Norpro Deluxe Cherry Pitter with Automatic Feed Tray — 1.75in Capacity, Vacuum-Suction Base

The Norpro Deluxe Cherry Pitter with automatic feed tray quickly and cleanly removes pits from cherries up to 1.75 inches (4.5 cm) without crushing the fruit.

If you preserve, bake, freeze, or dehydrate cherries often, this countertop tool speeds the process while protecting fruit texture. The pitter features a spring-loaded plunger, an automatic feed tray to line up cherries, and a strong vacuum-suction base that holds the unit steady during repeated use. It disassembles for cleaning and stores compactly, making it practical for both seasonal canning and everyday baking prep.

How does the automatic feed tray make pitting faster?

The automatic feed tray aligns cherries for each cycle so you can work in a steady rhythm rather than placing fruit one at a time. This reduces hand movements and increases throughput, especially helpful when processing pints or quarts for preserves.

• Automatic feed tray lines cherries for continuous pitting.
• Spring-loaded plunger ejects pits without manual fiddling.
• Designed for up to 1.75" (4.5 cm) cherries common in many recipes.

Will this pitter damage or bruise the cherries?

Norpro engineered the mechanism to push pits out cleanly while preserving the fruit’s shape and juices. The plunger force is strong enough to remove pits but gentle enough to avoid crushing, minimizing mess and waste when you’re preparing delicate baked goods or canning.

• Pits removed with minimal bruising or crushing.
• Leaves whole fruit for better presentation in pies and preserves.
• Less waste and reduced cleanup compared with manual pitting.

How stable and easy to clean is the unit?

A high vacuum suction base secures the pitter to counters so it stays put during repetitive use. The unit disassembles into several parts for hand washing and compact storage; manufacturer instructions are included for safe reassembly.

• High vacuum suction base keeps the unit stable on surfaces.
• Disassembles quickly for rinsing and hand washing.
• Lightweight construction for easy handling and storage.
