Norpro Tomato Core It

When I purchased this core tool, I used it for tomatoes but never thought to branch out. I bought a lot of strawberries recently and was eager to speed up the prep so I got this item and got to work.The berries had very big leaves on the top, plus the tops of the fruit were not red enough. I began by plucking the leaves (very easy because of their size) and piling the strawberries in a bowl. I love efficiency so I always take the most repeatable steps possible.When I got to the denuded fruit, I applied the corer in a circular motion. SURPRISE! I had made the perfect round scoop to fill the berries with a cream cheese concoction that really made a wonderful dessert for our dinner.It's the little things in life, right?

It works perfectly fine it will take a chunk of the tomato out not a big chunk just a little

Tomato core remover easy to use and super easy to clean

Works great for big batches of tomatoes (or just a few too).

I bought this as a gift for a tomato lover and I tried it out first. It does the job well and it is easy to use. I like that silicone/rubber grip. It makes it softer to hold than bare metal and it allows for a stronger grip. The head of the tool is smaller and less sharp than I expected so there were a few tomatoes (homegrown) that had thicker stems and took a bit more work. That said, I didn't have any tomatoes that didn't work on it. It was also great on strawberries, and I imagine a few other fruits as well. The head is small enough to work on apple bad spots or other fruit that need a small spot taken out.The person I gave this to loved it and has used it every day. They said it was a nice product and one that that needed but never bought for themselves. This would be a nice gift for a kitchen gadget person, or a first-time cook. It is a decent product for the price.

Ideal for coring tomatoes and removing strawberry tops.

I also use this for taking the tops off strawberries. A sturdy, versatile little tool. I had one for years, and the only reason I bought another one is because I lost the first one. Good value, good size, plenty sharp. I have also used it for taking the out out of cherries after cutting them in half and twisting the halves apart.

I’m looking at processing over 40-50 lbs of tomatoes this fall and this little tool will make it infinitely easier! The little spikes hold the device in place and then it works like a melon baller. I had tried a melon baller in the past and it wasn’t sharp enough to penetrate the tomato skin. I’m buying a second one of these because I dont ever want to be without one of these EVER again!
