I’m glad the New York Times is covering how to safely cut an avocado, because I’ve messed that up 100% of the time I’ve tried to handle an avocado in the past month. It makes you almost want to forgive them for that green pea guacamole thing.

We bought a special OXO gadget for slicing avocados. Life changer. 🙂
Still have that scar…
As Velda indicated, we’ve also purchased an avocado knife/slicer to avoid the struggle and the slicing hassles. Here’s a sample model that may be worth exploring: https://www.amazon.com/OXO-Grips-Avocado-Slicer-Green/dp/B0088LR592/
In case it’s still green and not as soft, we still go for a tea spoon.
Will try that out, thank you!
Love this tool. Swear by it!
I’m just using my nerplam. Yeah…we were doing that years ago.

I personally would really like to know how to cut (and peel) mangos. Thai mango, in particluar, that is yellow in color. Whenever I try making sticky rice with mango and coconut milk – I lose half the mango… I eventually just bite it off the whole thing.. =)
LOL! Come to South Africa. We’ll teach you
This is really intriguing stuff for me. I’m Colombian, in our particular country region (medellin) we eat avocados 2 or 3 times a week since we are children.
Here Everybody, knows how to peel, cut & serve an avocado. Even if you are a child old enough to handle a knife you will know how to cut the green stuff.
I can’t imagine someone needing a special tool to cut them. Those are totally unthinkable here.
Is this just a cultural stuff? or are you handling them wrong?
