Avocado stones cause a surprising number of kitchen injuries, mostly from people hitting the pit with a knife blade and then trying to twist it out. A dedicated tool takes the knife out of the risky part.
The OXO Good Grips 3-In-1 Avocado Slicer does three jobs in one piece. A stainless steel pitter takes the stone out with one quick twist, and the slicing section cuts the fruit into seven pieces that lift out of the skin. The handle also has measurement markings.
How it works day to day
The tool splits the avocado, pitter twists out the stone, then you press the slicer into the flesh and lift. You end up with neat slices for toast or a salad, and no knife is involved at any stage. For guacamole you’d just mash the flesh in a bowl.
The honest limits
It only does its best work on a ripe avocado. A rock-hard one won’t slice cleanly and a very soft one can squash. It also does one thing, and a decent paring knife and a spoon can manage the same job, so this is about convenience and safety rather than something you can’t live without.
It’s top-rack dishwasher safe, so clean-up is easy, and the soft non-slip grip is comfortable to hold.
Should you buy it?
If you eat avocado every week and want a faster, safer routine, it’s a sensible little tool. If you only buy one now and then, a knife and a spoon will do.
