How to Use the Flexicado Avocado Tool for Pits and Slices

Quick answer

The Flexicado Avocado Tool is a firm yet flexible scoop and slicer that makes removing pits and slicing avocado flesh easy and safe, even for kids.

Steps to pit and slice with the Flexicado

1. Cut the avocado in half lengthwise: Use a chef's knife to slice around the pit, then twist the halves apart. A common mistake is cutting too deep and hitting the pit; instead, cut until you feel the pit, then rotate the avocado while keeping the knife against it.
2. Scoop out the pit with the Flexicado: Hold the avocado half with the pit facing up. Gently press the curved end of the Flexicado into the pit, then twist and lift to remove it. A common mistake is using too much force; the tool is flexible, so a gentle twist works best.
3. Slice the flesh with the Flexicado's teeth: Use the serrated edge of the Flexicado to slice the avocado flesh while it's still in the skin. Run the teeth along the inside of the skin to create even slices or cubes. A common mistake is pressing too hard, which can tear the flesh; let the teeth do the work. If you need cubes for guacamole, slice the flesh in a grid pattern before scooping it out with the flat side of the tool.
