Detaching a Wedger from a Pineapple Safely

[Kelly8]

After you slide the wedger through the pineapple, what is the safest way to detach it from the bottom? I have a show tonight and she wants to see it, but I don't want to do it if I can't figure out how to do that.

After you put it on the base to finish it, it will push the "meat" of the pineapple up. There are wedger tips in the files section.

After you've pushed the wedger through the pineapple, lift the pineapple, with the wedger still attached to the bottom, onto the safety cover - making sure that the handles of the wedger and the handles of the cover line up...push the wedger down onto the cover. This will pop the pineapple halves, and the core up and out - easy peasy!

Thanks! That does sound easy!

Thanks! That does sound easy!

The guests were very impressed when I did that on Saturday. It's a WOW moment.

Yes, everytime I demo it, I sell like 3 or 4, WE (my director and I) have a vendor event a carshow this weekend, and we are going to demo the pineapple wedger, a few times during the day and keep the fresh pineapple in the Cool and serve. I think this will get big attention.

I did this, Becky, and it worked awesome! There were even a couple of "wows" in the audience! Thanks a bunch!

...it was great to cut up that fresh pineapple - then throw it into the magic pot on top of 2 sticks of butter (minus 1/3 cup after melted) and 2 cups of brown sugar ...top with a cake mix (made with that 1/3 cup melted butter, 3 eggs, and juice from pineapple+water to make up needed liquid)...Microwave 16 minutes (without DCB lid).... awesome ohhs and ahhhs when that is flipped onto the Large White Round Platter. Oh and YUM
Now that is something that we could relegate our DCB to -- just showing it as a "isn't this fun" and "delicious" and you can get it when you book a show for free or half price....
Just got to change my way of thinking....and make it work!

You're welcome! (but I think I got it from someone on here!) It's always a WOW for me too.

Love this! I love using the pineapple wedger but for summer desserts I've only done the tropical torte. I'd love to show the DCB and show it in the mircrowave (I've only had a host pick a DCB recipe ONCE in my 1 1/2 years!). I tried doing a cake in it once and it was HORRIBLE. I definitely want to try this. But apparently i'm either stupid or tired...can you type out the recipe in more of a typical recipe format?

Elise -

I recommend:

1 stick butter
1 cup brown sugar
1 jar cherries - OPTIONAL
1 can (14 oz) pineapple rings
1 box cake mix
(ingredients for cake mix as directed)

Microwave butter & brown sugar in microcooker. Mix until well blended. Pour into DCB. Arrange pineapple rings in desired pattern, add cherries for design if desired. Mix cake batter as directed, EXCEPT for using pineapple juice from canned pineapples for liquid (i.e if cake mix requests 1 1/3 water...use pineapple juice and add water to complete 1 1/3). Pour cake batter over brown sugar concoction. Microwave uncovered for about 16-18 minutes. Let sit 3-5 minutes before inverting onto SA Large Round Platter. YUM and WOW simultaneously!
