Product Information
Full details
The Joseph Joseph Tweezy 2-in-1 Pitter and Huller is designed for home cooks and bakers who frequently prepare fresh fruit and want to streamline their kitchen routine. It serves as a dual-purpose tool that combines cherry/olive pitting with strawberry hulling, offering a significant space-saving benefit; however, its manual operation may become repetitive when processing very large quantities of fruit at once.

FAQs
Is this tool dishwasher safe?
While many Joseph Joseph tools are dishwasher safe, it is recommended to hand wash this item to ensure the springs and locking mechanism remain in optimal condition.
Can it handle pitted olives?
The device is specifically designed for removing pits (stones) from fresh cherries and olives.
What size cherries does it accept?
It is designed for standard grocery-store cherries. Extremely large varieties like Rainier or specialty oversized cherries may not fit the pitting cup correctly.
How do I store the Tweezy?
Simply squeeze the handles together and engage the locking catch. This keeps the tool in its most compact state for drawer storage.
Will this crush my strawberries?
No, the tweezer-style huller is specifically designed to grip only the stem, leaving the fruit flesh intact and undamaged.
Troubleshooting
The pit is not ejecting cleanly from the cherry
Ensure the cherry is positioned correctly in the cup with the stem side facing upward or toward the pitting mechanism.
Tool handles are stuck in the closed position
Check the locking mechanism near the base of the handle and ensure it is fully released.
Strawberry stems are slipping
Make sure the tweezer tips are clean and dry; a wet tool may cause a lack of friction on the stem.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Saves significant drawer space by combining two tools
- Easy to operate for quick fruit preparation
- Prevents damage to strawberries compared to knife-based hulling
- Compact design is easy to store
- Secure locking mechanism prevents accidental opening
Cons
- Manual operation can be tiring for very high-volume processing
- Best suited for standard-sized cherries and olives
- Not suitable for heavy-duty commercial fruit preparation
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To use the device, simply release the locking handle to open the tool. For pitting, place the cherry or olive in the designated cup and apply pressure until the stone is ejected. For hulling, use the tweezer end to grip the strawberry stem and pull.
Compatibility note: This tool is intended for standard-sized cherries and olives. Extremely large or unusually small stones may not align perfectly with the pitting mechanism.
Care instructions: Hand wash the tool with warm soapy water after each use. Ensure it is completely dry before engaging the locking handle to prevent water trapping. The compact dimensions of H5.5 x W17.5 x D2.9 cm make it easy to tuck into any standard utensil organizer.
