This pineapple cutter is the easiest way to cut a fresh pineapple. It works on any size of pineapple. You just cut off the top of the pineapple and then spin and push the handle down into the pineapple. This particular one comes with the slicer to cut the pineapple into small pieces. Some of the other ones don鈥檛 come with the slicer. I highly recommend you get the one with the piece cutter. It makes life easy and it鈥檚 easy to clean. I just rinse it under hot water to get off any pieces, lay on a towel to dry and it鈥檚 ready for your next use. You can also use the cord of pineapple as a dish or cup for a special Hawaiian drink. Makes a great gift.
