Avocado Slicer

An avocado slicer is a gadget for cutting uniform avocado wedges without squishing the avocado flesh. Avocado slicer and peeler make working with avocados easier and safer. They usually have a safe knife blade on one side and a slicing or scooping area on the other. Using a sharp knife to slice one is risky since you have to handle the avocado a lot to get past the huge hard pit. It can be difficult to extract the pit after it has been cut due to its slickness and the adjoining fruit's softness and proclivity to deform. Some people are successful with avocado slicers, while others find that using a knife to cut their slices is more successful. The gadgets may be especially useful for those with impairments, older people with arthritis, etc.

What are the features of an avocado slicer?

The avocado slicer & pitter are designed to, in one motion, turn one-half an avocado into slices, and scoop the slices up at the same time as they are cutting. Green avocado slicers are about 17 ½ cm (7 inches) long. Some have handles made of plastic and stainless steel, while others are made entirely of nylon plastic. A ring with spokes that is roughly circular or oval serves as the thin avocado slicer's cutting portion. The spokes on the nylon avocado slicer/pitter may barely extend halfway into the middle cutting portion. The 3 in 1 avocado slicers, like the oxo avocado slicer, are probably best for people who do not use this tool on a daily basis for a specific purpose.

How to use an avocado slicer

A ripe avocado should be cut in half lengthwise and the pit removed and discarded before using an avocado slicer pitter. The avocado is then held in your palm, broad end facing away from you, skin-side down. Starting at that end, you insert the slicer and pull it down and toward you, possibly narrowing it at the sides depending on the type of avocado you are using. Kiwis and mangoes are two additional fruits that can be sliced with an avocado slicer.
