Always a learning experience when I come to see you. Keri
Beautiful. I love items like these. I have a soup tureen my grandma made in a ceramics class about 25 years ago. It's shaped like a big head of cabbage and I smile every time I use it. Thanks for sharing this. :)
That one is way nicer than the one that I got at the kitchen store! I love antiques. Thanks for showing your secret on how you pit so many cherries in the summer!
Wow I love gadgets and this one looks really good. Thanks for dropping by simply.food. Hosting an event Flavours of Gujarat I am inviting you to participe if you can. http://simplysensationalfood.blogspot.com/2010/08/announcing-event-flavours-of-gujarat.html
Lovely tool, but aren't the pictures a bit of a fake? There is no flesh on the pit. A pitter typically removes a plug of flesh which you minimize by having the stem side toward the end of the tool.
There is nothing fake at all about the photos - real time, no Photoshopping, no editing. My pitter works beautifully and cleanly, and I never have any "plug of flesh" or problems. And the best way to use it is stem-side up for accuracy in shooting the pits out ....
So there's the little rascal! How fun to see that cute little utensil. Thanks for posting the pic - complete with doily. :-)
ReplyDeleteSure does make the job easier with that little tool! I love that it was your Grandmother's. Things like that are so special!
ReplyDeleteHuh! I never even heard of a cherry pitter! Pretty cool!
ReplyDeleteHappy Wordless Wednesday!

ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing this. :)
I don't think I have ever seen a cherry pitter. It is so great that you have something like this from your Grandmother, and that you can still use it!
ReplyDeleteYou know how I love antiques...and I LOVE this! :)
ReplyDeleteAll I have to say is that I am thankful that wasn't on your mind when I was asking for words. Cute antique, but what would I say about it? Egads.
ReplyDeleteNever heard of a cherry pitter! I NEED one now!!! =)
