About this deal

We love that it has a more neutral color, which is a nice contrast in case bright red is not your style.

Most annoyingly is that this huller resembles an amazing huller your grandmother would have used, the USA made Spee-Dee strawberry huller. You can see these important characteristics were designed into their version of the strawberry huller as well, as this tong-style tool helps you with your food preparation tasks while going easy on your hands. Since this tool punches out a clean cut center from each and every strawberry, we see this as a great opportunity for filling--just pack some chocolate hazelnut spread or sweetened cream cheese in there for a real treat! The blades are slightly larger than others, so we’d imagine it works well with larger stems as well as smaller ones, but the beauty of the tong-style huller is that it allows for better control.

If you have ever had to prepare mass amounts of strawberries you will know how tedious removing the stem can be. Not adjustable in any way, meaning whether you have a tiny strawberry or a huge strawberry, the same size of core is removed. Imagine our surprise when the Casabella Strawberry Huller proved us wrong by hulling our first test strawberry with ease!

By working over a bin or trash can you will quickly be able to discard the hull with one hand while picking up the next strawberry with the other for quick and efficient hulling. The OXO Good Grips® Strawberry Huller is a precision instrument when it comes to cleanly plucking the stalk and stem from a juicy strawberry - just the job if fruit salads, tarts or even a few delicious strawberries with cream are on the menu! We have to admit, upon first meeting with the dainty size and--we’ll say it--overall dinky feel of this strawberry tool, our expectations were quite low that it would be in any of our top picks.Some reviewers even reported using it to remove bruised parts of apples but noted that the head is prone to bending backward if overused on larger or tougher fruits. This released found not very easy to use at times as it is quite stiff and due to the juices sometimes the hull doesn't just pop off the huller. Of course, the Chef’n huller is already one of our top picks, but we also love the look and design of the cherry pitter; It has a splatter guard to keep any cherry juice from leaking, a locking handle for storage, and a non-slip grip. This is because the huller also removes the core of the strawberry and smaller strawberries have less flesh to spare.

The tongs don’t have much bounce back, reducing the pressure you need to squeeze them but also requiring you to manually open them sometimes. Features two bouncy rubber bumpers between the tong arms, rather than your typical spring mechanism. The OXO Good Grips Strawberry Huller is a great tong-style huller that is comfortable to hold, performs well, and doesn't take up too much space in your drawer. We were especially happy to find that this huller works just about equally well on all different sizes of berries, from small to large and would help to remove cores and stems from other soft vegetables and fruits as well! Etsy’s 100% renewable electricity commitment includes the electricity used by the data centres that host Etsy.The Oxo brand is known for its signature non-slip handles that provide a comfortable grip, even while handling wet ingredients. 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. The packaging has a photo “how-to” guide on the back, taking you all the way through the strawberry hulling process and also alerting you to the fact that it is dishwasher safe! The gadgets each fell into one of four main categories: Best Scoop-Style Strawberry Huller, Best Tong-Style Strawberry Huller, Best Stick-Style Strawberry Huller, and Best Plunger-Style Strawberry Huller . The plunger design is one popular variety of berry huller, as it relies on a spring loaded “claw” to essentially reach in, grab hold of, and extract the stem and core of each berry.

The strawberry scoop bends too easily and the plastic handle that the two ends fold up into is awkward to hold. Bought because we had a bumper crop of strawberries this year and this clever little tool made short work of the preparation. We think this tool in particular is a great way to get kids involved in the cooking process as there are no sharp or pinchy bits to be found.In addition, this product also comes with a OXO guarantee, meaning if you aren’t satisfied with your strawberry huller--or any of their tools for that matter--they will replace or refund it for you!
