I my opinion, for what it may be worth, you would be better off buying pre-stoned Olives or like the ancient Romans and Greeks, put up with the stones and serve with a side plate for them! Olives on the stone are afterall much firmer, tastier and less processed. This mangled every olive I tried to de-stone! even the firmer green variety. If you are not making tapenade then don't even bother to stone black olives because they get completely mushed. The idea is simple, the procees easy but the results are awful. I have never tried doing cherries like the other reviewer here but her testament kind of suggests it's not worth the effort. I say enjoy the cherry stones, it is naughty but it is also enormous fun spitting them out (so long as you don't litter!) I would say try other fruits with wee, wee children and teach them how to eat cherries when they are old enough, you could even plant the pit to get the child into the joys of gardening and home produced food.
My stoner is now my Mother's property, an avid dressmaker, she uses it mark out where buttons need to go on finer fabrics. Other than this use I would suggest not wasting your money.

I got one of these so that I could safely feed my toddlers cherries and fancy olives more easily...this pitter served that purpose very well. If your goal is to pit enough cherries for a pie or similar recipe, however, this is *not* the cherry pitter for you. I just spent an hour and a half using this thing to pit enough cherries for a cobbler - not something I ever plan to do again. Until I get a plunge-style pitter, I plan on keeping cherries in the "delicious snack" category, not in the "baking ingredient" one.

This board is constructed of VERY soft material. All of the reasons that I ordered this were lost the first time that I used it.
All of the knife marks are places where germs can accumulate. (Yes, I wash it, but sometimes my husband does.) My main reason for buying this board was because it was listed as "nonporous", if that is the reason you are looking at this board, forget it. ...

Every slice of the knife leaves a cut on the surface of this board. If that bothers you, you should get something else that's made of harder stuff. If you need to get something so you can stop using the dinner plates and counter top as a cutting surface, or if you like soft cutting boards (I think they feel better against the edge of the knife) then this might be right for you. Basically, it's under ten dollars and it's probably better than the one they have hanging up above the shelves at your local super market.

This is a very functional cutting board. Used it to replace a wodden cutting board I'd been using for years. My only complaint is that there are no feet on the bottom of the board to keep it from sliding around, but solved the problem by purchasing some from [local store] that you can attach yourself.

Nice solid counter top wastebasket. Lid. however, does not always stay on when putting waste in the can and its very hard to hold the lid on and out trash in at the same time.

I got this trash can to put on the counter next to my coffee maker for discarded Sweet & Low packages. I love how it fits in with my black and stainless appliances. The item itself works pretty good for the most part. The only issue I have found with it is the lid fits loosely on the base and slides off when putting something in it. to remedy the issue, I am planning to drill a tiny hole in the sides and out a tiny hand screw on each side of the lid to hold it firmly in place.

I'm not sure if a review is the appropriate forum to mention that actually finding this item or one like it on the web was very difficult to locate. Perhaps additional keywords can be added to the item to make it easier to find. I used search terms like "mini trash can," counter top trash can," "small waste basket," small stainless steel trash can," but none of these got me to this item. I'm not sure how my husband finally found it.

Great little wastebasket that can sit on top of a table for things like used sugar packets. It is a bit bigger than I had hoped, but still works for me. I also like the fact that it is stainless steel, so it'll last forever, and it is well made.
