Consider the OXO stainless steel pineapple corer when you want ring-shaped slices and would like to keep the outer shell standing. Its fixed round cutter separates flesh from the core and shell. If you just want chunks and prefer to trim around each fruit’s shape, that cutting path is a constraint rather than the main attraction.

A round cut inside an irregular fruit

The cutter follows a circular path instead of peeling around the pineapple’s outside. That is the tradeoff: it can leave a shell around the cut, but it does not adjust to every fruit’s outline. Do not expect it to recover all the flesh near the skin or suit every pineapple size.

The top still needs to be removed separately with a knife. Buying this corer does not eliminate that preparation or turn a whole, untouched pineapple straight into ready-to-serve pieces.

The depth marks leave the decision with you

OXO’s ratcheting handle turns the cutter down into the exposed fruit. It is a manual tool, not a powered slicer. The ratchet changes the turning action; we have not tested how much effort it takes.

The markings on the shaft help you judge when the cutter is approaching the bottom. They are a reference, not an automatic stop. If keeping the shell is part of your serving plan, that distinction matters: neither the marks nor the photos guarantee an intact base.

Why the handle comes off

The sliced flesh collects around the shaft. Removing the black handle opens that end so the fruit can slide off; the separation also provides access for cleaning. It is an output-release feature, not just a way to make the tool smaller.

The photo below makes the result easier to judge: the sliced flesh is outside the pineapple, while the central core remains visible inside the shell. You can cut the slices into smaller pieces afterward, but if arbitrary chunks are your only goal, you do not need to organize the first cut around a cylinder.

These are product demonstrations, not instructions for safe hand placement. The cutting surfaces and teeth are sharp, including during fruit release and cleaning. Keep hands clear of them and follow the complete instructions supplied with the tool. OXO labels this model dishwasher-safe; use its supplied care directions rather than assuming a rack position or temperature.

Choose it for the shell-and-slice result

The linked selection is one OXO Good Grips Stainless Steel Pineapple Corer & Slicer, model 3108300, with a silver shaft and black ratcheting handle. It is the stainless steel version, not OXO’s plastic pineapple slicer. Fruit and cutting boards shown are not included.

For ring-shaped slices with the possibility of retaining the shell, this design has a clear purpose. For trimming closely around the fruit before cutting chunks, a knife gives you a different kind of control. Choose between those results, rather than expecting perfect rings, maximum yield or an unbroken shell from every pineapple.
