Meet my Brad Pitter. Usually you can find it under the name of olive and/or cherry pitter at the homewear goods shop - they don't all look like this one, some have a domed holder end, for example and a grippable handle. This one was a present from Emma and Wendy one Christmas or a birthday many years ago, and it is a well loved and respected member of my kitchen. Some people categorise the pitter as one of those extravagent utensils that takes up space cos its hardly ever used - they can never be more wrong. It simply is fun to use, clean, pretty, and as a big fan of pitted things and not half crushed things - i highly recommend any serious entertainer a set of these efficient sidekicks.
