Customer Reviews of Leifheit Pro Line Stainless Steel Cherry/Olive Pitter
Customer Rating: Rating: 1/5Rating: 1/5Rating: 1/5Rating: 1/5Rating: 1/5
Summary: TERRIBLE
Comment: This is a TERRIBLE cherry pitter. I paid WAY too much money for it at an upscale kitchen gadget shop but thought that I would make the investment terrible mistake. The plunger has fallen out and comes out with each cherry. I have tried to glue, and fix and nothing works. It really is a poorly made piece of junk.

Summary: Not much good as an olive pitter.
Comment: The design doesn't cut the flesh cleanly. I end up with smashed pieces and large portions still stuck to the pit.

Summary: Agree with Negative Reviews - Piece O' Junk
Comment: I had the same experience as reported in all the negative reviews. Works great at first, but then the "plunger" fell off the second time I tried it. This obvious design flaw is all the more disappointing, since it would otherwise be an excellent and worthy kitchen gadget.

Summary: Definitely not for Olives!
Comment: I bought this primarily as an olive stoner. It is possible that it might work on very small olives, but the big green Italian kind I buy in large tins are almost impossible to insert into the pitter in the first place, and then the plunger goes off center just enough to jam the stone. As an aside, the not so clever metal hinge stopper on the end which is supposed to keep the thing closed when not in use is badly cast and simply will not work. This is a piece of junk, even, I suspect, for cherries.

Summary: Cherry pitter is the pits
Comment: I bought this and paid good money for it thinking that it would last forever. First the arm kept coming out and then the bottom holder completely broke off. I was very disappointed with this pitter.

Choosing Appliance -> Cutting boards
There seems to be little difference between hard wood and plastic cutting boards from a safety standpoint, as long as they are properly washed and sanitized after each use. Personally, I like the feel of solid wood. One piece of advice--buy large cutting boards. Don't bother with these tiny boards that everyone seems to have in his or her kitchen. They are not user friendly. Once you get down to serious cutting or chopping, the small boards are always woefully inadequate and downright maddening!
Choosing Appliance -> Dishwasher
Choose a dishwasher with sturdy compression springs in the door. Also look for tough, lightweight nylon or graphite racks with cushioned tips that protect glassware and cookware. Weimer recommends choosing a model with a rack design that provides the largest, most flexible interior space and is configured for your belongings, including odd-shaped pieces.

Useful info -> Planning your Kitchen
Ask yourself a myriad of questions about your lifestyle (and that of your family), so it's as well to have as many of the answers ready as possible. Consider:
  • who's going to be using the kitchen - is it just the cook or does everyone tend to congregate there?
  • Do you keep pets who eat or sleep in the room?
  • Do you need a table or will a breakfast bar suffice?
  • More and more families are creating a living kitchen where there is not only a dining table but also some soft seating and a television.
  • Would you consider building an extension or giving up a formal dining room to create a large kitchen/diner?
  • What other tasks are undertaken in the room apart from cooking? Is it used for laundry, ironing, homework, entertaining?
