Kitchen Essential, Recipe included with review
I have to admit to liking kitchen gadgets, but when I first saw one of these I thought it was a little silly, I only bought because I did not have prime and I was bringing up my cart to enough for free shipping.Once I started using this, I wonder how I ever managed to get a quart of strawberries prepared before I owned one of these.It works well on all sizes of berries, occasionally I might have to “stem” a berry twice to get all of the stem off, but usually it only takes one try. As my hands have gotten “older” I find using this not only saves time, it is easier on my hands.With this and the strawberry slicer I can prepare strawberries for shortcake in only a few minutes, and the mostly even slices from a strawberry slicer make for a nicer looking presentation when I serve dessert.When choosing strawberries, I go by appearance first, and the aroma second, the strongerthe aroma of the berries, the better they will taste, and the less sugar needed to sweeten them. So if you see someone in the grocery “smelling” the strawberries, they are probablynot crazy. : )Just a note on the recipe, I had never seen strawberry shortcake on actual cake until I was in my 30’sMy mother always made strawberry shortcake on biscuits. My kids will probably never forget the daythat I saw Emeril Lagasse making strawberry shortcake on biscuits on his show and I shouted out tomy family “See, I’m not crazy!” : )I like strawberry shortcake on biscuits because the less sweet taste of the biscuits keeps the fresh fruit flavorof the berries from being overwhelmed by the taste of cake.My favorite shortcake:1 quart ripe strawberries.1 package Pillsbury Grands Honey Butter Biscuits2 to 4 teaspoons of sugar, brown, raw, or tableadjust level of sweetness to your taste, I useless of the sugar if I am adding the brown sugar.Real whipped cream. I usually use the refrigerated type in a can,for a lactose intolerant version use Cool Whip, thawed for about half an hour (see note at end)when preparing strawberries, I cut off any discolored areas, or any really mushy areaswith a paring knife once they have been washed and drained, and had the stems removed.Sometimes it is almost impossible to find almost perfect berries.I slice the strawberries directly into a medium sized mixing bowl, lightly sprinkle withsugar, mix gently with a spoon.Bake the biscuits according to package directionsLet the biscuits cool slightly after removing them from the oven.Split the biscuits in half, I generally use a total of 4 half biscuits per servingspoon the sliced sweetened berries over the biscuits and top with the whipped cream.Serve and enjoy!For toddlers and preschool age children, I break the biscuits into bite sized pieces andmix with some of the berries in a bowl and then top with the whipped cream.(note) I have gotten more lactose as I have gotten older, the Cool Whip is not as goodat least in my opinion, as the whipped cream, but if I am feeling a bit wild and crazyI mix the Cool Whipped and real whipped cream half and half for my serving, so I don’tenvy everyone that gets to eat theirs with real whipped so much

Must have for strawberry lovers!!
I used this once on some fresh strawberries I purchased, and as someone who dislikes biting around strawberry cores, this little gadget is life changing. It’s so cute and small but does the job so well (and fast!). I’m glad I went for the name brand!

I don’t usually buy gadgets that do one job, but this one is worth it.
I purchase red items for my kids on valentines day, then make a game out of it. I sent one of these to my son’s family and another to my college age son (along with a red hand mixer for the college kiddo who attends University of Alabama…..roll Tide y’all!). Both were told they had to wait to open their box for further instruction. Feb 13th, I sent cash via Venmo and told them I’d send a shopping list in the morning. I sent the shopping list for cheesecake stuffed strawberries (strawberries, cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla, and graham cracker) The game is even more fun if you send the wife $5 and tell her to pick up strawberries and powdered sugar, then send the hubs money to pick up cream cheese and vanilla, but don’t tell either of them that you messaged the other one). Then I finally told them they could open their amazon box and they found this little contraption which perfectly removes strawberry stems. They had fun creating a little treat (dipped the cream cheese side into graham cracker crumbs). My kids love a goofy little game. This does a great job removing the stems.

