Chef'n StemGem™ Strawberry Huller, Red, 9 x 5 x 3 cm

excellent product.works too

Having used the tweezer-style hullers with varying success, I thought I'd try this one. It really is a very efficient little tool and quite satisfying to use; a simple press on the plunger, stick the four blades into the fruit around the leaves, release the plunger, twist, and Bob's your uncle. I did read one review which said that this huller wasn't any good for small strawberries but this is wrong- you just don't push the blades in as far and it works just the same. it also helps that it is a nice little gadget. Out of interest I have also bought one of the very cheap copies of the Chef'n StemGem and although it looks very similar it definately has a flimsier, cheaper feel to it, and the blades are looser- it also arrived without a plunger knob- it must have fallen off before being posted as the missing part wasn't in the bag! You pays your money as they say...

Looks great and good reviews but bought for a strawberry loving relations birthday so unable to comment further atm but will definitely be a present with a difference!

If you look around Amazon you can find all manner of kitchen gadgets of varying usefulness. Maybe its just me, but I've never found a banana particularly difficult to slice and don't do it often enough to merit a specific tool for the job (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Kitchen-Craft-KCBANSLICE-Banana-Slicer/dp/B003CLFC98/ref=sr_1_1?s=kitchen&ie=UTF8&qid=1439278538&sr=1-1&keywords=banana+slicer). I'm also capable of biting a banana, so often I'll completely forgo the slicing and go straight to eating. That might give you an indication of how recalcitrant I can be. I'm the James Dean of yellow fruit consumption. The same cannot be said for red fruit. Not because its red, but because most red fruit has a green bit attached. Tomatoes, grapes, strawberries, peppers, the list goes on... I don't do green. I wait for the aforementioned bananas to ripen from green to yellow. It's no coincidence that Superman was impervious to everything but the green mineral Kryptonite. And sprouts, obviously, although much less was made of this in the films. But now, a miracle of modern engineering has arrived. Fire, the wheel, the atom. Mere stepping stones on the road to humanity's greatest achievement. Nobel prizes should be awarded. The designer should be given a medal the size of a frying pan. Have my money. Take my first born. This little beauty takes out the green bit from my favourite fruit. It's easy to use. Fast. Effective. It's easy to clean. The good people of the world no longer have to fear the risk of an accidentally ingesting a green bit, and can enjoy their fruit in blissful equanimity. Now if the inventor can come up with a way to remove Facebook from the face of the Earth their elevation to godhood would be assured.

The Idea is great - shame that when we came to use the item it fell apart because there was pin missing from the bottom section Please see photo as to have we resolved it using a tie-wrap through the hole to hold the unit all together. Please check it when it arrives.

After buying one for my son I just had to get my own. Easy to use, wish I’d bought one before. Nice looking straw berry huller

I Love this!! My eight year old would eat two punnets of strawberries a day if I let him, but he's not so keen on the 'green bits' and since Mum here was born with only one hand, prizing them out the usual way was just too fiddly for me. So I got the fun job of slicing the whole top off the strawberry, which was rather messy as the poor strawberries bled everywhere. Now I just steady the strawberry with my stump, press the button, plunge, release, twist ...and voila! 'Green bits' removed with almost surgical precision, and with a lot less blood loss! It is strangely satisfying too... the plunge of the sharp, shiny metal, the gentle resistance and then the yielding, of the firm, pink-tinged flesh... but, perhaps that's just my inner psychopath coming out. Ahem.. I can happily go through a punnet in less time and with less mess than the open-surgery method, and even the eight-year-old likes to have a go, so smiles all round. I can even take the 'funny bit' off the top of grapes (to normal, non-eight year old people, this is just the hole where the stalk has been) IF i'm feeling particularly affectionate towards my rather strange and overly picky offspring. Go one, get one. Its useful...and fun!

After seeing YouTube reviews of this, I thought I'd try them myself yo make my smoothie making quicker. I can tell you it certainly does. It is so much quicker, easier and cleaner to use this than other methods or by hand. The two big let downs are; the small green 'pink at the bottom keeps falling out as I use it, which is so difficult to put back in, and you can't provide additional 'clasping' strength if you have a tougher strawberry. Definitely worth buying though.

