My only issue with it (which you may very well be much better than I) was trying to determine when to stop. The first pineapple I stopped once I thought I was at the bottom and pulled out the rings only to find that I was roughly half-way. I started again and pulled out the remaining half of the fruit. On to pineapples 2-6 I made note of the height of the pineapple vs the slicer/core and had a much better success rate.

In the end I was quite impressed! It was very user friendly and made quick work of my 6 pineapples without any added muscle work. I strongly recommend this (or a similar tool) if you plan on putting up a bunch of pineapple. As a bonus – it was a lot of fun to play with! I will definitely have to try using it to can the rings whole in extra light syrup instead of the chunks I have done in the past. [Tip: The rings should fit whole in a wide-mouth jar!]