Durante los últimos meses, he estado influenciado por la moda de los smoothies de frutas, semillas, etc. muy natural pues; y este pequeño artefacto hace un excelente trabajo removiendo la parte que hay que limpiar de las fresas, o sea la parte del lado verde que es donde más suciedad pueden acumular estos deliciosísimos frutos.Al principio me costó un poco (tal vez unas 5 o 6 fresas) entender la mecánica y lógica de éste producto, y esque hay que tomar en cuenta los siguientes factores:1- Empujar el botón verde para abrir la pinza, tanto como sea necesario; esto dependiendo del tamaño de la fresa (o qué tanto quieras remover de la fresa).2.- Colocar la pinza abierta justo en el centro del area a remover.3.- Hacer un poco de presión entre la pinza y la fresa Y AL MISMO TIEMPO girar la pinza en un solo sentido para que asi corte el trozo no deseado sin excederse.Estos pasos hay que repetirlos con cada fresa; tengan paciencia, despues de unos cuantos intentos seguro les va a gustar este producto tanto como a mi.

Having used the tweezer-style hullers with varying success, I thought I’d try this one. It really is a very efficient little tool and quite satisfying to use; a simple press on the plunger, stick the four blades into the fruit around the leaves, release the plunger, twist, and Bob’s your uncle. I did read one review which said that this huller wasn’t any good for small strawberries but this is wrong- you just don’t push the blades in as far and it works just the same. it also helps that it is a nice little gadget.Out of interest I have also bought one of the very cheap copies of the Chef’n StemGem and although it looks very similar it definately has a flimsier, cheaper feel to it, and the blades are looser- it also arrived without a plunger knob- it must have fallen off before being posted as the missing part wasn’t in the bag!You pays your money as they say…

Kurz-Fazit:+ Aus stabilem Kunststoff+ Robuste Metallgreifer+ Kinderleichte Bedienung+ Funktioniert einwandfrei+ Perfekte gleichmässige ErdbeerenIch liebe Erdbeeren! Sie gehören zu meinem absoluten Lieblingsobst. Da ich seit einem Unfall im Rollstuhl sitze, war es für mich lange Zeit nicht möglich, meine Erdbeeren selber zu entstrunken (habe kaum noch Greifkraft). Durch einen Zufall bin ich auf dieses praktische Helferlein gestossen und möchte es nicht mehr missen! Erdbeeren vom Grünzeug befreien ist so kinderleicht, auch für Kinder und Behinderte – ganz ohne Kraftaufwand und dreckige Finger.Zum Entstrunker:Der Chef’n Erdbeerentstrunker besteht aus einem robusten Schaft aus rotem Kunststoff. Am unteren Ende befindet sich die Greifzange, diese besteht aus vier Metallgreifern. Am oberen Ende ist der grüne Knopf zum Auslösen der Greiffunktion. Sobald man den Knopf drückt, öffnen sich die vier Metallgreifer und man umfasst damit den Strunk (Grünzeug) der Erdbeere. Lässt man den grünen Knopf los, schliessen sich die Metallgreifer und das Grünzeug wird festgehalten. Jetzt dreht man das Werkzeug (oder die Erdbeere) ein bisschen und zieht dann das Werkzeug von der Erdbeere weg. Schwuppdiwupp, das gesamte Grünzeug wurde restlos entfernt und in der Erdbeere verbleibt ein gleichmässiges, schönes Loch (bzw. Kuhle). Auch bei unreifen Erdbeeren die noch halb weiss sind, funktioniert der Entstrunker prima! Selbst eine grosse Schale Erdbeeren lässt sich so schnell und gleichmässig entstrunken. Man muss nicht mehr mit den Fingern herumrupfen oder mit mit einem Messer hantieren. Keine schmutzigen, klebigen Finger und keine Verletzungsgefahr.Ich gebe meinen Erdbeerentstrunker nicht mehr her! Er ist so praktisch, dass mich schon einige Verwandte und Bekannte darauf angesprochen haben und sich dann auch gleich einen bestellt haben. Auch für die Kids ist dieses Helferlein ein grosser Spass, und vor allem ungefährlich! Scharfe Messer haben in Kinderhänden nämlich nichts zu suchen.5 Sterne für eine super Idee, die nicht nur Behinderten wie mir das Erdbeer putzen leichter macht.🍓 Ich gebe mir beim Schreiben all meiner Rezensionen und Bewertungen immer sehr viel Mühe. Ich teste die von mir selbst gekauften Artikel ausgiebig, um anderen Menschen die Kaufentscheidung zu erleichtern.Hat Dir meine Rezension gefallen oder geholfen? Prima, das freut mich! 🍓
