This one is so much faster and easier.00

Mickinoodle · May 15

Amaze! Amaze! Amaze! But I guess for my 3-4 pineapples a year I'll stick with my big, sharp knife.

@rockksteady.bsky.social · May 15

Would like to see how mangoes 🥭 are cut when sold on the streets en masse. I avoid them in NYC worried about salmonella but maybe they are safe to eat.

@margot-and-hamish2.bsky.social · May 15

He's a one man industry preparing for selling on the streets. I expect they use the cut offs and sell them in packs too. Good invention for that.

Larry From Pa · May 15

Wait until to see mechanical commercial potato peelers.

OgreDragon · May 15

looks like carpal tunnel to me

@kathyincanada.bsky.social · May 16

I want one.

Pak Chewy Unf · May 15

Splendid. I was wondering how he was going to handle the pips or whatever tf they're called.

MelissaGeeksOut · May 15

Honestly it doesn't look like it saves that much time.

J Booksy · May 15

But it leaves all the div--oh. Well, that right there is complete mastery.

Trev · May 15

🙋🏻‍♂️🙋🏻‍♂️🙋🏻‍♂️ Is it because in 99.99% of cases we peel them in single numbers a day using *checks OP wording* ‘cavemen’ tools like a kitchen knife, where the use of a chunky, commercial-scale pineapple peeler rig is as nonsensical as a domestic kitchen apple-peeler gadget? Also, video has ‘caveman’ action 🙄🤦🏻

Digital Soundbath · May 15

Lazy? You try cutting 75 pineapples a day

Lew Bryson · May 15

Yeah, I'm gonna run out and buy one of those bitches for the three whole pineapples I get in a year!

MovieEv · May 15

hand labor is never "lazy"

KontinentalKitties · May 15

Very gratifying! 🍍 😋

George Kaplan · May 15

Because we’re cavemen?

Nancy · May 15

Takes up too much square footage in anyone’s kitchen.

Leighanna · May 16

Nice

@chuckwhite.bsky.social · May 15

What do they do with the seeds?

jayseph b · May 15

What a dumb fucking post.

AgentCooper · May 15

"we" aren't peeling pineapples, because "we" don't buy them.

RogerThat 🐕☕🏳️‍🌈🇺🇦 · May 15

Ronco or Popeil?

@rockstorephotos.bsky.social · May 15

First post I've ever saved on here.

pillsbury · May 15

because a good cook can do it faster by hand.

It's a pineapple lathe!

Falstaff P. Flagler · May 16

"Honey! Our lives just improved dramatically, I bought a pineapple lathe!"

LastGreatAct 🇺🇦🇻🇪🇬🇱 · May 15

Save so much pineapple!

@defeline.bsky.social · May 15

Why would you call that lazy? Looks pretty labor intensive to me.

Election_Every · May 15

Where is gadget sold?

R.G. · May 15

That is wasteful.

Maraki · May 15

Random · May 15

I always wondered what the purpose of a pineapple was in nature... not sure it has one, but they sure taste great if we could only make eating them easier... oh year, here's something

Michael Anderson · May 15

That occupies a lot of kitchen real estate, especially countertop. I peel them in virtually the same amount of time using a chef's knife and a cutting board...maybe 6 times/year. Might be good for a commercial operation. All others would do better learning proper knife skills.

Brian M. Wise: Snarkasaurus Rex. Ω, MFers. · May 16

I mean, it's still a set of knives, dude

Windloft Workshop - Comms Open · May 15

That’s exactly how I ‘butcher’ my ‘freshly caught’ pineapple with just a knife, but I waste a fair bit more fruit because I can’t be arsed to cut narrower and shallower cuts to then deal with those little fibrous divots all over it.

Jesus · May 15

Seconds lol

My Bloody Vinyl Time · May 15

That’s not how I peel a caveman either

@hoseyg62.bsky.social · May 15

I also got a haircut from them!

Nadine 🏳️‍⚧️💖 · May 15

Yeah, I’d be loosing fingers if I tried that!

