Why are we still peeling pineapples like cavemen? 🛠️🍍 This gadget does it perfectly in seconds. Lazy? Maybe. Smart? Absolutely. #pineapplehack #funnyvideo #asmrcooking #foodhacks #cooksky #beestrot

🙋🏻‍♂️🙋🏻‍♂️🙋🏻‍♂️ Is it because in 99.99% of cases we peel them in single numbers a day using *checks OP wording* ‘cavemen’ tools like a kitchen knife, where the use of a chunky, commercial-scale pineapple peeler rig is as nonsensical as a domestic kitchen apple-peeler gadget? Also, video has ‘caveman’ action 🙄🤦🏻

That occupies a lot of kitchen real estate, especially countertop. I peel them in virtually the same amount of time using a chef's knife and a cutting board...maybe 6 times/year. Might be good for a commercial operation. All others would do better learning proper knife skills.

Because personally, I never have more than one pineapple at a time to peel, I don't have any room in my kitchen for another gadget, and I suspect that the time required to clean that thing will outweigh the time saved by not just using a knife.

I dunno, man, any cavemen who came across the wild precursors of modern pineapple cultivars were looking at a fruit much difference in size shape appearance and spininess than what modern or even pre-Columbian-exchange 15th century South American agriculture produced!

Used to have one of those old fashioned crank peelers (they still sell them) that could peel AND core an apple on a rotisserie spike. 🍎 The day someone sells one for pineapples (without defacing it to get the pockmarks out), I will shove money down their throat. 🍍😋

Yeah, they're great if you have way too many apples coming at you in Autumn. You can peel; peel & core; or peel & core & slice all in one operation. What pops out is actually a spiral, but one knife cut and magically you have circles of apple, just right for lining a pie, or sausagemeat hotpot

But does it make julienne fries? I'm not buying it unless it makes julienne fries. Well, maybe if they throw in a vinyl car top repair kit. Those are always useful.

I lived in the Phillipines over 50 years ago. I could buy a pineapple for about 5 cent and for another 3 cent the vendor would peel it for you and bag it. He used a machete and it looked just like that when he was done

Because if you want the occasional pineapple, even one or two a week, who has the room to store this thing and every other professional gadget out there.
