I know. I know. We all want to be minimalist heroes. But sometimes, the best tool is a tool that was designed for the job.
A good cherry pitter costs about ten bucks. It looks like a weird staple gun. You load the cherry in, squeeze the handle, and—ping—the pit flies out.
Is it less romantic than a paperclip? Absolutely. Does it work faster than anything else on the planet? You bet your stained apron it does.
If you’re pitting more than a pound, just buy the pitter. Your sanity is worth ten dollars. Your countertops will thank you.
