A few decades back there was an item on the market called the Magic Fingers. It was very much like our Pea Sheller Jr. (Mr. Pea Sheller) and our electric Pea Sheller Sr. in that it had 2 rotating rollers that shelled the beans. We found one on Ebay recently (see our pics below). We will give it a try on some peas and beans in a few weeks. That will make for another post here.
You link this gadget up with a hand mixer (or drill I suppose) and you are ready to shell peas.
Check back here later for an update and video of how it works.
These are not available anymore, except at garage sales and ebay. We sell two types of pea shellers that will help you greatly in shelling peas and beans of all types. Check out our Pea Shellers website to get one!
Our very own electric Pea Sheller Sr. (Mr. Pea Sheller). In the summer of 2012 our boys were eager to help up shell a small batch of black-eyed peas from our garden.
Lee Manufacturing has a variety of cherry pitters available!!
It won't be long until the cherry trees will be blossoming! Spring is just around the corner. Not long after that cherries will be making an appearance on cherry trees. Lee Manufacturing Company has several types of cherry pitters available to meet your cherry pitting needs. We have the small and smart Push Button Cherry Pitter. This nifty device fits on top of your Ball canning jar. Place a cherry in the cradle, push the button and BOOM, the pit falls into the jar and you are left with a perfectly pitted cherry!
We also have some larger cherry pitters. These will really speed up the process and save you tons of time, especially if you have buckets of cherries to pit for canning and freezing.
We have the Cherry Pitter Jr. (capable of pitting 5 cherries per stroke of the handle) and it's "Dad", the Cherry Pitter Sr. (this behemoth can pit 10 cherries at a time). Watch the Sr. is action below!
These cherry pitters are sometimes called cherry stoners. They are the same, the names are interchangeable. You could also use these gadgets to pit olives as well.
Check out our website dedicated entirely to cherry pitters, www.cherry-pitter.com. There you will find more about all of our cherry pitters and also find out where to buy them!
