We need to pass common sense avocado control now!
Seriously people used a knife to pry out the pit...
Cooking Under the Influence. See it all the time
I cut in four...then twist and turn. Spoon scoop works okay.
Oh fergoshsakes - always use a very sharp knife. Cut in single motion from stem to other end and back to the stem again, around the pit. Twist the halves and remove one to expose the pit. Lightly ‘hack’ the knife edge into the center of the pit and twist - the pit pops right out. Leave two perfectly clean halves for making slices, or easy scooping.
Buy a soft avocado and use a spoon... please
Anyone who does the “avocado-pit-removal-with-a-big-knife” while holding it in their hand should not be allowed near knives.
I use a knife.
Bang the handle on the cutting board when the pit is on it.
Voila! Flying pit!
Advise all liberals to suck the pit out. It’s for the children.
Seriously, people need a training video? You flick away from your hand.
Here’s the way to cut an avocado. I’ve been using this method for 40 years and have never suffered so much as a scratch. First, take a small paring knife and slice into the avocado at the top, the smaller end, down to the nut. Then, move the knife around to the bottom of the avocado and then back to the top, keeping the knife in contact with the nut. Next rotate the avocado 90 degrees and make the same cut, from the top to the bottom and back up again. Now, starting that the smaller end, take the point of the avocado’s skin and peal it back to the bottom to remove it. Repeat this with the other three quarters. Finally, starting at the middle of the avocado, peal the quarters apart from the nut. They will come off cleanly and easily.
People who have to be told how to do these simple things have Biden-like brains.
“I had a little too much wine before adding the final touch to my Mexican mole enchiladas...”
Dumb@ss! You make the Enchiladas FIRST, THEN you drink the Tequila!
Oh, c’mon... Hold the avocado half up to your face with your left hand, with the pit as close to your left eyeball as possible. Then with your right hand violently stab the pit with the sharpest, pointy-est knife in the drawer.
Been doing that for 50 years. Never had an accident yet (’cause I’m scared of missing and putting my eye out... so I NEVER miss).
And if you believe that, swear off avocados RIGHT NOW!
I have never used a knife — just cut the avocado in half and pop out the pit with a spoon. Works every time, even on more solid avocados.
People are really this dumb, that “avacado hand” is a thing, huh?
Nothing could be easier than properly dealing with an avocado: throw the nasty green library paste out as good-for-nothing.
