We go through many days making things
harder on ourselves rather than easier.
Why we do this, I don’t know. It may have
something to do with that puritanical instinct
that we seem to have buried in our souls.
There are many times we can make things
easier or simpler and there is absolutely no
reason not to take that option. That’s the case
with the pineapple corer.
Our kids inhale fresh pineapple. Between our two youngest,
they will devour the entire plant in one sitting if we allow them.
That’ good because pineapple is one of god’s greatest food gifts to the
planet in terms of taste, nutrients, availability and cost.
The problem is cutting the dang thing up. I don’t mind at all, but to
pare the right parts and slice around the core so that the hard center is not
mixed in with the juicy edible sections isn’t always the easiest thing to do.
You have to make sure you slice away the fibrous outer layer.
That takes extra minutes of trimming, flipping the slimy fruit over and
over until you have it the way you want it.
No big deal, really, but it could be done easier. That’s where the corer
comes in. My wife decided this was one of the ultimate Christmas gifts
for me this year, and it has proven to be a winner. It is simple (yippeeeee),
the directions to use are easy to follow (yahooooeeee) and it is far less messy
(wahooooo).
Get one now. Bring it home. Slice off
the top of the pineapple and put it in your compost bin.
Push the corer down on the top.
Turn a rotation to the right, then back to the left.
Watch it bore down through all that yellow fruit.
In no time you have cored down to the
bottom of the pineapple. Pull it out with a
nice popping sound, and you have those perfect circular pineapple
rings you see in the cans at supermarkets. Only this is fresh.
And you have all this juice left over in the bottom of the
pineapple.
If you’re resourceful, you can turn that
juice into some exotic adult beverage.
If not, just slurp it all out with a straw.
Faster, cleaner, simpler, easier.
What more can you ask for?
