"cherry pitter"的定义和意义

What is a "cherry pitter"?

A cherry pitter is a specialized kitchen tool designed specifically for removing the pits or seeds from cherries. It typically consists of a handheld device with a central shaft and a small opening or chamber at the top for inserting cherries. When a cherry is placed in the chamber, a plunger or mechanism is used to push the pit out of the fruit, leaving behind a hole where the pit once was. Cherry pitters come in various styles, including handheld models with a single chamber for processing one cherry at a time, as well as larger, tabletop versions capable of pitting multiple cherries simultaneously.
