Just need to add that you can take you two halves, then slice them into 10 perfect slices using your Apple Wedger!

Great idea! Haven't heard that before.
 
What am I doing wrong. For the life of me, I can't get the darn thing to go straight. and then it's a mess ;)
 
If you're short (like me) and trying to use your kitchen counter, it may be too tall. You may need to use it in the sink or move to a shorter table. If works best when you can be over the top of it and use your upper body weight to push it straight down.
 
Be sure you are rocking it as you push down. If you're trying to just cut straight down it won't work.
 
Cut the pineapple in half so you're not trying to cut the whole thing - works much better :)
 
Thanks for the input :) I did everything except cut it in half, I'll try that next time ;)
 
Yes, cut the pineapple in half, then start your wedger on the side of the half that was in the center of the pineapple. This will be the widest and make starting the easiest.I am wondering, because I get sooooo many people saying theirs doesn't work right, if you are using the wedger base properly. Do you transfer the wedged pineapple, still in the wedger, to the base and finish it on that? If not, this will make getting the entire pineapple wedged next to impossible.