Slartibartfast · May 15

Because personally, I never have more than one pineapple at a time to peel, I don't have any room in my kitchen for another gadget, and I suspect that the time required to clean that thing will outweigh the time saved by not just using a knife.

Matt Hiller · May 16

I dunno, man, any cavemen who came across the wild precursors of modern pineapple cultivars were looking at a fruit much difference in size shape appearance and spininess than what modern or even pre-Columbian-exchange 15th century South American agriculture produced!

Kaos von Mayhem · May 15

Wow. Wastes a lot of flesh.

JeffSpicoli · May 15

Need this!

@thecatzpajamas.bsky.social · May 15

Pineapple 🤤

Terry · May 15

Ah, something else to gather large amounts of dust in my closet.

Lili Hill · May 15

I woukd eat so many more pineapples.

PhonedThisIn · May 15

Install in stores that sell pineapples like coffee grinders. youtube.com/shorts/M6ePj...

rosethornne · May 15

Wasting about half the edible parts there. No, your food does not need to all be soft and easily chewed like baby food.

fakeconsultant · May 15

I can disassemble a pineapple in about 90 seconds with a kitchen knife And I don't have to clean up that thing That's why

Curious Bystander · May 15

You peel your pineapples? 🤯

@ericjanssen.bsky.social · May 15

Used to have one of those old fashioned crank peelers (they still sell them) that could peel AND core an apple on a rotisserie spike. 🍎 The day someone sells one for pineapples (without defacing it to get the pockmarks out), I will shove money down their throat. 🍍😋

Reverend Dr. Khlamydia Kardashian, MD, PhD · May 15

that would cause multiple fatalities and lawsuits in the US. we're not the best

@straightarrow67.bsky.social · May 15

Seconds? No this looks labor intensive. It may yield the maximum fruit available per fruit. Look at this Korean pineapple processing plant. Not like that primitive Chinese tool. www.youtube.com/shorts/5XHHm...

Eve Calder · May 15

Mesmerizing!

Jeanot · May 15

Like cavemen....🤣🤣🤣

@djohnhvii.bsky.social · May 15

Ready for pizza...?

Jeri Westerson · May 15

The right tools for the job.

M J Murcott · May 15

I never thought of them being rows on a spiral.

RAW · May 15

This is such a staple food in our house. What a great way to cut it.🍍🍍🍍🍍💖☮️🕉️💟☯️

Joseph Arrieta · May 15

Spiral cut is wasteful.

J.J. Hitt · May 15

Pineapple-O-Matic !!

GrimTalo · May 15

You know you can eat the skin. This dude is removing a lot of the best part of the pineapple.

@aquart1.bsky.social · May 15

It's a bit bulky for the average kitchen.

Falcon the Gooner · May 15

That actually looks less efficient than using a big sharp knife, especially as you have to go back in to fully remove all of it

Spam? Anti-GOP!! · May 15

Their proctologists’ records suggest cavemen swallowed pineapples whole

Dr. Nefario · May 15

Yum-yum!

Woo · May 15

In Mauritius, vendors on the beach achieve that with one knife and about 10 seconds.

Freddieguts · May 15

I can feel my tongue shrivel at the site of that delicious pineapple.

اسد علي · May 15

Why does he remove the core? That’s the best bit.

Severin · May 15

Why are we still eating pineapples?

Jenny · May 15

Brilliant

@eusupport.bsky.social · May 15

I don't have the specialized knives but that's how I do it. The trouble is finding a decent pineapple at the grocery.

@maka43.bsky.social · May 15

Thanks Bee...quite clever...but...it is a lot of equipment to clean & store....

Ley · May 15

It looks so pretty all spirally.

The Great Dictator · May 15

If I peeled more than 2 pineapples per year I might look into this.

@captkickback.bsky.social · May 15

I would, I love pineapple, but have limited counter space.

Bam Persand · May 15

people saying this is wasteful dont know what Tepache is and that is sad for them

Erin · May 15

“Lazy”!? That’s still so much work. Working smarter not harder isn’t lazy.