Durante los últimos meses, he estado influenciado por la moda de los smoothies de frutas, semillas, etc. muy natural pues; y este pequeño artefacto hace un excelente trabajo removiendo la parte que hay que limpiar de las fresas, o sea la parte del lado verde que es donde más suciedad pueden acumular estos deliciosísimos frutos. Al principio me costó un poco (tal vez unas 5 o 6 fresas) entender la mecánica y lógica de éste producto, y esque hay que tomar en cuenta los siguientes factores: 1- Empujar el botón verde para abrir la pinza, tanto como sea necesario; esto dependiendo del tamaño de la fresa (o qué tanto quieras remover de la fresa). 2.- Colocar la pinza abierta justo en el centro del area a remover. 3.- Hacer un poco de presión entre la pinza y la fresa Y AL MISMO TIEMPO girar la pinza en un solo sentido para que asi corte el trozo no deseado sin excederse. Estos pasos hay que repetirlos con cada fresa; tengan paciencia, despues de unos cuantos intentos seguro les va a gustar este producto tanto como a mi.

Works great. Key is insert and twist and the stem comes right out. Big time saver

Molto utile con fragole e pomodori

Não promete o que disse, infelizmente não foi uma boa aquisição

Kurz-Fazit: + Aus stabilem Kunststoff + Robuste Metallgreifer + Kinderleichte Bedienung + Funktioniert einwandfrei + Perfekte gleichmässige Erdbeeren Ich liebe Erdbeeren! Sie gehören zu meinem absoluten Lieblingsobst. Da ich seit einem Unfall im Rollstuhl sitze, war es für mich lange Zeit nicht möglich, meine Erdbeeren selber zu entstrunken (habe kaum noch Greifkraft). Durch einen Zufall bin ich auf dieses praktische Helferlein gestossen und möchte es nicht mehr missen! Erdbeeren vom Grünzeug befreien ist so kinderleicht, auch für Kinder und Behinderte – ganz ohne Kraftaufwand und dreckige Finger. Zum Entstrunker: Der Chef’n Erdbeerentstrunker besteht aus einem robusten Schaft aus rotem Kunststoff. Am unteren Ende befindet sich die Greifzange, diese besteht aus vier Metallgreifern. Am oberen Ende ist der grüne Knopf zum Auslösen der Greiffunktion. Sobald man den Knopf drückt, öffnen sich die vier Metallgreifer und man umfasst damit den Strunk (Grünzeug) der Erdbeere. Lässt man den grünen Knopf los, schliessen sich die Metallgreifer und das Grünzeug wird festgehalten. Jetzt dreht man das Werkzeug (oder die Erdbeere) ein bisschen und zieht dann das Werkzeug von der Erdbeere weg. Schwuppdiwupp, das gesamte Grünzeug wurde restlos entfernt und in der Erdbeere verbleibt ein gleichmässiges, schönes Loch (bzw. Kuhle). Auch bei unreifen Erdbeeren die noch halb weiss sind, funktioniert der Entstrunker prima! Selbst eine grosse Schale Erdbeeren lässt sich so schnell und gleichmässig entstrunken. Man muss nicht mehr mit den Fingern herumrupfen oder mit mit einem Messer hantieren. Keine schmutzigen, klebigen Finger und keine Verletzungsgefahr. Ich gebe meinen Erdbeerentstrunker nicht mehr her! Er ist so praktisch, dass mich schon einige Verwandte und Bekannte darauf angesprochen haben und sich dann auch gleich einen bestellt haben. Auch für die Kids ist dieses Helferlein ein grosser Spass, und vor allem ungefährlich! Scharfe Messer haben in Kinderhänden nämlich nichts zu suchen. 5 Sterne für eine super Idee, die nicht nur Behinderten wie mir das Erdbeer putzen leichter macht. 🍓 Ich gebe mir beim Schreiben all meiner Rezensionen und Bewertungen immer sehr viel Mühe. Ich teste die von mir selbst gekauften Artikel ausgiebig, um anderen Menschen die Kaufentscheidung zu erleichtern. Hat Dir meine Rezension gefallen oder geholfen? Prima, das freut mich! 🍓
