Having made a few cherry pies in our day with pit removal being a pain, it’s nice to find this pit remover from Oxo. The Splatter Shield protects your work area from juices and removes for cleaning. The sturdy, die-cast zinc construction removes pits with ease by pushing the pit right out the bottom. The generous cherry holder accommodates large cherries like Bing and Rainier, and is recessed to secure smaller varieties. And if you’re worried about having this in the kitchen with kids - it locks closed for convenient storage and safety.

The Transfer Cutting Board from Chris and Ruby makes the age old problem of moving your cut foods from the cutting board to the plate a bit easier. The cutting board has a round cutout for plates and is raised up slightly allowing the plate to slide right under for food transfer. We’d like to see have an adjustable set of feet underneath the cutting board to allow for larger bowls, salads, and other things besides plates, as we usually transfer to the final place or smaller prep bowls.

Vicera sent us a set of their ceramic Chef’s Knife, Santoku Knife, and Utility Knife to review over the past two weeks. We’ve been using these knives daily in our cooking, and compared to the Kyocera knives which we’ve been using - we simply like these knives better. They are dishwasher safe, and the white blade compared to the black ceramic blade of the Kyocera knives is much thinner and we think cuts a bit easier. We also like the handle on the Vicera knives a bit more as well - the texture on the handle makes it grippier. These knives are not cheap, but then again when is a great knife cheap? You’re going to pay on average $59-$99 for these ceramic knives, and these should be thought of - IN ADDITION TO - the knives you’re using.
