How Commercial Stoning & Coring Tools Work
These clever kitchen essentials operate on straightforward mechanical principles. Stoning tools typically feature a plunger mechanism that pushes the stone or pit through the fruit while keeping the flesh intact. Coring tools, meanwhile, use sharp cylindrical blades to remove the central portion of fruits like apples and pears. Most models leverage clever engineering rather than electricity—needing only a firm press or twist. The ergonomic handles provide proper leverage while protecting hands during repetitive use. In just seconds, they transform whole fruits into ready-to-use ingredients, saving your kitchen staff valuable prep time and ensuring consistency across every portion!

Safety Guidelines
- Inspect Regularly Check for loose parts before each use—prevents accidents.

Top Tips for Using Commercial Stoning & Coring Tools
For optimal results, ensure fruits are ripe but firm—overly soft fruits can jam mechanisms. Create a workflow system with separate containers for whole fruits, processed fruits, and waste. Clean tools immediately after use to prevent sticky residue buildup, especially with sweet fruits like cherries. For apple corers, a slight twist while pressing creates the cleanest cut. And always check the first few processed fruits to ensure proper alignment before processing in bulk.
