Chef'n StemGem Strawberry Huller Tool, Remove Core & Leaf, Great for Baking & Jam Making, Red, 9 x 5 x 3 cm

Product Information

While single-purpose tools might not seem so sustainable in theory, a strawberry huller is unique in that it can create less food waste than using a paring knife or simply slicing across the tops of your berries. Smaller strawberries can also make the paring knife method more tedious (and sometimes more dangerous), especially when recipes call for multiple pounds of fruit. Strawberry hullers are also convenient for other uses like coring tomatoes, removing potato eyes, or targeting bruised portions of hardier fruits during the rest of the year. Some hullers take more out of the strawberry than others. One that blasts a hole through the center, for instance, may not leave enough fruit for you to enjoy. We tested this strawberry huller ourselves and were very impressed with its performance. It felt incredibly light and contoured to the hand perfectly. Thanks to the ergonomic shape and soft signature "Good Grips" padding along the handles, it was comfortable to use even while working through several large baskets of farmers market strawberries. The rounded blades and hinge design made it simple to target the stem and core regardless of size—we used it successfully on large, medium, and small berries—without losing any of the precious red fruit. The stem removal resulted in uniform, perfectly-round holes. The blades were also sharp enough to pierce the berry easily, but not so sharp that we worried about the tool slipping and cutting our hands. We cleaned the tool both by handwashing and by simply tossing it in the dishwasher, which was super convenient. Several reviewers noted the bulky width, which may make it more awkward to store, but we found it smaller than expected and simple to stow away in the kitchen drawer alongside other cooking gadgets. What's more, we think that the affordable price and efficiency that this tool provides more than makes up for any shortcomings.

The Chef’n Orignal Stem Gen didn’t just catch our attention because of the clever name—it’s also one of the most popular and highly-rated strawberry hullers available. This model uses a simple push-button mechanism with a stainless steel tip. The metal piece grabs onto the berry stem without attaching to the surrounding fruit, meaning you won’t waste any part of the strawberry besides the stem and core. Simply twist to remove, release the button, and you’re ready to move on to your next berry. We also appreciate that the tip creates perfectly rounded openings for garnishes and stuffing strawberries with fillings like Nutella or cheesecake.

Chef’n BPA-Free Dishwasher Safe Strawberry Huller

Some find hull removal easier if they twist off the leaves first. By doing so, you’ll be better able to see what you’re doing. Like knives and other utensils with blades, you may want to hand wash your huller whether it promotes itself as dishwasher safe or not. It could help keep the blade sharp longer.

With it’s simple push-button mechanism, just press down to open the stainless steel ‘claw’, insert it into the top of your fruit and release the button to hull with ease. Ideal for those summer servings of strawberries and cream.Not just for strawberries, this huller is also great for tomatoes, speeding up prep and leaving them ready for eating. When you’ve finished, it is dishwasher safe for added convenience. Strawberries are among the most delicious summer fruits but preparing them can be a pain. This is especially true if you’re serving them in large quantities. You have to remove the stem, then hollow out the center. True, you can eat around the core and stem, then toss it in the trash, but that doesn’t work if you’re using them in a dish like pie or shortcake. Simplemost Media
