A generous reader based in America has offered up a second pineapple eye remover, for a lucky winner… he/she will mail it directly to the winner. Many thanks to our anonymous donor… :) Also, I have acquired an extra puto bumbong steamer to send to Betty Q, as a thank you from MM and all the readers who have benefitted from her posted recipes, tips, comments. So comments section here is now closed, and winners announced shortly… Thank you.

i would appreciate getting the puto bumbong steamer as a totally unexpected christmas gift :) i’ve never tried cooking puto bumbong, but having been away from home for a long time, just having a taste of homemade puto bumbong this christmas would mean like home to me…

I would love a puto bumbong maker but after seeing the video, I’m sold on the pineapple eye remover. Fascinating —I did not realize it would make the task so easy. Please pick me!

Netoy, thanks for that link… yup, that’s how it works! Actually, I am deathly allergic to pineapples, so I never peel them myself. :)

I would also love to make puto bumbong!!! I am a grad student here in Atlanta, and I will be here for Christmas by myself, but my friend has family from Brazil coming, and I would love to share this Pinoy holiday tradition with her!!!

Millet…I am just trying to imagine this pineapple eye remover on a Queen pineapple…e di wala nang natira na pineapple to savour? Talk about pineapples, here In North America, i have probably eaten all types of pineapple…even directly from the farm in Maui. But hands down in my book, the ones produced in Costa Rica is DA BEST!!!!

i was trying to imagine how to use the pineapple eye remover and decided to google it. to my surprise, i got a hit:

looks so easy to use.. but knowing how much of a klutz i am, i’ll probably end up wasting a whole pineapple before i get the hang of it. :)
