I looked at that.  It looks very much like our melon baller but with
teeth.

 DD> That might have sped things along. But, I got pretty good with the

 DS> I get the job of removing the stem and white core from strawberries.
 DS> We have an old steak knife that works quite well.  It is serated, and

It just boils down to what one is used to.  Perhaps one method is
"better", but I am reminded of the saying "perfection is the enemy of
good".
