OXO Good Grips Pineapple Corer & Avocado Slicer Set - Quick Prep Kit

Our review of the OXO Good Grips Stainless Steel Pineapple Corer & Slicer plus the 3-in-1 Avocado Slicer finds this duo best for home cooks who want fast, consistent fruit prep without fuss. The biggest reason to buy is simple: both tools turn fiddly jobs into single motions that save time and reduce waste. The pineapple corer cores and slices an entire pineapple in one go with measurement markings to avoid piercing the bottom, while the avocado tool splits, pits and slices in one safe action - together they streamline smoothies, salads and entertaining.

Key Features

• Pineapple corer and slicer: Cores and creates uniform pineapple rings quickly, so you get consistent slices for salads or garnishes without extra knife work.
• Measurement markings: The corer includes height markings that help you stop before piercing the shell, preserving the bottom for bowls or presentations.
• 3-in-1 avocado slicer: Splits, pits and slices an avocado into seven even pieces in one tool, making topping toast or assembling salads faster.
• Comfortable non-slip grips: Both tools have soft, ergonomic handles that improve control during twisting and pitting tasks.
• Easy cleaning and storage: The pineapple corer disassembles and comes with a safety cap, and both pieces are top-rack dishwasher safe for low-maintenance cleanup.

Who It's For

This set is ideal for home cooks, small-scale entertainers and anyone who regularly prepares fresh fruit and wants to save time without buying specialized electric equipment. The tools suit kitchens where quick, repeatable results and easy cleaning matter most.

Those who mainly cut whole fruits with large professional knives or need commercial volumes may look elsewhere; the manual corer accommodates most pineapple sizes but is meant for household use rather than heavy-duty, restaurant throughput.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Easy to use: the ratcheting corer and one-twist avocado pitter make prep noticeably faster than a knife.
• Clean results: stainless steel blades deliver neat rings and even avocado slices with minimal waste.
• Durable and comfortable: solid construction and non-slip grips feel secure and built to last.
• Low-maintenance: parts separate for cleaning and both are top-rack dishwasher safe.

Cons

• Manual size limits: the pineapple corer fits most household pineapples but may struggle with very small or unusually shaped fruit.
• Single-purpose for pineapple: it cores and slices rings only, so other cutting styles still require a knife.
