Before getting into the how-to, invest in a pineapple corer that will be easy to use. It is one of the best gadgets you will have in your kitchen – especially if you’re a big fan of pineapple.

So, grab your sweet tropical fruit and follow along as we show you how to use a pineapple corer.
Step-by-Step: Using a Pineapple Corer
Cut Off the Top of the Pineapple
To use the corer, cut off the top of the pineapple.
Place Over the Center of the Pineapple.
Press down to help the corer get a grip, then twist the handle of the corer and allow it to spiral through the fruit.
Pull the Whole Corer Out.
Finally, once you get near the bottom, simply pull the whole pineapple corer out.
Ready to Enjoy!
A delicious, juicy, refreshing pineapple.
Helpful Hack!
You can unwind the fruit from the corer if you want to keep its shape and cut the side of the pineapple to get those pretty pineapple rings.
Easy, right?! Within seconds, you go from having a whole to a perfectly cut pineapple. No more store-bought or canned! Fresh pineapple is the best way to enjoy this tropical fruit, and with a handy gadget, you will want to make more savory pineapple dishes in the future.
Wondering what to do with the leftover shell? The skin of the pineapple is perfect for impressive pineapple cups for your next topical cocktail party or can be used as a beautifully decorated fruit bowl. It is also a great way to show off your ultimate pineapple #BowlGoals.
