I have a large plastic knife, use it to cut up lettuce (mostly iceberg by the head). It seems to make a difference as to reduced browning and longer-lasting greens.
I don’t think the plastic would be sharp enough for cutting apples and avocadoes, but maybe the ceramic would work? I have had decent results with lemon juice on apple slices, without rapid browning, but am careful to store them in “airtight” container in the fridge as soon as possible.
As for avocadoes, can’t you just take a new thin slice off the top, and it looks good again? Sort of like with moldy cheese.

The best tool for opening an avocado is a bird's beak knife:

Also, plastic and ceramic knives can’t be detected by stuff that detects metal.
Not that that’s relevant here.

Are there certain kinds of plastic knives to avoid?

I thought it was the carbon. Why do they advertise ‘high carbon steel’?...............

Split avocados. Remove pit. Remove skin. Place on tray in freezer. When frozen, vacuum seal them.
I have several vac sealed packs in the freezer that show no brown and are almost 8 months old. They taste fresh a new when thawed...and still no brown. Problem solved.

To: Red Badger
I know that if you pull apart an apple with your thumbs, it usually won’t turn brown.
The fruit, not the computer.
To: Red Badger
I halve avocados with a plastic knife. They brown just as fast as they do when I use a metal blade.
