Westmark Plum Stoner "Steinfix" - #4025

Plum pitter

Great appliance. Works fast and easy to clean. I would recommend

Plum Good

I ordered this late in the season for our few trees so will use it next year. On the few plumbs I had remaining...the space between the blade and the hole could be 1/8 to 1/4 inch larger for some of our home grown large California plums. However, next year, the bulk of the regular sized plum ought to roll through fairly well. If you are reading this, you know that plum stones are difficult to get out by hand. This is a hardy blade and it reasonably extracts the pit without tearing too much of the flesh away, though indeed, some. This Stoner is much better than struggling by hand and I'm thankful that Loewen offers such a tool. I will be able to dehydrate nearly the whole crop next year, now that I have this Stoner.

Needs improvement

The plum pitter is better than doing it by hand but it needs a lot of improvement. The whole is a little too big for a regular size damson plum and a lot of them slipped through the hole. Also, the metal plunger came loose after hitting just a few damsons. It was very frustrating until finally I glued it. It has not come out since.
