Remove the stems from your strawberries in 3, 2, 1…

All you need to remove the stems from your fresh strawberries super quickly is a straw. Preferably a sturdy one, such as a stainless-steel straw or one made of thick plastic. Push the straw through the strawberry from the bottom and pop the stem right out. That’s it! Easy, quick, and you don’t have to mess around with a knife. The only downside is—as far as I’m concerned—that the straw leaves a hole in your strawberry. But you can also turn that into something fun if you like. Maybe by filling the strawberries with something?
