The newest kitchen tool

Well, why not? Ya might wanta invest in a stainless steel bit, though. That tomato juice could taste kinda funny.

We want pictures! :o)

Seriously, wasn’t it really messy? It sounds like if you are not careful enough or your attention slips for a second, the splash can attain disastrous proportions.

Just one thing though: Tomato juices are very acidic so you’d better take care of that bit and clean it and oil it well afterwards if you wanna keep it for a long time… And to your wife, tell her not to worry, I’m pretty sure we all here have similar tales that we could share.

Just accept it: You can’t put together a man and some tools and don’t expect something crazy to happen anytime…

Watch out, Alton Brown!

Can’t wait to see the pix!

Without seeing it in action, I wonder where my tomato-holding hand would be relative to that spinning bit? Maybe it was spinning really slowly?

fast sure, but clean?... well maybe cleaner than using your fingers.

I did two small batches last week – prob 6+ pounds of Romas, but it felt like it took quite a while… You definatly have me beat on time!

I didn’t take any pics, but I will stage some pics for your curiousity. It wasn’t messy at all. I think it was actually less messy than using a knife or grapefruit knife. I just held the tomato over the sink and clean up was a snap. I would set the point of the bit in the middle of the core and just tap the trigger a couple of times. It leaves a perfect 1/2 inch deep hole and the core comes out as little shreds much like saw dust.

I have a blender ‘bit’ that i use to mix cakes and cookies with my cordless drill, more power and better battery life makes mixing so much easier!

Was it a 14.4 or 18v drill ? Might get a little heavy after a while.

I bet one of those little lith\ion screw drivers would be less tiring.

Better yet . . . bring the tomatos out to the shop and insert the bit into the lathe or drill press. Hmmmmm

Hey . . . Im just letting my creative juices fly. :-)

Tooltime Taylor look out!! :)

I guess you’d have to be as safety conscious with this as with a knife .. especially after an afternoon of the same task . yikes!

Yes, we want pictures or better yet—a video clip!

That is awesome! I’m sitting here looking at 15+ pounds that we’re going to make into sauce and salsa today… I was going to have to core every one!... you know I’m going to have to try this… lol.

Maybe a call to the drill manufacturer could lead to a ‘hole’ new avenue to explore. Lets see, cantaloupe de-seeding, apple de-coring, yes folks, it’s the new CORE-A-MATIC.
