Making guacamole is fun, but pitting an avocado can be un-fun if you haven’t learned this easy trick.
Pretty much you’re gonna cut your avocado in half. Then you’re going to take your knife – preferably a sharp one – and you’re gonna hack it right into the side of the pit. Like this:
And then you’re going to gently wiggle your knife around a little, thereby loosening up the pit…and then you just pop out the pit using your knife to push the pit away from the avocado half! Look! It’s a pit!
Pretty easy! Yeah? I was impressed with myself when I figured this out a few years ago. But, that’s just me :)
Great pictures! I do love avocadoes. They’re so rich and creamy, satisfying….healthy.
And the avocado didn’t even know it was cut until it was too late . . . .
