Hey Everyone!
Ben and Julia from Konkin Can Do, and we're going to be pitting some cherries today.
So later tonight, we're making some maraschino cherries, but we don't have a cherry pitter,
so what are we going to do?
I'm certainly not going to eat my way to the centre, that ends badly.
We have two techniques and we're going to find out which is the fastest.
Here we go.
So the first technique is the paper clip technique.
All you need for this is bunch of cherries and a paper clip.
Apparently all you have to do is open the paper clip, like so.
Grab a cherry, and dig this paper clip into the top of the cherry, and scoop out the pit.
What we're going to do is we're going to set a timer for one minute and we're going to
see how many cherries each of us can do.
I'm covered in blood!
Ready?
Yeah.
Go!
What were your thoughts?
Um, very stabby, on the front of this thing stabbing me constantly so I found when the
cherries were, in my opinion, too soft, they worked really well, but when the cherries
were nice and firm.
I thought that it was way too messy, pretty much just ended up tearing the cherries with
my fingers half the time.
So how many did you get?
Nine.
Ten.
Ah ha!
Yeah, but mine are mostly full and complete.
So basically, if you're trying to do a cherry pie, expect to probably spend like and hour
pitting these cherries.
On to the next.
Alright, for trial number two, big shout out to Warren and Nicki.
Hey guys!
Thank you for this little tip.
We are going to try to pop the pit of our cherry into the bottle, using the end of a
chopstick.
Like so.
Yeah, let's try that out.
Nailed it.
Okay, let's give this a try.
Ready?
Ready.
Go!
As you can see, my hands are covered in cherry juice.
Delicious cherry juice.
I can see that I've already gotten way more than with the last technique.
Absolutely, it is way easier, the cherries look better at the end, even though you do
lose a little bit more on the bottom.
It's just, it's a way nicer product and not nearly as stabby.
I got 15 cherries, I got 13.
One word of advice, after you've popped the pit through the cherry, just double check
on the bottom cause there were a couple times when the pit actually stayed attached to the
cherry, I just had to lightly rip it off.
I was using a few times letting the cherry stay here cause you could see that little
guy hanging on before you pop him in.
There you go.
Technique number two wins the day.
Yeah Warren, yeah Nicki, you guys.
Way to go!

to kind of thing, just comment below.
I don't even know what we're doing.
We're dancing.
You're ridiculous.
I love you.