@wfrankdunn79.bsky.social · May 15

I have a stainless-steel device with two ring saws that cores and removes the outer skin at the same time. I bought it in Hawaii.

Ginger · May 15

In the US, we’d dip that pineapple in batter, deep fat fry it, coat it in chocolate and sell at the county fair as “healthy.”

With a C? · May 15

Slick.

Zelbinian · May 15

the "i know better" crowd is already here in full force, i see.

El Mimbreno · May 17

Looks like it takes a bunch of skill as well.

🇺🇸🌺 Cranky Cloud Yeller on Borneo 🌺🇲🇾 · May 15

Pineapples are pretty bountiful. Especially since that looks like it's in Southeast Asia. We got plenty of pineapples here. And bigger problems to handle then a little bit of compostable material.

Spancialosaphus Lacrimosae · May 16

🤔 Would it be bad to try this wondrous machine out with a wheel of Tilsiter 🧀?

the jEfE · May 15

But does it make julienne fries? I'm not buying it unless it makes julienne fries. Well, maybe if they throw in a vinyl car top repair kit. Those are always useful.

@concernedcitizen71.bsky.social · May 16

I can do what he did with that gadget, without the gadget, just as fast. Pass.

Edward Rigby · May 16

Sadly googling "forked pineapple chisel" is returning limited results.

ptpdrhirosru · May 15

When there’s a need someone figures it out! Ingenious!

Starmersutra · May 16

those are some great tools

@bnolte.bsky.social · May 15

Worst technique I've seen yet. Barely anything left !

Mic Gritz · May 15

Wizardry

SF Native · May 15

A kitchen knife on a bread board is easily just as fast and less cleaning.

@claghorn.bsky.social · May 15

There is a corkscrew like gadget you screw into a pineapple and pull out perfect rings of pineapple slices. Much smaller than the gadget in this video.

I miss picking pineapples. One of my fav jobs during HS

@minerroy.bsky.social · May 15

Damn, that looks good

churchlady320 · May 15

That thing is as big as my kitchen.

Sancardo 💚 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 · May 15

It's just a lathe.

Annie 🏃‍♀️☀️ · May 15

My corer is so much faster and it will cube the rings.

bummer · May 15

i don't own a spinny pineapple thing

Tim · May 15

I lived in the Phillipines over 50 years ago. I could buy a pineapple for about 5 cent and for another 3 cent the vendor would peel it for you and bag it. He used a machete and it looked just like that when he was done

thorjansen · May 15

But the divot-reaming part cuts away a lot of fruit.

Andrew Milne 🇨🇦🇬🇧🇺🇸🇺🇦 · May 15

It’s the counter space.

A-C · May 15

It looks like it would only take a slight bit of additional engineering to make the spinny device also do the coring.

Tom Crain · May 15

Because if you want the occasional pineapple, even one or two a week, who has the room to store this thing and every other professional gadget out there.

@polskaanna.bsky.social · May 15

Where do you store this machine, it is huge?’

Beestrot 👨‍🍳 · May 15

Could find the credit for this video: Foodie Mama 👍

Or use one of these:

@bbmjcandy.bsky.social · May 15

Awesome!

Mary Carol · May 15

Not everyone has a kitchen counter big enough to accommodate that piece of equipment.

Maria · May 15

I learnt how to peel a pineapple with a knife on a NHS management course. Pineapples hold no fear for me.

HeyDaveCole · May 15

Is there a German word for envy of the sharpness of another persons knives?

Alan McMillian · May 15

Never seen fruit that had to be mounted on a lathe before.

Zach 📷 · May 15

There are even quicker gadgets wherey ou can just cut the top and bottom off, and screw it in. Removes the core and leaves you with nice slices.

@thejuliewolf.bsky.social · May 15

Wasteful

Jarkko Hietaniemi · May 16

That machine plus the manual step probably lose about 10% of the flesh though.

The Evil Betty · May 15

Because owning a bulky unitasker you will use maybe 2 times a year is not a good idea?
