I LOVE our pineapple cutter!

Fresh cut pineapple is a welcome snack enjoyed by everyone in our home - the trick though, getting the most out of the pineapple without making a total sticky mess! The solution - a pineapple cutter!

Step 1 - cut off the top of your pineapple

Step 2 - Place cutter on top of cut pineapple centering it over the core and turn in a clockwise direction.

Step 3 Remove the center of the pineapple by pulling the cutter upwards 

TIP - Do this over a bowl - there could be LOTS of juice!
