Does anyone have any tips on how to get the pit off the knife?
Whack the pit with another knife
It’s clear from the image you throw it away
People are idiots andll try to whack that seed full force with a blunt potato peeler.
Just don’t go all Conan on the pit when you chop it. A light tap with a french chef knife is all it takes to embed the blade. After twisting it free of the avocado I sort of wipe the pit into the top of whatever empty milk carton I’m using as a compost container. It drops off the blade very easily.
I’m so confused about the whacking a knife with your hand, so you are presumably holding the knife with the other hand into a fairly hard object, nestled in another unsupported round object. You should hold the half with the pit with a light strike of the knife then twist.
consider just cutting it like a tomato and removing the sliced pit.
You could also choose to do it like the “oh no, it opens both ways. I was here yesterday” guy from I Think You Should Leave and just keep applying force until you cut right through the pit.
That method is messed up. Just quarter, pop, and peel.
Here’s a link skipping the intro: https://youtu.be/2tzmF9lEZi0?t=50.
That ? Should be an & https://youtu.be/2tzmF9lEZi0&t=50
No, it shouldn’t. The query part is supposed to be delimited by a
?
and multiple fields are usually separated by a&
.Well, the ? doesn’t work on my phone but the & does. I don’t know more than that.
Probably because there’s a question mark earlier in the url?
First you must try to stab the pit and slice your hand. Then you can start doing it the right way.
So take the knife, put your thumb and index finger on either side with the web of your hand on the blunt side of the knife with the sharp side away from you. Squeeze the back of the pit and it should pop right off.
I usually pinch the knife (from the dull side) with my thumb and finger right up against the pit, putting pressure on it just until it pops off. Very similar to your method
You need to demonstrate this knowledge, along with how to properly roll a burrito, to graduate high school in California. I can personally attest.
This is the method I saw all over Mexico. You can also skip the slicing part and just use a spoon to scoop/slice out small pieces.
You guys have avocados?

I just grip the put with a lipless bite looking like squidward trying a krabby patty. The pit isn’t that hard, it’s just mounted in a mush
I take off the pit by rubbing the knife against the sink so it pops off in the sink, and doesn’t dirty anything I can’t clean easily.
