This $11 Kitchen Accessory Cuts, Slices, and Pits Avocados in Seconds

If you’re a frequent consumer of guacamole and burritos, you might be a pro at the art of cutting an avocado. For the rest of us who still struggle with peeling, slicing, and pitting, the OXO Good Grips 3-in-1 Avocado Slicer ($11) can do it all for you.

The all-in-one tool “splits, pits, and slices” avocados without requiring a whole lot of effort on your part. The plastic serrated blade is sharp enough to cut through an avocado, but it's also completely safe to handle without worrying about cutting yourself in the process. The stainless steel pitter consists of three edges that remove the pits with one quick twist (no more failed attempts at digging it out with a spoon). Then, the plastic fan blade removes the creamy insides from the skin in seven uniform slices. The tool also has a nice, comfortable non-slip grip and is dishwasher-safe.

With a 4.6-star rating and over 30,000 reviews, the avocado slicer provides a safe, user-friendly, and mess-free solution to avocado prep. Plus, $11 is a small price to pay to forever avoid “avocado hand.”
