Afterwards, cleaning the knife was a hundred times easier than scrubbing in between those plastic blades. The riper avocados mashed together as the blade slid through the fruit, and the full slices it did make were more jagged than those made with the knife. The fan blade works is great for removing the flesh without making a mess, but it struggles to cut clean slices because the plastic simply isn't sharp enough. By comparison, the pit on a similarly ripe avocado came out clean using the knife method. That's fine if you're trying to make guacamole, but not so ideal if you want those nice slices. When I tried to remove the pits of a few overripe avocados, they became prematurely mashed. The slicer's serrated plastic blade sliced through the avocado with ease, and the pitting tool worked on most-but not all-of the avocados. The gadget works as advertised, but it fails to accomplish anything a knife can't do.

Quarter the avocado, peel the skin back to remove it, and slice the flesh on a cutting board. ![]() The cleaner, more presentable way takes a little bit more time (but I think it’s worth it). The easiest way to scoop out the flesh is with a large spoon. When the halves are separated and pitted, you have two options. ![]() Then, twist and pull-easy as, er, avocado pie! If your knife is sharp, the edge easily embeds itself into the pit. Grip a sharp knife by the butt end and gently tap the pit with the heel of the blade. For safety, you can place a folded dish towel underneath the avocado, giving you an extra layer of protection. I’ve pitted hundreds (if not thousands) of avocados this way without spilling a drop of blood, so I promise it’s not as daunting as it seems.Īfter cutting and twisting the avocado apart into two halves, cradle the pit-in half in your hand. Most people use a chef's knife to slice avocados, but some worry about cutting their hands using this method. Using the knife - it made clean cuts and was easy to use. ![]()
