OXO Avocado Slicer

The stainless steel pitter is designed to handle standard avocado pits effectively. While it works on most sizes, extremely small or unusually large pits may require a slightly different angle or pressure to twist out cleanly.

While specifically engineered for the texture and shape of avocados, the slicer can technically be used on similar soft-fleshed fruits like mangoes or papayas. However, the pitter is purpose-built for avocado pits and may not be suitable for the stones of other fruits.

The slicer is designed to glide through ripe avocado flesh easily. If your avocado is under-ripe or very firm, you may need to apply a bit more pressure, but the tool is intended for ready-to-eat fruit.

The tool is top-rack dishwasher safe, which is the easiest way to clean it. If you prefer hand washing, simply rinse it under warm water with mild soap, being careful around the stainless steel pitter.

Yes, the soft, non-slip handle is specifically designed to provide a secure grip even when your hands are slightly damp or greasy from food preparation, which is a significant safety improvement over using a standard kitchen knife.
