OXO Good Grips 3-in-1 Avocado Slicer - Green

I've seen this thing in various articles for months, but always assumed it would be a hassle having yet another kitchen gadget clogging up space in the drawers. You know what else is a hassle? Having to carefully use a sharp knife to slice open an avocado, then wrestle with the pit for a few minutes, bust out a spoon to scoop out the flesh, then - finally - use that sharp knife to carefully and messily cut the avocado into slices. So I finally pulled the trigger and bought this puppy, and I'm so glad I did. Now I grab ONE thing out of the drawer and use it to easily accomplish all of the above. Just the part that removes the pit saves me enough time and trouble to warrant the purchase.It's solidly built, cute as can be, does all the jobs it's supposed to, easily, is simple to wash up afterward, and it almost certainly costs less than almost every other kitchen gadget you own. Not to mention it kind of looks like a little parrot. Don't be a dummy like me; buy one now. You won't regret it.

My wife and I love this 3-1 tool. We each avocados a lot and this makes it so easy to open, get the seed out and slice the avocado. One tools does it all.

I recommend this great tool for cutting, removing the pit and scooping out the avocado. It will save the palm of the hand from being cut.

I really like this tool! I make guacamole fairly often, which involves cutting up, slicing, and mashing of around 5 avocados. This tool makes it much faster and easier than just using a knife and spoon. You can cut, remove the core, scoop out, and slice; all with one tool. When making guacamole, it also makes it much easier to mash avocados that have already been sliced, so this tool just saves a lot of time and makes everything easier.I have 2 things that I would recommend to improve this item.1. The cutting blade needs to be slightly longer, avocados can drastically vary in size. This blade is too short for avocados on the larger end.2. Again, since avocados range in size, the slicer/scooper isn’t going to fit all avocados very precisely. I have used an avocado slicer/scooper before that had flexible sides, which allowed you to more effectively cut/scoop different size avocados. If this tool had a longer blade and flexible sides on the slicer/scooper end, it would be perfect. I give it 4 stars because there are a couple things I would like to see improved.Here’s my (secret) guac recipe:5 ripe Avocados (mashed)1 can Rotel tomatoes with chilies (completely drained) These come in mild, original, and hot; so you can control the spiciness of the guac by choosing the corresponding tomatoes with chilis.1 lime, completely juiced (pulp is good too)1 full bushel of cilantro (chopped fine). Make sure it is washed thoroughly as it seems cilantro will hold on to dirt/sand. Herb scissors really help with cilantro prep: http://www.amazon.com/RSVP-SNIP-Herb-Scissors/dp/B000TYKWMI/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1408712894&sr=8-1&keywords=herb+scissors½ red onion (chopped fine)Salt and pepper to taste. I have discovered there is no such thing as too much pepper. Salt also helps bring out the flavor of the avocados.Just mash everything together with a potato masher.I bring this to potlucks and make it at home and it always goes fast!Please comment if you have any questions and I will do my best to answer : )

This avocado slicer is absolutely amazing — we use it all the time and honestly don’t know how we lived without it before! It makes slicing, pitting, and scooping so quick and easy, and it’s way safer than using a knife. We were so impressed, we ended up buying more to give to friends and family, and everyone loves it just as much as we do. If you eat avocados even occasionally, do yourself a favor and get this — it’s a total game changer. Highly recommend!

Works better than expected. Bought as a household item and have been using it ever since.

Didn’t really slice well

This is one great tool for the kitchen! We eat avocados all the time and this makes things much easier and safer. After too many close calls trying to get the pit out of an avocado I knew this was a necessary purchase. I love to give this as a gift too
