160 pounds of pears in a week-wouldn't have wanted to do it without this!Sep 13, 2009
By AJ
I canned pears for the first time last year with a friend. She had this awesome little tool for coring the pears. It worked beautifully. Use the little side for the stem parts, and the wide fat end for beautifully taking out the seed filled core. Her tool was like this OXO Good Grips Fruit and Vegetable corer, but with a blue all wooden handle and a much stronger metal for the corer.
I ordered 6 boxes of pears from a local farm and had no desire to do the pears with out the corer I used with my friend. So I ordered this one. It worked great. However, I think the metal on this one is not near as strong as the one with the blue wooden handle. If I order more corers (for more helping hands around the canning jars) I will probably look for the blue wooden handled one.
(I think this item right here, may be the blue wooden handled one my friend had. This looks exactly the same without holding it in my hand...)Pear Corer double bladed.

 Works well but is too fragileNov 24, 2009

The corer works well on softer fruit but bends easily on harder things like apples, bosc or Asian pears. It also needs to be sharper. That would solve part of the proble, but it needs to be stronger.
 Don't do pears without it!Nov 17, 2011
By J. Olsen
I don't know if some reviewers got in on a bad batch of corers, or what, but this little tool I have (OXO brand) is anything but fragile. I canned a box of pears recently and I helped my daughter do some pear sauce. We were each armed with our corer and it worked so well. I often make pear pie and this little tool has made prepping the pears easier than I ever imagined possible. There is nothing flimsy about the metal blade on the one I own, but I don't think it is sharp enough to do hard fruits and vegetables. For doing pears alone, this is worth it to me.
Terrific ToolOct 06, 2011

I used this tool for the first time at the LDS cannery and it was a marvel. So I looked on amazon and found one just like it. I have canned dozens of pears this year and this tool really speeds up the process.
SHAME ON OXO Don't bother if you are doing more than 2 dozen pearsSep 19, 2011
By Deanna Russell
Every year my husband and I put up pears. The hardest part of this is coring. I found this on the web and when I saw the product was made by Oxo I immediately decided on it. I liked it over the others because of the comfortable grip and it was made by OXO. Today we decided to put up a 5 gallon pail of RIPE pears. The corer worked wonderfully, but it didn't take long to find a MAJOR problem. After a couple of dozen pears I was having to straighten the shaft after coring each pear half and I don't believe it will last through another dozen. The shaft is nothing more than a thin hollow metal tube. I can really think of another way to spend my money. My suggestion to OXO pears are not a soft fruit and it doesn't do any good to have a comfortable grip if the rest of the corer won't hold up. It wasn't a lot of money, but a complete waste. The biggest waste is my time. Tomorrow I plan on doing the rest of the pears with a spoon and knife. Oh yes, I'm ordering the one I saw with the wooden handle.
