Avocado Hand Injuries (...But Guacamole is so Delicious)

A surprisingly common hand injury in the kitchen comes from improperly preparing avocados. Taking the pit out is dangerous if not careful! Cutting avocados seems easy, but one wrong slice, and you can end up in serious pain and with disability. I review what constitutes proper avocado cutting and de-pitting technique, which might make it that much easier (and safer) for you next time. Enjoy your avocados!

Man, I'm a mexican guy and I've never seen someone in my country being injured by cutting an avocado. Even freaking kids can do it by themselves xx

A dull knife can slide off the pit into your hand. Using a spoon to scoop it out will not result in injury

Doing the knife technique for generations in latin america.. avocados reach the north of the continent and you guys stab yourself😂

Who is stabbing the pit? Sheesh! Avocados need warning labels now.
