Removing the eyes in rows is how Diane’s parents always clean their pineapples: but they use a knife to cut out rows of the eyes. It’s a pretty looking cylindrical row of cuts around the pineapple. But the traditional way of using a knife to cut the rows out can still be wasteful and a bit precarious. This great tool removes the rows so quickly, evenly and efficiently!

  • Slice away the outside peel of the pineapple thin enough to just barely remove the outer rind and barely touching the pineapple eyes. Don’t cut too deep into the pineapple to where there are no eyes left. Then you won’t even need to use the tools but you’ve wasted some tasty pineapple flesh by cutting too deep.
