Kitchen Gizmo Avocado Slicers 2 Pack

This device is very easy to use. So far, I've only applied it to five avocados. I'm very clumsy and a horrible chef. Suffice to say, if I can use this item effectively, then just about anybody can. get the most out of this product, Every individual avocado that I've sliced has come out as two clean cut halves. I can easily convert an avocado into guacamole within between half of or three quarters of a minute. The design is cool in that it somewhat resembles a shark. The blades aren't super sharp and narrow to the point that if accidentally touched, fingers will bleed profusely and have to be amputated. For an adult to cut themselves with this, they'd have to do it on purpose. But do allow the vegetables that you dissect to sit for a couple of days. The first avocado that I applied this device to was too ripe. As a result, the "pitter" became loose when it was clamped down onto the large wooden knob like seed, as it was nestled unflinching, in the nucleus of the very thick green "vegetable-meat". However, It is not broken, but is now "detachable". It can still be placed back firmly in it's slot, and the device still functions perfectly. It is certainly better than the butter-knife / plastic spoon that's liable to break "tag-team." There is still somewhat of a problem with guacamole changing color from green to beige/brown. A representative from the company that manufactures this product relayed to me that that is a result of "oxidation". I put this guacamole into an air tight bin as soon as it's prepared, so I'm still annoyed by this occurrence. I've never seen brown guacamole at "Quizno's" ? Maybe they throw out what ever is left at the end of the day? In any case, as long as the blades themselves don't turn brown, this is a product I will continue to use. It does every thing that it's promoted as doing.
