OXO Good Grips Avocado Slicer and Pitter

Yes, the plastic blade is specifically designed to be sharp enough to slice through avocado skin cleanly without being sharp enough to cut your fingers during normal use.

It is designed to accommodate most standard avocado pits. For exceptionally large or small pits, you may need to adjust your technique slightly, but it generally provides a secure grip for twisting the pit out.

Yes, the entire tool is top-rack dishwasher safe, making cleanup simple after you finish prepping your avocado.

While it is engineered specifically for the size and texture of avocados, the slicing end can technically be used to scoop and slice other soft fruits like mangoes or papayas, though it is not its primary intended use.

The fan-shaped slicer works best on ripe avocados. If the fruit is extremely soft or overripe, the slices may not hold their shape perfectly, but the tool will still effectively scoop the fruit out of the skin.
