- Slice in the skin: Draw the slicer through the flesh while it is still in the half-shell, then scoop. Cleanest method.
- Rinse immediately: Avocado residue rinses off easily when fresh and oxidizes into stubborn film when left to dry.
- Twist, do not stab, the pit: Press the remover on and twist. The pit lifts out with no drama and no knife.
