About this deal

We also found that the OXO had a tendency to slice leaves when we twisted, leaving small leaves behind on the strawberry which needed to be removed. p>

The hinged design and soft non-slip handle provides comfort whilst accommodating strawberries (and tomatoes) of all shapes and sizes. Twist and Pull – Give the strawberry huller a twist so that the claws tear the strawberry, cutting a circle in the flesh.

Whether you’re making your yearly batch of fresh strawberry rhubarb jam or prepping your morning smoothies, a good strawberry huller will save a ton of time in the kitchen. We realize this may be a nod to the arthritis-friendly roots of this company as it does make it easier to operate, however it adds a bit of hassle when trying to get the tool to drop the berry hulls after each extraction. After spending over 6 hours hulling tray after tray of strawberries we can safely say that the Chef’n StemGem is the best all-round strawberry huller.

Partner your new Eddington’s Fun Strawberry Huller with lots more kitchen gadgets you never knew you needed! There are several different types of strawberry hullers, but most of them work by inserting a rounded stainless steel claw or sharpened tips, pushing it into the flesh, and twisting the stem to remove. With a bit of practice, we found that this style was far better at not tearing the strawberry flesh of our sweet berries like its toothy counterparts did.

We also don’t think this huller would be that great for anyone with hand mobility issues as it does require some dexterity to hold the tool and simultaneously operate the plunging action. The slicer has seven blades for creating evenly-sized cuts that are ideal for garnishing cakes and snacking with little fingers. It might sound crazy, but there is a whole range of what are essentially mini pairs of tongs in the strawberry-hulling world! One of the best things about this particular huller is that it comes as part of a set, with a super fun, strawberry-shaped berry slicer! Also, despite the carefully designed open ends and sides of this strawberry huller, we still found that plenty of berry cores got stuck inside the device, requiring frequent rinsing under running water to clean things out.By working over a bin or trash can you will quickly be able to discard the hull with one hand while picking up the next strawberry with the other for quick and efficient hulling. I did try it on tomatoes as well, but I think I’ll give it a miss as I ended up wearing most of the seeds as it pops. For example, if you have wrist limitations, opt for a slicing or straw-style huller rather than one that requires twisting. We also appreciate that the tip creates perfectly rounded openings for garnishes and stuffing strawberries with fillings like Nutella or cheesecake. The Casabella Strawberry Huller is also a bit harder to squeeze than the other tong-style hullers we tested, although we do wonder if those rubber bumpers will soften over time and decrease their resistance.

Our friendly and very knowledgeable staff will be more than happy to help you find exactly what you need, so if you are looking for a very specific tool, or a piece of kitchenware that you saw at a friends last week, let us know and we will do our very best to find it for you. The tongs don’t have much bounce back, reducing the pressure you need to squeeze them but also requiring you to manually open them sometimes. And if it comes in retail packaging you will find it translated without being proof read by a native English speaker. We cleaned the tool both by handwashing and by simply tossing it in the dishwasher, which was super convenient.The hinges are spring-loaded, so you can easily tackle a large number of berries in mere seconds, and the stainless steel blades are rounded to create as little waste as possible. When you purchase from us, you can rest assured that you're getting a truly exceptional product that has been carefully crafted to meet your every need.

The hinged design and soft non-slip handle provides comfort whilst accommodating strawberries (and tomatoes) of all shapes and sizes.

The Oxo Good Grips Strawberry Huller quickly hulls strawberries with unique stainless steel, tapered blades. One final positive note, and an important one at that, the company’s focus on ergonomics carries right on through to their packaging. Please note: Stoneware, glass and electrical items can only be delivered to UK addresses (including UK Offshore). We consider this option the best of the best, as it ticks all of the necessary boxes, doing everything you’d expect your trusty strawberry huller to do. RSVP Strawberry Huller – While it worked a little better than the other metal tong-style strawberry hullers in this group ,the RSVP doesn’t feel sturdy and is still far from perfect.

We don’t think this would be a good tool for kids to use, and we also wish the huller came with a shield or tip covers for protection during storage. The strawberry scoop bends too easily and the plastic handle that the two ends fold up into is awkward to hold. Others were too easy to squeeze, which allowed testers to squash the flesh of the strawberry, squeezing out the juice and making a mess. Also, simply put, this strawberry is adorable as they really went the extra mile to color and texturize this thing in a way that resembles an actual strawberry.
