WestmarkGermany Stainless Steel Tomato and Strawberry Stem Remover Corer (Red/Black)

its german, it must be good?not really. the head broke off in about a week of use in a Subway restaurant.ergonomic grip. sharp teeth. terribly weak weld from the cutting head to the shaft.

The points need to be sharper for tomatoes

I bought this as I hate cutting the tomato stalks with a knife. So let's look at the good and the bad.First glance, very nice looking gadget. Looks sturdy strong and able to manage the task at hand.Feels comfortable in my hand. Feels like it could take on the most ripe of tomatoes.First attempt. Solid start. Scooped it up and spat it out in no time.Second tomato, caused a lot of jagged test on the skin of the tomato. Maybe the beauty is actually the beast?Third tomato, the whole cup bends backwards. Things where not looking good. After greasing my elbows and chalking my palms I finally bend it back to place. That was my first mistake. Never bend it back into place. You make it weaker doing so.Fourth tomato... Rip gadget. It was nice knowing you. The head fell off. It was an exaggerated version of nearly headless nick from Harry Potter. We now have decapitated corer. Don't waste your money. Just eat your tomatoes whole like a cave man

This little tool has become an essential bit of kit in my kitchen and is very useful for prepping tomatoes for chutney making etc. It removes the stalk end of the tomato so is also nice to use on salad tomatoes. I haven't tried it on strawberries yet but think it would work on them too.

The media could not be loaded.

As soon as I touched the head it flexed and fell off in my hand. The weld was barely visible. Poor quality control.

Grundsätzlich bin ich kein Freund von "Küchengimmicks". Meistens benutzt man sie genau einmal, danach liegen sie in der Schublade - und beim nächsten Großaufräumtag werden sie weggeschmissen. Der Tomatenstrundentferner ist aber tatsächlich hilfreich. Allerdings auch nur weil ich ihn in einer Kindergruppe verwende, wo es täglich Salat gibt und zwei Kilo Tomaten damit einfach sehr schnell "entstrunkt" sind. Für daheim habe ich mir keinen gekauft.Das "entstrunken" geht schnell und effektiv, Reinigung in der Spülmaschine, fertig.
