People always want to know the difference between Cherry Pitters and Olive Pitters. This vid should help a bit (despite our use of a fake cherry!) Yes, a cherry pitter will pit olives--if you're careful. But if you want to do a bunch of olives fast, the olive pitter is much easier to use. An olive pitter will not, however, pit cherries--they usually smoosh. At last! Enlightenment. Olive pitter available online: $7.95

GREETINGS

    Hi. I'm Owen Mack. My father opened KitchenArts in 1980, the offshoot of an importing business his father started in 1930; you could say I've got kitchenware in my blood.

    KitchenArts is a hardware store for cooks--a shop that is serious about carrying items that get the job done. We're not into trendy colors, trendy designs, or kitchen fads. We don't carry tea cozies, we don't carry tablecloths.

    We do carry 248 different kitchen knives, 312 different pots & pans, 7 types of mandoline, 5 zesters, and 1 egg pricker.

    Have a question? Ask us...many publications do. You've seen us in Cook's Illustrated, Cooking Light, Elle Decor, The Boston Globe, and the New York Times. Boston Magazine has named us "Best of Boston" so many times we're in the Hall of Fame. We've got an opinion on most anything kitchen-related, and we'd like to share our expertise with you.
