Boring post where I recommend a useful product for avocado eaters.

[CountFoscoHasMiceInHisPocket]

This is a great little pot for storing your mashed avocado or your guacamole. And because it's airtight it means it doesn't go that unappealing brown colour, it stays nice and green. So you can mash a few avocadoes in one go and then store it in the fridge for a few days.

I know some people use cling film and some people use lemon juice to prevent browning but this is the most effective thing I've found.

What makes it different to all the many other airtight containers I have in my cupboard?

The lid presses down inside the container so that it's sitting on the avocado, rather than the lid just closing over the top of the container, if you see what I mean.

I see your avocado pot and raise you a 3 in 1 avocado tool

Avocado tool

I'm tempted as have a £10 Amazon voucher I need to use. But I know the lid will get lost or it'll be being used for other things just when I need it.

It looks like a deadly martial arts weapon!

What is this thing called “left over avocado”????

This what I was about to say! Any leftover gets polished off (usually by me) like this morning when we had bacon and avocado baguettes.

Exactly, it stores very well in the stomach.

And if we buy it through that link - do you get a referral fee?

I'm a dainty lady who sometimes finds three ripe avocadoes at once and has to use 'em or lose 'em and obv my daintiness prevents me from scoffing the lot.

lol I was going to say 'and btw I'm not an avocado influencer' just in case people thought I was making money out of this. The only affiliate links I see people post on MN are ones for Skin and Me and you can tell they're getting a cut as it has their name in the link.

Nothing in this for me sadly!

4 in 1 then!

😂 Avo good evening!

@TheCountessofFitzdotterel thank you for that recommendation. I’ve just bought the tool as we eat lots of avocados and sometimes they’re a pain to get into.

I did look at the airtight pot that you recommended, OP, but it seems a lot of money for what it is. Thank you for bringing it to my attention. 😊

Mate. It's in the "save for later" basket.

Anyone else with mad tiny useful recommendations because I'm here for them.

Ohh that’s a good un. I like that

What I would like is avocado ripeness detector tool. I don't always judge correctly. There's no disappointment like the disappointment of slicing into an avocado too early.

I have one of those tools.

I rarely use it to be really honest. It just cut the avo in half and scoop out the flesh with a spoon. This method doesn't slice it as nicely though.

I live in avo land, and as I'm sure we all know, they are very seasonal. So sometimes I have loads of them in, all in different spots in the kitchen, so they ripen at different times. But no matter which method I use, there are always one over ripe one and one under ripe one. You have about a 30 minute time slot to get the perfect avo.

I currently have two in the fridge and two in the cupboard. As I also can't just have one ready and waiting,

I've never come across such demanding fruit.

Love the stuff though.

Whoever invents that deserves a Nobel Prize.

I hear ya!

I do not like avocado.

<misses point of thread>

Gettin’ me one of THESE!

Thank you OP I think I will buy one. Like you, in my house, its feast or famine with avocados when they all ripen at once. Do you know you can freeze them? Just remove stone and skin then pop in freezer. They defrost in a few hours. Costco do large bags of frozen ones too
