OXO Good Grips 3-in-1 Avocado Slicer

i love my avocado tool but it has made eating avocados a little too easy, and my avo consumption has increased by at least 200% (but avocados contain good fats, right? which means it's ok to eat them whole?). yes you can just use a knife, but this tool makes eating avocados fun, without the risk of stabbing yourself to get the pit out. excellent for cutting up avocado for salads, sandwiches, guacamole, or as previously mentioned, eating them whole. another bonus is that the tool works equally well on semi-ripe avocados for when you have a guac emergency. the tool is easy to clean, and the only downside that i've found is that when i find myself slicer-less, i immediately regret leaving it at home

I rated this item 4 stars because I can't get the steel grips to penetrate the pit and remove it. The knife and slicer works great. I will say though, that if you have a slightly over ripe avocado, the fruit will get caught in the slicer. For a perfectly ripe avocado it works great, Maybe it's just me, but because the design is so cute its fun to use. Is this item necessary? No. Is it useful and does it function well? yes.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program The OXO Good Grips 3-in-1 Avocado Slicer, Green works very well as advertised. The blade easily halves the avocado, making it equal to any sharp knife in the drawer. The pit remover is actually easier to use than a sharp knife I've always slapped the knife blade into the seed & twisted, but then I have to pull the seed off the blade. I've never felt quite comfortable slamming a knife blade into the seed, or slicing the meat toward my hand -it goes against everything I was taught about cutting toward my skin with a sharp knife. The Good Grips tool provides a much safer way to prepare avocados. I've owned several avocado slicers which had wire cutters, and the wires always sprung rending the tool useless. The slicing strips of the Good Grips slicer are sturdy plastic, cutting and scooping easily and cleanly through both large and small avocados. On very ripe, soft avocado meat I've had to help the last little bit through the tool by pushing on the end of the avocado peel, but this is a minor thing. The tool fits comfortably in large or small hands; it certainly speeds up the preparation of avocados and is a clean way to prepare them; and it washes up easily. I'm glad I have it, and I recommend it.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program ... in order to test this kitchen gadget out. The avocados I got were decently ripe and pretty tasty (not the hard underripe ones blah.) The plastic blade did a suprisingly good job of cutting the avocados open easily and cleanly. The pit remover worked pretty well. I can't say the same for the slicer. If you like your Avacados ripe and kinda soft, the slicer is going to do an abysmal job of making slices; halfway through the cut, the slices get jumbled up and turn into a lump. So, this is fine for making guacamole... not so good for presentation on a plate. So I guess two out of three functions is not bad. HOWEVER, you can easily acomplish what this gadget does with a good knife and save yourself some drawer space from another single function kitchen tool.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program I had picked this up on a whim because I love avocados. I love my avocados with lemon juice, salt, pepper, and some salsa on top. Anyway, this I didn't have high expectations for, honestly. But the cutting part works like a charm. Just as good as a knife. Better. The putter actually works. I usually ended up smashing my avocado a little when trying to remove the pit myself. And the slicer part actually digs all the meat out without wasting any. It's so easy. I read some reviews complaining but I learned that I start on one end. Get it a third of the way up, to make sure it's detached. Then I go to the other side and get the whole thing up and like magic it's perfectly sliced avocado. Works great on sandwiches, Salad,, Man I just am thrilled and live this.
