It's funny, the 2 items you said no one probably has anymore, I have; and I have to say I like my -grandpa's potato peeler- better than the new ones I have. My -can opener- looks like the same as yours, and is on my icebox. Come to think of it, my kitchen/kitchen drawers are kind of like a blast from the past.
I use the straw method for cherries, but never used it for strawberries. I have to agree with you there, I'll stick with a knife for strawberries.

Method 1 is the one I use the most, except I usually pull the leaves out first by hand, then cut a little cone-shaped piece out with my paring knife. The straw method is fascinating.
One method you left out is to use a dedicated strawberry huller. I have a very inexpensive one that looks like fat flat tweezers. There also are other ones out there that look like nose-hair tweezers, including one or more sold by OXO. You can get them on Amazon.

I was just going to say, what is the average weight of the leaves and non edible stuff you are removing? I mean, over all? What % of strawberry typical contains all that stuff you want to take off?
Ok, now I'm over thinking this. I never give this a second thought when I lop the top off. Ain't nobody got time for that.

We discovered the straw method a few years back and my husband thought it was so neat that he is now the official strawberry huller. (huller? -)
I like that it takes the bitter center out of strawberries that might not be as sweet as they should.
Great video!

I use a pairing knife in the same direction as method 2, so kind of a cross between the two methods, with the tip of the pairing knife pointed toward the center and down a little. Oh and I thought you were my favourite Friends character at first glance; )

It's interesting that the straw method wastes more of the strawberry and it came from a strawberry growing association. Looks like they're trying to sell more strawberries this way. You've just uncovered the great strawberry conspiracy!

I stopped taking the green part off the strawberries when I eat these or make smoothies because there are actually vitamins in the leaves. Of course, that would be gross if you are making a dessert with strawberries.

What a fun and creative video! Loved it! I usually just pull the leaves off with my fingers and eat the rest! Haha! And if I'm putting them in smoothies I just leave the leaves on!

I'm glad that you didn't use one of those -one hit wonder- tools that is designed to hull strawberries but can't do anything else. :) I'm a paring knife girl!
