  • Top Marks for Durability: The full metal construction means it will outlast cheaper models tenfold.
  • A Bit of a Squeeze: Can require a firm grip for particularly tough or large olive pits.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Olive Branch Deli in Bath was struggling with the time-consuming task of pitting olives by hand for their popular Mediterranean salads and  antipasti platters. Their old, plastic pitter was slow and  frequently broke, causing frustrating delays during peak hours.

"We were going through a plastic pitter every other month and  the mess was just dreadful. The Tellier DN970 is in a different league. It's solid, fast, and  hasn't missed a beat. Our prep for the olive bar is now done in less than half the time, and  the fruit isn't bruised at all."

David Fletcher – Owner

By switching to the Tellier stoner, The Olive Branch Deli reduced its olive preparation time by over 50%, allowing staff to focus on other tasks and  improving overall kitchen efficiency.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Give it a thorough wash in warm, soapy water before its first use.
  • Unlock the handle to open the pitter and  familiarise yourself with the simple squeezing action.
  • Place a cherry or olive in the designated cup.
  • Position a bowl underneath to catch the pits and  the fruit.

Keeping It Going

  • Clean promptly after each use to prevent fruit acids from sitting on the metal.
  • Hand-washing is recommended to maintain its condition for years to come.
  • Ensure the tool is completely dry before storing to prevent any water spots.
  • Use the locking handle to store it safely and  compactly in your utensil drawer.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Fruit Pitter

Not sure which fruit pitter is right for your kitchen? Here are a few things to keep in mind to help you make the best choice.

Material Matters

Look for sturdy materials like aluminium or stainless steel. They're far more durable than plastic models, won't stain, and  can handle the repetitive strain of a commercial environment.

Consider Your Volume

For small batches and  garnishes, a handheld tool like this Tellier DN970 cherry stoner is perfect. If you're pitting sacks of fruit daily, you might look at a larger, hopper-fed fruit pitter machine.

Storage and  Safety

Kitchen space is always at a premium. A tool with a locking handle is a fantastic feature for safe, compact, and  tidy storage in a busy utensil drawer.

Ease of Cleaning

Choose a pitter with a simple design. Fewer moving parts and  a smooth finish mean less time spent cleaning and  a more hygienic tool overall.

Fruit Size

Check that the pitter is suitable for the size of cherries or olives you use most often. Most are versatile, but it's worth double-checking for unusually small or large varieties.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the Tellier DN970 made from?

A: It is constructed from durable, lightweight aluminium, making it ideal for frequent professional use.

Q: Can this tool handle different sizes of olives?

A: Yes, it's designed to work with most standard-sized olives and  cherries. Very large or unusually shaped olives might be a tighter fit.

Q: Is this commercial cherry and  olive stoner dishwasher safe?

A: To ensure its longevity and  maintain the finish, we recommend hand-washing with warm, soapy water.

Q: How does the locking handle work?

A: There's a small metal loop at the end of the handles. Simply squeeze them together and  slip the loop over the end to keep the tool securely closed for storage.

Q: Will it crush the fruit when I remove the pit?

A: No, it's designed to push the pit out cleanly, leaving the fruit whole and  intact, which is perfect for presentation.

Q: Is it heavy to use for long periods?

A: Not at all. It weighs just 0.18kg, so it's very lightweight and  designed to minimise hand strain during repetitive tasks.

Q: Can it be used for anything other than cherries and  olives?

A: It is specifically designed as a cherry and  olive pit removal tool, but it may work for other small, soft stone fruits of a similar size.

Q: Why choose an aluminium pitter over a plastic one?

A: Aluminium offers superior durability and  hygiene. It won't crack under pressure, doesn't absorb odours or stains, and  will last significantly longer in a professional kitchen environment.

This not only protects the tool's pitting mechanism from getting knocked about but also makes your drawers more organised and  safer for everyone. It’s a thoughtful piece of design that shows the tool was made with the realities of a working kitchen in mind.
