Triangle Fruit + Veggie Corer
We all need to eat more fruits and vegetables, and we’re just about to enter prime fruit and vegetable season. But one annoying issue with all that natural goodness are the seeds that need to be removed quickly, easily and efficiently. Using a knife - whether a ‘typical’ paring knife or something with an even-shorter blade - can be awkward, leading to small finger cuts or uneven sizes of cut fruits and veggies and is often unnecessarily time-consuming. This can be a problem, anytime, but it’s especially true when you need to perform similar tasks for multiple dishes or large quantities, or when you become pressed for time! So how do you do that? Well, have we got a Cool Tool for you!
The folks at Triangle - a third-generation family-owned German design and manufacturing company based in Solingen Germany - have addressed this issue (and many others!) initially for their restaurant-kitchen customers and now for home cooks in Europe and North America.
Their Fruit + Veggie Corer features a comfortably-sized plastic composite handle with 2-sizes of looped blades of German stainless steel, each loop is honed on both sides to allow easy use by either left or right-handed cooks. After cutting your cucumber, zucchini, or pear (for example) open to expose the interior seeds, you decide the desired depth and width of removal and then simply slide the Corer blade under the now-exposed seeds and gently draw the Corer along, under the seeds, to prepare your cucumber for seedless slicing, or to cut a trough in your zucchini (or potato) for stuffing; the possibilities are limited only by your imagination! And all in a multi-faceted, purely functional design that will fit easily in your drawer and also is dishwasher safe!
Triangle is based in Solingen, the historic capital of German steel, and uses German stainless steel and other food-safe components in their products, with a major emphasis on protecting the environment: they recycle and upcycle many parts of their products, and even create new products from these efforts. The Fruit + Veggie Corer is an ingenious, highly adaptable, beautifully designed tool, developed as a solution to ‘real kitchen’ problems. Definitely a Cool Tool, from a cool company!
