Kitchen Tip: Cutting an Avocado

Cut into the avocado until you hit the pit, then roll it through until you have cut all the way around.

Twist the halves to open.

Whack the pit with the blade of your knife so it sticks in, then twist it out. You'll have to knock the pit off. I usually strike the handle of my knife against the side of my trash can so the pit falls in.

You can either scoop it out as is, or you can slice or dice it right in the skin. Then scoop it out with a spoon.
