OXO Good Grips 3-in-1 Avocado Slicer

The satisfying bit here is the pit removal: a stainless steel pitter grabs the avocado pit and removes it with one quick twist. The OXO Good Grips 3-in-1 Avocado Slicer also splits the avocado and lifts the flesh out in seven pieces. That’s a fairly specific job description, and a useful one if avocado toast is a regular part of your breakfast routine.

We like this best for sandwiches and salads, where those seven slices have somewhere to go besides straight into a bowl for mashing. It handles the splitting, pitting and slicing without a separate knife, and the soft, non-slip grip gives you something comfortable to hold while you work.

This is a gift for the person who keeps avocados on the shopping list, not someone who needs another kitchen gadget on principle. Once the toast is assembled, the tool can go in the dishwasher’s top rack.
