Product Information
Full details
The GEFU POMO is an essential kitchen tool for home cooks who frequently prepare fruit and vegetables, offering a streamlined way to create 12 perfectly even wedges in a single motion. By combining high-grade stainless steel blades with an integrated juice-catching base, it eliminates the mess typically associated with slicing soft fruits like tomatoes or firm produce like apples and pineapples; however, users should be aware that it requires a flat, stable surface and consistent downward pressure to ensure the blades pass completely through firmer items.

FAQs
Can I use the POMO for pineapples?
Yes, it is designed for pineapples, but ensure the pineapple is peeled and cored to a size that fits within the diameter of the cutter.
Is the unit made of plastic?
The POMO features a high-grade stainless steel housing and blades, ensuring durability and hygiene.
Does it remove the core?
Yes, the center ring of the blade assembly is specifically designed to remove the core or stalk while slicing.
Can I wash this in the dishwasher?
Yes, the GEFU POMO is completely dishwasher safe.
What is the maximum fruit size?
The device is optimized for produce that fits comfortably within the cutting diameter (11.4 cm width).
Troubleshooting
The fruit does not cut all the way through
Ensure the fruit is placed perfectly centered on the base. If the fruit is too large, trim the bottom slightly to create a flat surface before slicing.
Blades feel dull or catch on skin
Check for any trapped debris between the blades and ensure they are cleaned thoroughly in the dishwasher after every use to maintain the serrated edge.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup is straightforward: ensure the POMO is placed on a flat, non-slip surface before use. The device is compatible with most medium-sized round fruits and vegetables. For care, although the unit is dishwasher safe, it is recommended to rinse it immediately after use to prevent fruit acids from drying on the stainless steel blades. Store the unit in a dry place to maintain the sharpness of the Japanese steel. Avoid using on surfaces that are not level to prevent the blade base from rocking during the press.
