How and with the help of which can one easily peel cherries?

Cherries and cherries are quite common among berry lovers, tasty and beautiful pastries, jams, compotes, as well as among people who care about their health. However, to fully enjoy the delicacy interfere with the bones inside the pulp. Therefore, the question of their extraction is relevant from year to year. In this article we will reveal the most convenient methods for obtaining juicy berries without a significant investment of time and effort.

In the first place, many housewives seek to clean the flesh for security purposes. This is due to the fact that the cherry bone contains a toxic substance - hydrocyanic acid. Overdose of this poison in most cases entails a deterioration of the state of the body, up to severe poisoning. In addition, there is a risk of choking bone (especially for small children).

When preserving cherries as jam or compote, please note that by removing the stones, you extend the shelf life of the product at least 2-3 times.

Peeling cherries and getting a bone is not difficult, considering all our recommendations.

To date, developed a huge number of methods for extracting seed from cherries or cherries. In addition, each of them has its advantages and disadvantages. Below we consider the most popular methods, as well as special equipment that will help you enjoy your favorite berry.

In this case, take the cherry in hand and pull out a bone, revealing the flesh with your thumbs. This method is the easiest, not requiring special skills and equipment. It is worth noting that this method is the slowest, the cherry acquires an unattractive appearance, and the hands and surrounding objects become dirty and sticky from the juice.

This method will save your time and allow you to preserve the juiciness of the berries. To do this, enter the pin with the lower end into the cutting area, pick up and remove the bone. Likewise, you can also use a wire, a pin or a regular paper clip. However, this method is suitable only for a small amount of cherries (or cherries).

In most cases, this device is equipped with a hole on one handle, and a pin on the opposite. When compressing the handles, the pin is pressed on the cherry, as a result of which a bone comes out of it. This method is certainly optimal, but just like the previous one, not suitable for a large number of berries.

If you need to handle a fairly large fruit, then this method will suit you for sure. First of all, you should find a bottle with a narrow neck and a wand (not thicker than 5 mm). Then place the berry on the neck (cutting up) and pierce it with a stick. As a result, the bone will be inside the bottle. It should be noted that any other container can be used in the same way (for example, a bucket from mayonnaise or an ordinary jar).

In this case, you need to pierce the cherry, grab and remove the bone, which is also quite inconvenient. As a result, you get ugly berries, dirty hands and a lot of time spent.

This equipment will allow you to process a significant amount of berries in a short period of time. In most cases, these machines are made from food grade plastic.They consist of a container where the cherry (or sweet cherry) is placed, a special container for the extracted seeds, as well as a chute, along which the peeled berries are moved to a pre-installed dish.

In order to bring the mechanism of this device into action, it is necessary to press the handle - piston. It should be noted that there are machines that allow you to remove several bones at once. Such a device will allow you to process a bucket of cherries in just half an hour. In addition to this berry, machines can also process olives. In this case, the cost of the device is relatively small - within one thousand rubles. It depends on the complexity, the principle of operation of the device, as well as from the manufacturer.

Despite the obvious and significant advantages, the use of this equipment has some disadvantages. For example, for more effective work of such a machine you need to learn how to pierce cherries strictly in the center (otherwise the stone will remain in place). Also, sometimes you have to push the berries along the gutter with your hands. And the cleaned pulp has holes on both sides, which implies a loss of juice and an unpresentable appearance.

Such units have a high cost, impressive dimensions and are used exclusively in large enterprises. In this case, the cherry is placed inside a large gutter in which it is distributed in a row. Then the berry is fixed on a rotating drum. Special metal rods moving synchronously with a cherry are extracted. The amount of processed products in this case can reach ninety pounds per hour of work.

Everyone who wants to have the opportunity to build a machine to remove the cherry seed itself with the help of available tools. The principle of operation of such devices, regardless of the items used, is similar to the work of a ballpoint pen. The main criterion for the design of a homemade device is the use of materials that do not corrode. Otherwise, your device may spoil the berry and very quickly become unusable.

As an example, we describe the most simple to manufacture device for the extraction of pits. To assemble it, you need to purchase a regular syringe and stationery gum. Choose a syringe is recommended based on the size of the berries.

First you need to get rid of the spout and make a hole for stones (about 1 cm). For cherries, a square is cut into the body of the syringe (approximately 1.5 x 1.5 cm). Next, you need to remove the rubber element from the piston and sharpen it with the help of wire cutters (while making the tip in the form of a cross). The length of the sharp part should be about 2.5 cm. Then a hole is made in the rubber cuff, which should pass the end of the piston.

This detail is also needed so that the cherry does not slide off and does not drive into the cylinder. As a spring mechanism in this device is a stationery gum folded several times. It is necessary to fix it in the upper part of the syringe so that when the piston is installed it passes through this elastic, and a small resistance is created.

Due to the variety of methods and devices for the purification of cherries or cherries, you can choose the best option. Below we will look at automatic pitting machines in more detail.

Automatic device for the purification of cherries is used to process a small amount of berries, usually at home.

It was mentioned above that such machines are made with the help of food plastic, which determines their environmental safety and eliminates the likelihood of poisoning with toxic substances.Also to the obvious advantages include the compact size of the device, its low weight (about 400 g), as well as structural strength. Even your child can remove the bones from the cherry, as this device is very easy and quick to assemble, and the sharp parts are hidden in the inside of the unit. They produce such machines both in our country and abroad.

Consider the elements that are included in the package of this design.

• Capacity for stones. It is equipped with special suction cups made of rubber, which provides ease of use, as the unit will not slide on the surface. And the transparency of the container will allow you to control the process of filling.
• The working mechanism. The appearance of this element resembles a syringe containing a metal nozzle.
• Cap. This element includes a special hole for the extracted bones, as well as an inclined recess for filling with cherries, and a chute through which the peeled berries descend into the prepared container.

The principle of operation of this machine is to push a bone out of a cherry (or cherry) with a special nozzle, equipped with a pump mechanism. As a result of one hand movement, the cherry bone will be in a special container, and the peeled berry will roll into your dishes.

Before you start work, you should assemble the machine.

Step-by-step process:

• insert special silicone gaskets into the cover;
• close the container for collecting stones;
• position the base of the lever in the hole;
• set the work item to it.

After assembly, the machine is installed on the working surface with the help of vacuum suction cups. Then, the pre-washed berry is portion-filled in a tray located on the lid, and the piston is pressed. At the end of the work, the container should be free of bones, all parts of the machine should be washed (this can be done not only manually, but also with a dishwasher) and dried. Do not forget to put the protective element on the metal rod. This machine takes up very little space, so you can store it in the kitchen cupboard. It is very easy to remove a bone with its help.

To remove a bone from a cherry or a sweet cherry is a long, painstaking and not very interesting process. However, modern technologies, as well as your ingenuity, will definitely help in this difficult task, saving a significant amount of time and effort.
