Chef'n StemGem Strawberry Stemmer - C34
It's summer... and we're surrounded by wonderful strawberries! And if you have strawberries, and if you’re going to serve them over a dessert like Guilt-Free Panna Cotta or strawberry shortcake, or with champagne (or anything else you can imagine), you will want to hull them (remove the stem and core). You can do this with a knife, if you’re brave and have good knife skills, but you risk both your fingers and a lot of the strawberry...and it’s pretty tedious. And there are lots of gadgets out there to stem strawberries, but none of them have risen to the level of a Cool Tool...until now...
The Chef’n StemGem, praised as very useful by Cooks Illustrated, is truly a wonderful and clever strawberry huller--it has a claw that you open by pressing a button (that looks like a stem) and by varying the pressure you put on the button, you can adjust the opening to fit the size of the strawberry. Then when you release the button, the claw closes around the strawberry stem and core, a simple twist, and you have it out with no damage to either the strawberry or your fingers.
The StemGem looks like a fat friendly strawberry, so you can find it in your drawer. And you can feel comfortable teaching your kids to use this and help you with dinner prep--something you’d never want to do with a knife!
The initially-skeptical Kennedy steps in here: what Chef'n and everyone else missed is ... the StemGem works great to core tomatoes ... so the season continues ...for a short while!
