I've never baked a cherry pie or canned cherries to make homemade preserves, but I can't wait to get lots of fresh cherries after seeing this Cherry Pitter by OXO. It has "a removable splatter shield that directs juices downward and prevents them from soiling your work area. When not in use, the splatter shield fits inside the front chamber and a lock holds the Cherry Pitter closed for convenient storage. Sturdy, die-cast zinc construction removes pits with ease, and soft, comfortable non-slip handles absorb pressure while you squeeze."
3"w x 6"l x 1"d.

Designed by TODA (The Office of Design and Architecture) for OXO, this mouse-shaped corn stripper makes removing corn kernels from cobs a super easy job. It's a thoughtful design with a ½-cup-capacity container that catches the kernels as they are stripped from the cob. "The soft, non-slip grips cushion your hand during use and the stainless steel blade will not rust or dull."
