Hi, is the pineapple insert stick long enough for most pineapples or is it a little too short as some of the other corers?

I have used it on various sizes and have found it works well on all of them. The only thing you have to watch is to make sure you don't core too far through the base of the pineapple. It is an excellent product.

I've not had that trouble with it. The insert stick is approx. 7 inches long. If it seems too short for you, cut a little more off the top of the pineapple. I use it weekly and love it.

This is long enough for a regular pineapple. It will bore through the entire pineapple with ease.

I've never had a problem with it being too short. It's a great, reasonable corer.

I get tall pineapples from Costco and it is plenty long enough. I'm still loving this gadget!

The stainless steel pineapple slicer only comes in the medium size that makes 3-1/4" diameter wide slices. Most pineapples can take the larger 3-3/4" diameter slicer, which is more economical than using the medium, because the slices will be 1/2" wider. Doesn't sound like much, but the extra 1/2" gives you 33% more pineapple. I, too, wish that Vacu Vin made a large stainless steel slicer.

I have the stiff stick which is 23" in length. I'm 6 ft in height and have more firm muscles. If your muscles are not as firm you may need the original stick - which is less stiff

I don't think so. There is extra room with the 1/4 lb. stick but the length means it needs to be in the middle of the dish. Do you have the dimensions of the 1/2 lb. stick? I am thinking it is more square.

I love this item. It removes the outer shell and the core all at once. You will have rings, but all connected in a spiral pattern. I then cut the "pineapple spiral" up in bite-size pieces. It's fast and easy.

I don't use pins that long. I use old fashioned thumb tacks that are a little less than 1/2 inch long. I also use push pins that are about 1/2 inch. I ran out of short pins and used a couple of pins that were 1 inch long, but I didn't stick them all the way in because they were too long, but they did hold the items on the board. If you have a choice, I suggest the 1/2 inch range.

Not in the traditional sense. You cut off the top of the pineapple and insert the device as you would use a cork screw. Spin it all the way down and you pull out spiral slices of pineapple free of the core and the skin. Exactly as pictured.

No. It's not large enough for even a small pineapple. Plus I don't think the blade could handle it. We use this:All Ware Stainless Steel Pineapple Easy Slicer and De-Corer

There's not much left after using the tool on a normal size pineapple. I don't know that I've ever had very large ones that I've dealt with. I like it much better than slicing myself and then you can use the empty shell for other things like decoration or my kids even have used it to drink out of.

I have had a couple of the shorter sticks in it at a time... I usually use the regular, longer sticks...I don't want a whole pound of butter out at once, but I have thought if I wanted to, I could unwrap and put an entire pound of the long sticks into this butter dish.. not sure how a pound of the shorter ones would work.

The recommended pineapple size is 3-5 pounds. Therefore, the diameter of the fruit will be minimum of 4 inches. The core is efficiently removed and all the juice is retained with minimal waste. The pineapple shell can be used to serve individual tropical drinks. I purchased one for myself and was soooo satisfied with the speed and ease of use that I bought another as a gift.Highly recommend this item.

You want the stick to be about shoulder high so that it will be comfortable for you to hold the stick either over the top or around the top of the stick comfortably....you could also just put your height and age in your order as a note to the folks who make these. Good luck!!

This machine does fine with pineapple as long as you alternate with hard carrots. A little soft, then hard, soft, hard....and so on...I do this every two or three days. No clogs. Give it a try! Enjoy!

I have the tenor version of this case. It's padding is molded to the shape of a standard uke (upper bout/lower bout). A pineapple might fit, but unless the waist between the bouts was a perfect fit, the uke might shift around during travel. Padding is very firm and feels protective otherwise. I remember Lanakai referencing this case as being compatible with one of their pineapple models, but I can't be sure this wasn't an automated product linking... I'd want to try it in person, especially for a vintage use like yours. Good case for the money. Good luck!

Not on this item. The slices are universal. Which I've found to be the perfect width. Not too skinny and not to fat.I watch my wife slice a pineapple the old fashioned way while I zip through mine in a quarter the time with this handygizmo.

You know I haven't tried it but I have thought of it, there have been huge apples and smaller apples I have used in the slicer as long as you line up the core it still works the same ... It can do the same with other fruits big n small as well !! Go for it

If it is a large pineapple some will be wasted. It has done well for me on the average size pineapple.
