Evaluation
I personally am really interested in this gadget.

Out of 1,968 reviews it has received a 4.5 star rating. That’s a lot of positive feedback for such a small device.
Final Chef’n StemGem Strawberry Huller Review
We are going to give the Chef’n StemGem Strawberry Huller a Thumbs Up review. What we like about it of course is how well received it is and the positive feedback, but there is more to it than that. A lot of times we refrain from really getting involved in pie or jam making because of the extra work that is involved like preparing the stawberries, for example. If something can make this task a whole lot easier then it really should act as an incentive to do some great home baking and preserving. With our busy lifestyles we are often robbed of great pleasures in life like home baked goods and preserves. So hats off to the Chef’n StemGem Strawberry Huller.
Our Recommendation
Although the Chef’n StemGem Strawberry Huller has some raving reviews there are also some negative ones. Some people have found other similar products that work better, but most probably at a higher price tag. Others have said don’t use it on overly ripe strawberries which makes perfect sense. Some are saying that you can use it on other fruits that need to be cored and cleaned. If you are into gadgets of this nature then you might want to take a look at the Sonic Peeler.
