Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Amco Avocado Slicer and Pitter
Customer Review: great for avocado AND eggs also
Summary: 5 Stars
we eat a lot of avocados in our house. For our workouts, it is a good supplement to some GOOD fat as well as healthy for our hearts when eaten in moderation.
Peeling and slicing avocado, however, has always been a pain in our butts as we always have problems smushing at least some(sometimes all, when too ripe) of the avocados.
A good avocado is delicate and soft, but unless we want guacamole each time, a mashed avocado isn't that appealing on top of crisp Romaine lettuce and tomatoes.
Along comes this slicer that makes slicing the avocado easier.
With a nice ripe avocado, this slicer can go through it with ease. It does leave a little bit behind(but not as much as when we scoop it out with spoons and try to slice it). With some practice, we can almost scoop the HAAS clean right against the skin leaving very little waste.
Avocados are not cheap products so every little bit helps save money.
how to use it:
one would still have to use a knife to slice the avocado in half. Then use the corer from the slicer to take out the pit.
placing the slicer along the wide end and scraping in one smooth motion without stopping seems to create the best results.
not all of the slices come off the first half. So we just keep at it untill all the halves have been sliced as each of the new halves that get sliced help get the residues from the last halves out.
with the very last half, we push it out gently using our palms.
It is also a great egg salad slicer. Pushing a boiled egg through it on the wide end, then turn the egg around and run it through again to create small cubes. Simple and fast!
I can see why some people would deem this just another gadget in the kitchen, and it can become one if you only eat avocados ever so often. And if when you do, you make guacamole, this slicer is not for you.
But if you are looking to eat healthier and like avocados on your salads, as slices on top of some triscuits(delicious! and make great horse do overs[hors d'oeuvres] for parties!), just by themselves, this slicer is a great aid.
