Singular atoms of iron transfer to the fruit and oxidize, while the iron of the SS knife stays connected to carbon atoms that will not allow oxidation..................

Not really, just use ceramic knives, but you have to be extra careful with them.

1. They are extremely sharp! Can cut you and you won’t even know until you see the blood!

2. They are fragile and can break if you drop them or pry with them.

They used to be expensive, but have come down considerably in the last couple of years.............

Garden/Foodie Ping!

Makes sense about the knife. However, we are 99.999% of the time consuming avocado, apples, lettuce, etc. right after they are cut.

I have found that if you leave the PIT in a halved avocado, and wrap it in Press and Seal wrap, it keeps really well for a few days with no browning. Haven’t tried that with apples...any bad ones go to the mule or into the bird (squirrel!) feeder. ;)

It’s the chromium in the stainless steel that inhibits oxidation. Carbon is present in all steels.

I have a couple of “cheap” made in PRC ceramic knives, received as a gift. I also have a couple of Kyocera made in Japan ceramic knives, also a gift from someone who knows me better. The Japanese knives are much sharper and I think stronger than the Chinese.

Here is my trick. Throughly wash the avocado with wash that I bought for veggies. this is to try to get rid of germs.

then cut it on the end. use what you want. leave peel on and pit in as long as possible and scoop as needed. Store in tight wrap or container OR BOTH. lasts longer but still need to use within about two days

My wife got a set as a Christmas gift, Chinese stuff.

They work great, just don’t put any side pressure on them.

She broke the largest one off at the handle...............
