My method is to removing many at a time, The drawback is the cherries are a mash no longer identified which satisfies most cooking applications.
Method 1.There are indivual pliers for removing pits indivually which is slow and tedius. But the cherrie are left more or less complete.
Method 2. Cook until soft, mash to separate the pits, Wipe the cherries across a screen, mesh slightly smaller than the pits purchased in a hardwars store. The pits stay on the screen and the membranes passes through. Pictures indicate this method.
