It drives me nuts when I slice a perfectly ripened nectarine or peach in half, only to have the pit split. Then I’m stuck continuing to cut it in half again and again trying to get all of the stone out, only to have a tiny (but rock hard) sliver remain, which I then bite into… so unpleasant. But there’s a quick and easy solution: the big end of your melon baller. You know, that thing in the back of your tool drawer that you never use. Well, this post, Let’s Fix it: Melon Baller Tricks makes this simple kitchen tool your new best friend and a permanent fixture in the drying rack. Simply scoop out the pit with the large end of the tool and presto! No more broken pit bits to accidentally eat. This is also the tool I use to core apples before I slice them for pies or salads. Tiny plum stones that are stuck in the plum are easily removed as well, especially when you’re working on a plum cake. Let’s Fix it: Melon Baller Tricks is just one more little way to make cooking more comfortable.Simple stupid, right?
