🍑 How to use a pair of needle-nose pliers to remove the pit from a clingstone peach. This is the latest trend on the internet so I had to give it a try. The least fun part of cooking with seasonal stone fruit is removing the pit in the center. I know we all love a good kitchen hack. Here’s how to do it so you don’t have to! Step 1: To start, grab some long needle nose pliers. Make sure to clean and sanitize them before use. Food-safe fish boning pliers will also do the trick. (Note: Don’t use pliers from your toolbox! Buy a new pair and make sure to sanitize before use.) Step 2: Once the pliers are clean and ready to use, open the pliers and push the tip all the way in through the top of the peach and clamp down on the pit. While holding the pit firmly, twist and pull to reveal a clean stone right from the center of the fruit, with hardly any excess flesh clinging to it. A few tips: • Use freestone peaches as opposed to clingstone — the pits in freestone peaches are typically less stuck to the flesh of the peach. • I would recommend using needle-nose pliers that have ridges on the inside, as this would help with gripping the slippery pit. • Overall, I think this method worked nicely and efficiently. I might be sticking to the old fashioned method. I’d rather clean off a knife than pliers. . . . #kitchenhacks #peachseason #peaches #trending #baking101 #thebakefeed #wholefoods #bakingtips #tastemademedoit #huffposttaste #food52 #f52grams #goodeats #howto #kitchentips #easyrecipes #bakecookrepeat
